p.1

The provision meets requirements

 Leaders, managers and staff all understand their responsibilities in relation to the Early Years Foundation Stage. A range of policies, procedures and documentation are in place to safeguard children. For example, staff make use of safety checks and risk assessments to ensure the environment is safe for children to play.  The key person makes use of home visits to build up relationships with new children and parents. Staff complete 'All about me' records so that they get to know children, and find out about the activities they enjoy when settling them at the club.  Staff observe young children's play and use the information to assess their progress across all areas of learning. They identify children's next steps in learning and plan activities to promote their progress. This includes sharing information with school and parents to promote continuity when planning for children's individual needs.

The provision meets requirements

 Staff understand how to promote children's well-being and health. They provide children with a choice of healthy snacks and regular opportunities to be active and to play in the fresh air.  Staff access safeguarding training to ensure they have knowledge of child protection issues and the procedures for reporting concerns. Recruitment, vetting and induction procedures ensure staff working with children are suitable to do so, and that they understand their role in promoting children's welfare.  Leaders and managers make use of supervisions, appraisals and training to support staff development. As a result, the majority of the staff hold recognised early years or play work qualifications. Leaders and managers also make use of self-evaluation to further explore ways to improve children's learning experiences.  Leaders, managers and staff have successfully addressed recommendations set at the last inspection. This has resulted in staff ensuring children have access to a wide range

of resources, including activities that promote their mathematical development.  Older children are busy and engaged in their learning, such as designing a vehicle they can use outdoors. Children behave well and they talk about how they need to be kind to their friends. They understand about rules and boundaries, which includes discussing the level of risk associated with some equipment. As a result, they know that an adult needs to present for any 'red' risks. There were no children present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states

whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
