n The manager and staff reflect on their practice well.

exercise and develop physical skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager and staff have worked hard to address recommendations since the previous inspection. They take on board advice and guidance from other professionals, including the school's headteacher, and attend training. This helps drive improvements forward. Staff reflect on practice and take the views of the children into account to implement positive changes. For example, they have reorganised teatime and the structure of some activities to better support the needs of the younger children. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a sound understanding of their safeguarding responsibilities. They know how to recognise signs of abuse and how to respond to any concerns about children's welfare. Staff follow well-organised procedures as they collect children from the host school and ensure that children are always safe. Staff are deployed well. They regularly check the environment to ensure that it continues to be

safe. For example, staff make sure the floor remains clear in order to avoid trip hazards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interact well with the children and support them to acquire a variety of skills. For instance, children extend their hand-to-eye coordination skills as staff teach them how to use strings to make intricate patterns and create 'scubidu' bracelets. Staff extend children's enjoyment. They ask relevant questions to support their thinking. For example, they encourage younger children to talk about what the seeds might need to help them grow and build on their answers. Staff praise children's efforts and achievements. This helps to promote their confidence and self-esteem.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children understand the behavioural expectations and are generally well behaved. Staff model the good behaviour they expect of children. Staff have warm and positive relationships with the children and, as a result, they feel secure. Staff foster children's independence. For example, children spread their own butter, help to tidy up after teatime and enjoy taking responsibility for the club. Children have an area where they can relax and spend time with their friends quietly. This helps to foster their personal and emotional well-being. The children have good opportunities to be active and develop their physical skills. They enjoy playing active games, such as 'Duck, duck, goose', in the large sports hall. Children have daily opportunities to enjoy fresh air and play in the outside area.
