Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager and staff work well together. They continuously reflect on and evaluate the quality of activities and care that they provide for children. The manager and staff make ongoing improvements to the club that benefit children. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff demonstrate a secure understanding of their responsibilities to keep children safe. For example, all staff attend regular safeguarding training and understand the process to follow should they have concerns about a child in their care. Staff carry out a thorough risk assessment to protect children from harm. They are deployed well when supervising children and are vigilant. Children are supported to take acceptable risks. For example, they run, jump and cooperate during physical games. Parents praise the club and comment on how staff ensure that their children are safe, happy and well cared for.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children love to attend the club and show great enthusiasm in all that they do. They regularly use their creative skills as they access the range of collage materials, glue, paints and pens. Staff chat to children as they create their artwork, testing their knowledge about colour, shape and size. During sewing activities, children discuss how to manipulate the needle and how to turn corners. Children enjoy and understand technology. They show and explain to staff how the games console works and how to use the controller. Children of all ages and abilities work well together as they play games and engage in varied role play. Throughout the session, children take part in conversations with the staff, using and developing their communication skills effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff effectively promote children's well-being. Settling-in procedures help children to feel relaxed and content from the start. For example, staff allocate new starters with a key person and older children act as mentors. They initiate conversations with the children as they sit next to them while they play. Staff listen to children with interest and good questioning encourages them to talk about their hobbies and interests at home. They are fully aware of children's allergies and dietary requirements. Staff provide a variety of healthy and nutritious snacks. Children develop good levels of independence skills. For example, they take responsibility for washing their own plates and cups after snack time. Children follow rules and boundaries well and are familiar with the daily routines. Staff provide children with praise for their achievements and help them feel valued and respected.
