Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider takes suitable steps to ensure the suitability of those she employs to work with children. Staff know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. Staff ensure that the space they use is safe and secure. The provider and manager give staff regular feedback on their performance. Staff have access to a wide range of suitable and useful training. This good practice helps to ensure the safe and effective running of the club. Staff build good partnerships with parents. They regularly exchange information with each other which helps staff to ensure that they can continue to keep children safe and meet their individual needs effectively. The provider and the manager make reviews of the provision in order to make ongoing improvements. For example, they are reviewing resources in order to meet the changing needs and interests of the children who attend.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy taking part in the activities on offer. They enjoy playing independently with their friends, practising many of the skills they are learning at school. For example, they enjoy using their imagination as they create pictures and models. They carefully use scissors and other tools as they do so. They create their own games with their friends, using props and dress up as different characters. Staff plan activities that encourage children to practise their developing reading skills. For example, children enjoyed taking part in a treasure hunt, carefully reading and following the written clues. Children develop their understanding of their own and other cultures. For example, they learn about different festivals and excitedly tell visitors why some days are special to their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy the responsibility of helping with simple tasks at the club. For example, they enjoy helping to wash up after snack time. They show a good understanding of their own personal safety. For example, they know to tell staff if they need to leave the room to use the cloakroom. They behave well. For example, they include each other in their play and follow the simple rules that are in place to keep them safe. They understand how to share and take turns, such as when playing board games. Staff promote children's good health well. For example, they provide nutritious snacks and join in with ball games outside.
