Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have thorough training in child protection. They demonstrate a good understanding of the possible signs of abuse. The management team ensures staff have a suitable knowledge of the local area safeguarding procedures. Staff are vigilant and supervise children well as they play. They carry out daily checks of the premises and discuss possible risks with children. The management team carries out detailed checks on staff to establish their suitability to work with children. Staff have good support from management through regular supervision meetings. They know and understand the club's policies and procedures, which helps to promote children's safety and well-being. Children and parents have regular opportunities to express their opinions and contribute to the club's self- evaluation process.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather detailed information from parents about children's likes and dislikes before the club starts. This gives them a good starting point to plan activities and experiences that reflect children's interests. Children clearly enjoy attending and say they have fun and make friends. They use skills they have developed in school, for example, as they write out stories and draw pictures. Children have a keen interest in creative activities. For example, they spend time designing and making masks. Staff understand the differing needs of children. They provide quiet corners where children can relax away from other children's noisier games. Here they can relax, look at books, or make complex models with bricks. Staff engage children in lively games, such as dancing and moving together to music. Group games, such as parachute play, help children to learn about the benefits of working together. Younger children make a record of their activities

to celebrate their time at the club, which comprises a collection of their artwork, photographs and staff observations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children to build relationships with other children in the club. They take time to get to know children and encourage them to play together. Children confidently access resources and make independent decisions about their activities. They play together well and demonstrate a good understanding of how to share and take turns with resources, such as popular face-painting sets. Children have timely reminders about good hygiene practice. They have drinking water available to help them stay healthy and hydrated in warm weather. Staff actively promote children's health and well-being. For example, they encourage children to engage in energetic physical activities, such as ball games and treasure hunts. Staff meticulously record any accidents to children and collect detailed information from parents about allergies or other dietary needs.
