n There is a strong leadership team in place and together, they accurately evaluate the effectiveness of the club. They continually make positive changes to help meet the needs of all children and to improve their daily experiences. n Children arrive at the club very happily and enthusiastically greet staff and their friends. They say that they love spending time at the club and look forward to attending. They excitedly talk about their favourite things to do while at the club, such as 'playing football' and 'making dens'. n Partnerships with parents are positive. Staff feed back daily about children's activities, welfare and experiences. Parents provide good information when children start at the club, helping staff to get to know children well from the beginning. n Staff actively encourage children to help plan the activities, which helps to meet their interests and to develop their sense of belonging. They provide a well-resourced and

stimulating environment where children can play, relax and socialise. n Children behave very well and staff are consistent in their approach to managing their behaviour. Children develop strong friendships and social skills. Older children are happy to support the younger ones, helping to support their emotional well-being. n Staff do not make the most of opportunities to share information with the school that children also attend to help provide a more consistent care and learning environment for children. n Staff miss some opportunities to fully encourage children's own understanding of the importance of some safety rules, such as how eating while playing can be dangerous.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leaders have regular meetings with staff, where they discuss good practice and the needs of the children. They support staff well to continue their professional development and improve their skills. Staff are encouraged to further their childcare qualifications and have regular appraisals which help to maintain their good practice. Staff have recently focused on their understanding of how to empathise with children's emotions and support their positive behaviour management. They have also looked at children's different play styles and how to support them through positive interactions. The managers and staff make regular improvements to the club. For example, they have developed the way they plan for children and are now more reactive to children's interests and flexible to their ideas. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a good understanding of how to deal with any child protection concerns. They have

up-to-date knowledge of current legislation and implement thorough procedures to help protect children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well and plan enjoyable activities that motivate them. For example, children enjoy making and exploring dens, decorating bead boards and playing electronic games together. Staff engage well with children as they play and encourage plenty of conversation about the children's day, recent experiences and interests. Children excitedly talk about their hobbies and staff ask them what they want to do when they are older, encouraging their imaginations well. Staff follow children's lead well and children actively include them in their experiences. For instance, children spend a long period of time carefully wrapping paper around a staff member's finger, talking about how it concertinas together. Staff make good use of these interactions to praise children's efforts and help build a strong sense of self-esteem and confidence in their abilities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are very welcoming and caring and get to know children well. Children form strong bonds with staff and confidently ask for help if needed. Children develop positive social skills and enjoy sharing their play together. They make good friendships and show consideration for others. For example, children of all ages happily play football together or explore dens and material. They independently share their resources and know to pass on the controller once they have had their turn on the computer console. Staff are strong role models and gently remind children of their high expectations. Children show respect and consideration for others and newer children settle very quickly due to this positive and nurturing atmosphere. Children enjoy continuous opportunities for outdoor play and benefit from a good range of physical-play opportunities. For example, they access the school playground when they wish and take part in games, such as football,

basketball and group running games. Children are confident, secure and well-rounded individuals.
