Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have completed safeguarding training and understand their roles and responsibilities in helping to keep children safe. They know the procedures to follow if they have concerns regarding a child's welfare. Staff use risk assessments to provide a safe environment and minimise any potential hazards. Children are reminded about safety issues during their time at the club, for example, when they use scissors, spill drinks, handle hot food and access climbing equipment outside. Staff deploy themselves well and supervise to ensure children are safe. The manager and staff seek views from parents and children to evaluate their practice and make improvements. For example, since the last inspection opening times have been extended to help accommodate working parents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide an interesting and challenging environment where children of different ages enjoy playing and learning together. Activities are well planned, and staff interact positively with children. They support children to make their own choices and be independent. For example, children select, pour and mix paint to create their own pictures. Staff support language and communication skills effectively; they engage children in meaningful conversations and use questioning skilfully to extend their thinking. Children are proud of their work and willingly show staff their finished creations. Older and younger children develop their imagination skills as they play in the role-play area. They share and take turns as they pretend to buy food and make meals. This helps to build skills for future learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's physical development effectively. Children have access to the outdoor areas daily, which helps them to develop their physical skills. All children enjoy the school's trim trail and playing team games, such as football and basketball. Children develop good social skills as they eagerly participate and learn to follow the rules. Older children are caring and supportive towards their younger peers, including them in their chosen activities. Staff promote independence and self-help skills well. For example, children help to clean tables before food, tidy away their toys and follow routines. These include handwashing after activities and before snack times, pouring their own drinks and clearing away their plates after snack. Children cooperate well with staff and their friends. They learn to show respect to each other and use good manners.
