This provision is good

n The leadership team is consistently reviewing and improving the policies, procedures and practice at the clubs. Parents receive comprehensive information about the company ethos, their children's activities, play and achievements. n Parents said that the after-school club offers a valuable service and the holiday club attracts children from the surrounding schools. They said that their children thoroughly enjoyed attending the clubs and developing friendships with children of all ages. n The leadership team welcomes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. It liaises closely with parents, children and school staff in advance to agree how they can work together to balance the needs of all children. n Staff have excellent skills in mentoring older children. However, they are relatively new to developing practice across the early years foundation stage. Sometimes, staff do not make the most of opportunities that arise to challenge young children to higher levels

of creativity. n Staff follow clear and effective procedures for registering children at the start of each club session. However, on occasions, the noise levels in the club room are so loud that the youngest children find it difficult to engage in conversations with each other or relax. n Staff provide children with the option of a light snack on entry. This sustains the youngest children and gives them the energy to enjoy their time with friends. Staff also provide a light tea after 4.30pm. This meets the needs of those children who arrive at a later time. Parents said that collection and home times were easier because their children had eaten well.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The leadership team is working conscientiously and successfully to extend its clubs to meet the needs of younger children. It offers a wide range of activities and opportunities for children to play, learn and explore in addition to sports. The leadership team invests a considerable amount of time and expertise into the recruitment, induction and training of new staff. The majority of staff who work at the clubs also teach in the school, and they mentor junior staff. Leaders and staff have a very positive relationship with the host school and children thrive in the care of staff who know them well. Club leaders ensure that staff regularly update their training in safeguarding, welfare and first aid. They check that staff know how to identify when children may be at risk of harm and how to protect them. Safeguarding is effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Club staff include qualified teachers as well as specialist sports teachers. They plan activities to develop children's individual skills in areas such as arts, design and construction, as well as team games. Children choose to follow their own interests. For example, when children asked to play with toy cars, staff helped them design, draw and compile a race track. Children worked well together as they formulated a grand plan and then each developed their own ideas for rivers, bridges, ramps and finishing lines. Attentive staff quickly add further challenge as needed. For instance, having settled on the best design for a ramp, children then began to work out how to use it to advantage to win the race. Children have time to play, develop friendships and practise new skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children know they are in a safe place and are confident to talk with staff and ask for their help. They enjoy plenty of time playing outdoors and say they particularly enjoy using the climbing equipment. Staff supervise children attentively and help them learn to assess and manage risks safely. Children are confident, self-assured and excited as they take on further challenges. Staff are good role models. They promote respect for one another and value every child's contribution and their effort. Children receive awards for showing many different attributes, such as being a kind friend or a super sport, or for showing determination or doing something for someone else. Children take pride in their accomplishments and enjoy their time at the clubs.
