n Staff have a clear understanding of safeguarding and child protection. All staff receive regular safeguarding training, and robust policies and procedures are in place to ensure everyone is aware of their responsibilities to keep children safe and secure. n Staff get to know individual children's needs and their personalities extremely well, including children who only attend occasionally. Children are enthusiastic and happily engage in a range of age-appropriate activities at the club. They are confident and are able to make independent choices in their play. n Staff have good links with the school that children attend and where the club is based. This helps them to provide emotional support and continuity in children's care and development. n Risk assessments are robust and effective. The site manager and staff ensure the environment is safe and free from hazards. Effective professional relationships between

the company, staff and the school have meant recent floods to the club's main premises have not impacted on the quality of care children receive. Children have the use of alternative, equally safe and secure premises within the school grounds. n Self-evaluation systems are in place. However, they are not yet being used most effectively to assess the impact of changes to practice and children's development. n Although staff provide positive messages and discuss with the children about healthy eating during snack and mealtimes, some routines do not always take into account the individual needs of all the children.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff put children's safety and welfare at the forefront of everything they do at the club. For example, when children move from one area of the school building to another, staff ensure that children are accompanied at all times. The manager ensures that all staff are aware of, and follow, the setting's safeguarding policies and procedures, such as the safe use of mobile phones when present at the setting. Staff recognise the possible signs that a child might be at risk of harm and understand the local procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child in their care. The company establishes good recruitment practices and routines for monitoring staff practice. Staff supervision is also well established and the company supports regular training and ongoing professional development effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff mainly have sports-based training, yet they skilfully plan a range of interesting activities to keep children of all ages happy and engaged. Staff are good at engaging and supporting the children within their chosen activities. They sit and play alongside children for extended periods of time. For example, children became engrossed as they tried to figure out, by asking lots of questions, if the cartoon on their headband was an animal, food or an object. This developed children's social, emotional and communication skills well. Staff plan creative activities effectively that teach children about equality and diversity. For instance, using paper plates and a range of art materials, children enjoyed designing flags and footballs linked to the women's world cup football championships. Children talked expressively to each other and visitors about what they had drawn and why. Children's mathematical development is well supported, as evidenced when

younger children enthusiastically counted and compared the size of the tower they built with construction blocks. Children use their imaginations equally well when they pretend to make small buildings, castles and homes with colourful wooden blocks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are positive role models. They consistently remind children of their behavioural expectations when at the club and praise their good efforts. As a result, children are well behaved and polite. Older children show care and concern for their younger peers and share resources fairly, without the constant need for adult direction. Staff show a keen interest in the children's school day and encourage them to share information about how their day went. Staff help the children to learn about healthy lifestyles. They provide the children with healthy food for snacks and remind them to drink lots of water throughout the session. Children take part in a variety of outdoor activities, and get lots of fresh air. They develop good physical skills, for example, as they play team games such as tag, and soft ball games indoors and outdoors. In this way, children also learn good team- building, negotiating and turn-taking skills.
