role models and have a friendly and caring approach to support children's well-being. Children play happily and respect each other, for example, by sharing and taking turns in their play and daily routines. Children's behaviour is very good. n Staff and management work well together to evaluate the effectiveness of the club. They hold regular meetings and discussions to plan for the club's future. The manager uses feedback from children, parents, staff and school staff to identify changes and improvements that benefit all children who attend the club. n At times, staff miss opportunities to support children's growing independence. They sometimes complete practical tasks that children can manage for themselves. n Occasionally, children are not given clear messages about healthy food options. Staff do not always explain to children why healthy food is important and good for their health as part of a healthy lifestyle.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff clearly understand the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Staff have completed safeguarding training recently, which has further raised their awareness of current legislation and their understanding of the wider issues of safeguarding. Staff conduct daily checks of the premises and ensure all hazards are removed. This means children play in a safe environment. The manager and the provider complete all required checks when recruiting new staff to make sure they are suitable to work with children. The manager supports staff's professional development effectively. For example, she carries out inductions, supervisions and appraisals to help ensure ongoing practice is good and identify any training needs. Staff have a very close relationship with the school staff. For example, they share relevant information such as children's development needs with

each other. This helps children to receive consistent care

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified. They provide a wide range of activities for the children to enjoy and join in with their play with energy and enthusiasm. Staff's interactions with children are of a high quality. They support children's communication skills effectively. Staff hold conversations with children about their experiences. For example, they talk to the children about the minibeasts they are learning about at school and their recent holiday. Staff skilfully extend this conversation about places the children have visited, such as the London museum. Staff monitor children from a distance and know when to support the youngest children so they integrate well with other children. Children are highly motivated and engaged in their play because the activities provide them with challenge. Staff support all children to improve their knowledge and skills. For example, they teach children how to use the scissors successfully as they make envelopes for their letters.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a relaxing environment after a long day at school. Children arrive happy and settle well. Staff offer regular and meaningful praise to children, which helps them to feel good about themselves. This helps to build children's confidence and self-esteem. Staff encourage children to follow good hygiene procedures and provide daily opportunities for them to be physically active. For instance, children access the secure playground area to take part in activities such as ball games. This supports children to gain fresh air and exercise while at the club. Children are keen learners and eager to share their work. For instance, when they complete their artwork, they are proud to show other staff, the children and their parents. Staff help the children keep themselves safe. For example, they remind them to use the knife carefully when spreading their butter at snack time and to watch they do not slip when going outside because of the
