needs of children. There are robust systems in place to ensure there is a good flow of information between the club, school staff and parents. This shared approach to children's development ensures they receive continuity of care and their learning is extended. n The management team is committed to developing the club. There is a strong commitment to improve the club further through setting ambitious targets and action plans. Parents, teachers and children speak very positively about the club. n Sometimes, staff do not consistently help children to develop a deeper understanding of health and safety practices within the club's environment. n The monitoring and coaching of staff are not linked precisely enough to their individual learning needs to help raise key areas of practice to a higher level.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The well-qualified manager and the provider work well together to ensure the smooth running of the club. The staff team is well organised and prepared ahead of children's arrival after school. Recruitment procedures are thorough to ensure staff are suitable. Staff receive annual appraisals and regular supervision meetings. The management team also encourages staff to attend regular training and to develop professionally. Overall, this works well. For example, staff develop their understanding of how to support children's interests through play. Staff supervise children well at all times and deploy themselves effectively to ensure children are always kept safe. The manager carries out daily risk assessments on the classroom that is used by the club and the outdoor areas. Staff are vigilant about children's safety. They ensure no one can leave or enter the premises and the outdoor area unannounced. Staff obtain the views of parents, which

Staff regularly observe the children and get to know their interests and achievements well. They encourage children to share and discuss experiences from home and school.

marbles for the marble run and recognise numbers in card games. They enjoy friendly competitions, such as who has the most cards.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are relaxed and develop a positive sense of themselves, displaying high levels of self-esteem. Staff give positive praise to children and recognise their achievements. Children seek staff out to involve them in their play or go to them for comfort and reassurance if needed. The older children show a real sense of responsibility and are eager to support the younger children. Children show their ability to manage their own personal hygiene, demonstrating their independence. They enjoy a varied snack when they come in from school. Mealtimes are social occasions where children form friendships and share their experiences with others. Staff encourage children to make healthy choices. Children develop strong social skills as they organise events and invite parents and teachers. Staff arrange outings and off-site experiences. Activities such as these help children develop an understanding of the world in which they live.
