This provision is good

n The manager and staff create a positive environment for children. Children have time to unwind and interact with their friends after the rigour of the school day, which contributes to the development of their social skills. They are confident and happy at the club. n Staff support children's development effectively through enjoyable activities. They engage children in plenty of conversations and enthusiastically join in with their play. n Staff are good role models. They give clear guidance about expected behaviour. Children's behaviour is very good. They develop secure friendships and display good levels of self-confidence and self-motivation. Children are polite, sociable and learn to share and take turns. n Partnership working with the host school is well established. Staff work closely with teachers to share a wealth of information. This helps to ensure some continuity between children's care and learning at school and at the club.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff understand their roles and responsibilities in helping to keep children safe. They have a secure understanding of the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. The group manager ensures that effective procedures are in place for the recruitment and induction of staff to ensure they are suitable to work with children. In addition, she carries out ongoing suitability checks for staff and supports them well during supervision and appraisal meetings. The manager successfully implements risk assessments. For example, she ensures that staff follow well-organised procedures as they collect children from the host school and ensure that children are safe at all times. The manager uses self-evaluation and reflective practice well to identify areas for improvement. For instance, she has implemented changes to the start of the session to ensure children are

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children arrive excitedly at the welcoming and well-resourced club. They are happy to see staff and eager to share stories with them about what they have done at school throughout the day. Staff provide children with a varied and stimulating environment where they make independent choices in their play. Staff use their knowledge of children's interests and discussions with children to help them to plan experiences to support children's skills. For instance, younger children show a keen interest in craft and older children enjoy construction toys, so staff provide a range of items for children to build and create with. Staff support children to describe their processes during craft activities and children enthusiastically share their creations. For example, children proudly show the whole group a model of the Empire State building they excitedly built together to celebrate American Independence Day. This helps to build on their already

good social, language and communication skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote healthy lifestyles. They encourage children to follow good hygiene routines and eat a range of healthy and nutritious snacks. Snack time is a sociable occasion where children talk about their day and home events confidently. The outdoor space is open throughout the session, and children clearly enjoy being outdoors in the fresh air. For instance, younger children run around and play games with gymnastic ribbons and tennis bats, which contributes to their overall physical well-being effectively. Staff support children to learn how to keep themselves safe. Children demonstrate a mature understanding of the rules. For example, older children understand that they must clear away the toys they have played with to minimise trip hazards. Children gain an understanding of a variety of faiths and cultures though activities, artwork and discussions.
