Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have completed training on child protection and wider safeguarding issues. They have a good understanding of the procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child in their care. The management team supports staff performance well through ongoing regular supervision, training and appraisals. Staff have regular opportunities to discuss their professional development and plan ways to develop their skills. They conduct checks of the hall and outside area children access, prior to children attending. This helps to minimise hazards, so children can play safely. Children are always well supervised. Key workers collect children from their classroom and escort them to the club. The management team provides a range of workshops for parents. For example, there are workshops on internet safety and healthy nutrition. As a result, parents are well informed about keeping their children healthy and safe at home.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

There is a robust vetting and induction system in place. This ensures that all staff are suitable for their roles.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children well. They have a dedicated approach to providing a wide range of varied and imaginative play experiences, which children enjoy. For example, children delight in using metal ice-cream scoops to scoop pastel-coloured play dough into ice- cream cones. They laugh as they make them bigger than their friends' ice creams and then use sprinkles to decorate them. They talk about what their favourite flavours of ice creams are, and about going to the beach to have an ice cream. Children are developing a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe and healthy. For example, staff talk to children about why it is important to wear sun screen when the weather is hot and they prompt them to have a drink of water. Children listen and respond to instructions well. For example, they follow the recipe and carefully measure out ingredients for their pancakes. They then patiently watch as staff demonstrate the safe

way to hold the pan when cooking the pancakes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff strive to give children a real sense of ownership of their club. For example, they provide notice boards with photographs of children participating in activities. Children are able to be active or relax at the end of the school day. Older children have a 'chill-out area' for when they want some time to relax with their friends. There is a comfortable area which is well stocked with books, for when younger children want to relax. Children behave very well. They are kind to each other and take turns in activities. For example, they take turns in swinging across the monkey bars, showing delight when they get all the way across. Staff praise and encourage children in their efforts and offer a 'high five' when a child has gone across the monkey bars backwards. Children are eager to show off their accomplishments. They confidently show their batting skills and talk excitedly about watching the Cricket World Cup. Staff engage in activities with children and use

chalks to mark out the 'noughts and crosses' grid on the playground. Children eagerly take turns with staff and create their own rules so they can win a game.
