Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The managers and staff team are hardworking and committed to their roles. They have high expectations for all children. They continually strive to make improvements to ensure children benefit from good-quality learning experiences. Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand their role and responsibilities in protecting children. They regularly update their safeguarding training to refresh and develop their knowledge. They have a good understanding of how to recognise signs that a child may be at risk of harm. This includes the signs that a child may be at risk from extreme views or ideas. Managers implement good arrangements for recruitment, induction and vetting procedures to ensure staff suitability. They effectively support new staff members to understand the expectations of their role. Managers use supervision well to coach and monitor staff. Staff keep up to date with their professional development. For example, they access

training and share best practice with each other.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and experienced. They carefully plan varied and challenging activities that engage children well in their learning. For example, children show good levels of concentration and perseverance as they keenly roll balls down guttering. Staff work closely with the host school to provide continuity in teaching for children. For example, they share resources to enhance and complement children's experiences. Staff provide opportunities to equip children with new skills, such as learning how to knit. They playfully engage with children, using opportunities well to extend their understanding of new concepts and the wider world. For example, while playing tennis, staff talk to children about the different countries that tournament players come from. Staff teach children the importance of being kind and respectful. This means all children show respect towards each other and play well together. Older children support their

younger peers in activities. They know how to share resources and take turns. For instance, children know their time slot for use on electronic devices.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children flourish in this vigorous club. Children engage with energy, enthusiasm and pleasure. Staff have developed a welcoming and inclusive environment where children can play or relax after school. Staff get to know the children well and give the highest priority to promoting their safety and well-being. Children move sensibly around the premises and are supported well through staff's caring, close supervision. Staff have embedded excellent routines that children follow exceptionally well. For example, snack time is very well organised and children ably make choices about what they would like to eat. Children are keen to carry out tasks, such as taking responsibility for hanging up their belongings when they arrive. Staff are good role models and actively join in with children's play indoors and outdoors. Children's physical development is especially well supported. Children spend long periods of time playing outdoors. They show excellent

co-ordination as they competently play with bats and balls. Younger children giggle with delight as they enjoy filling watering cans in the water. All children confidently manage their self-care. They recognise when to take breaks from energetic games and independently access water to cool themselves down.
