This provision is good

n The manager and staff prioritise children's safety and welfare. They deploy themselves effectively to ensure children are always supervised and to meet their individual care needs. n Children's behaviour is good. They understand and follow the club's rules well, and play happily in a safe and enabling environment. n Staff provide a range of good-quality experiences which reflect children's different interests, ages and abilities. As a result, all children are highly engaged and focused in various activities. They enjoy playing team sports, such as netball and football, and use their imaginative skills well to design models and to draw. n Staff implement an effective key-person system. They work closely with the host school and parents to exchange information about individual children. For instance, they share details relating to a child's pre-existing injury, accident or medication with parents upon

collection. n Staff attend weekly team meetings where they share good practice ideas. However, the programme for professional development is not embedded fully to help target individual training needs and address any specific gaps in staff knowledge. n Although staff communicate regularly with parents about their children's daily experiences at the club, there are fewer opportunities for parents to take an active role in sharing their views to help improve the quality of the provision.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The designated lead person for safeguarding ensures staff have a good understanding of their role to keep children safe from harm. For example, all staff attend yearly in-house training to refresh their safeguarding knowledge. Staff are familiar with the main signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect, including the procedures for reporting any welfare concerns about a child. They remain vigilant at all times, especially as children move from the main hall to access the sports facilities outdoors. The manager undertakes daily checks to identify and remove any hazards. He records children's daily attendance accurately upon arrival and at collection times. Staff recruitment and induction procedures are effective. Managers undertake thorough vetting checks on all staff prior to employment, such as checking for any gaps in their work history, to ensure they are suitable for the role. Staff receive regular feedback from

their line manager and all staff across the organisation have an opportunity for regular meetings, where they receive support and share ideas. Overall, management ensures a positive culture of safeguarding is embedded in the everyday life of the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a good range of play experiences and children are confident to move around and engage in activities. For example, they focus well as they eagerly design pom-poms and create paper models. Staff observe children as they play and intervene to ask thought-provoking questions. This helps children to think about their design ideas. Staff have high expectations of what children can achieve. For example, they encourage older children to referee their own game of football, which they manage very well. Younger children listen to instructions well and support one another, such as when helping others to understand the rules of playing netball. Parents are highly complimentary about their children's experiences at the club. For example, they comment how the 'staff go above and beyond to make the experience positive' and 'provide a nurturing, stimulating and fun environment' for their children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff at the club are very respectful towards children. They treat all children as individuals and value their comments. Children are confident and emotionally secure in this friendly club. They settle in quickly upon arrival and listen carefully for their name during group registration. Older children are extremely caring towards the younger ones, such as offering comforting words if they see a child is upset. Staff are good role models. They are kind and gentle in their approach and manage any minor disputes between children effectively. Furthermore, they provide clear explanations to help children understand how their behaviour may affect others. Staff promote healthy eating and offer nutritional snacks, such as apples, oranges and crackers. They observe children closely to ensure their safety at all times. For example, staff respond quickly when they recognise some younger children are beginning to show signs of exhaustion due to the

heat and send them indoors for a rest. Staff ensure all children have regular breaks to rest in the shade and drink regularly to stay hydrated, particularly when playing physically intense games, such as netball and football.
