This provision is good

n The provider has worked hard to meet the actions and recommendations from the last inspection.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Management and practitioners demonstrate a good knowledge of the possible signs and symptoms of abuse. They know how to make a child protection referral should they have any concerns about the care or welfare of a child. Practitioners know the procedures to follow in the event of an allegation made against any adults. Practitioners have implemented changes to the organisation of teatimes to develop children's independence further. Children now self-serve and enjoy making their own sandwiches from a range of fillings on offer. Practitioners are skilled in managing children's behaviour. Therefore, children are confident, know how to behave and know what is expected of them.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Practitioners support children in their play and learning. They respond to children's emerging interests well. For example, when children expressed an interest in photographs, practitioners provided them with a camera. This resulted in children taking photographs of the environment, with discussions taking place on reflections and shadows. This has a positive impact on children's learning. Children know how to keep themselves safe. They share the importance of not taking photographs of each other. The practitioners form good relationships with the host school. The school provides the club with weekly information on what children are learning about. The practitioners then focus their planning around this. For example, recently children have been finding out more about pirates. The club extended this by providing children with pirate hats and pirate colouring to allow this learning to continue.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and confident in this welcoming after-school club. They show a great interest in how to keep themselves healthy and are developing a good understanding of portion control. For example, at teatime children know to choose healthy options such as fruit but can only eat the occasional biscuit. Children enjoy taking part in more active physical play after a busy day at school. For example, they enjoy the use of the outdoor tennis court. Together they discuss the rules of the game and who will do what when playing games. Older children show empathy towards younger children when they invite them to join in with their games. Children behave well, demonstrate good manners and show respect to their friends and adults.
