p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Safe recruitment practices help to ensure that all staff working with children are suitable for the role. Staff have a good understanding of safeguarding procedures and know how to protect children in their care. They undertake regular risk assessments on all areas of the setting, which help them to keep children safe and secure. The manager makes regular supervision of staff and supports them well. This helps to highlight strengths and to identify areas for development. Staff attend courses to further widen their skills. The manager and staff seek the views and comments of parents and children when evaluating the quality of the provision. They use the feedback to make positive changes to their service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather relevant information from parents and school staff. They offer a range of activities and resources that provide fun and new experiences. Staff supervise children well and show them how to use resources safely. Children relate well to each other and show good levels of confidence. Younger children work as a team and build a large model. They consider their friends' ideas to help improve their imagination. Older children eagerly draw and colour their favourite pictures. They show their drawings to staff, who praise them for their artistic efforts. Children enjoy books and love to play games, for example, to make words. Children are able to share their thoughts and feelings with others.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for the children. For example, they share their behaviour procedures with parents and children so that they are clear about what is expected. They also remind children that 'sharing is caring'. Children learn to share resources fairly and to take turns. Children develop good self-help skills during snack times. They also learn about good hygiene practices. Overall, staff support children to develop their independence and respond sensitively to their needs. Children enjoy outdoor play, fresh air and exercise. They actively take part in ball games and learn to respect the rules. Through walks from the school to the club, children practise to cross roads safely.
