p.1

This provision is good

 Children clearly enjoy attending the after school club where they are looked after by enthusiastic staff who know them well. This makes children feel safe and secure.  Staff create a positive environment where children are supported in their play and the choices they make. This means children develop confidence and feel valued.  The owners and staff work well together to drive improvement. This has a positive impact on children's experiences.  Parents are very positive about the care staff provide and are kept informed about what their children do.

who attend. This is good

There is a good variety of resources and activities available for children attending the club. This means that children are engaged and occupied at all times. They have ample opportunities to play and learn independently and make choices that support and extend their development. The teaching and learning for all children is good because adults know the children well and provide activities they know will interest them. Staff take opportunities to develop and extend children's play. They provide support and encouragement as needed. However, they also allow children time and space to develop their own ideas and play both inside and outside. For example children worked together with adult support to devise a role play game. They then delighted in climbing and jumping on the play apparatus as they acted this out. Staff are enthusiastic and engage and motivate children. They demonstrate high expectations, particularly in relation to

children's behaviour. As a result, children behave exceptionally well and they make good progress in their development.

p.3

good

Staff are extremely caring and attentive towards children. They work hard to ensure that children are kept safe in their care. The club has a key person system which works well in supporting the children's needs. Children's behaviour and actions clearly show that they are very well settled at the club and confident in the environment. They play well together and demonstrate friendly and respectful relationships with adults. Older children have a positive impact on younger children as they act as excellent role models for helping them to learn to share and cooperate together. Healthy lifestyles are promoted through good hygiene practices, the provision of healthy foods and excellent opportunities for outdoor play and physical activity.

provision is good

The owners of the club have made changes following their last inspection and they continue to seek and maintain improvements. They have taken action to address all the matters raised at their previous inspection and consistently implement the safeguarding and welfare requirements to ensure that children are cared for in a safe, stimulating and welcoming environment. The provider has undertaken a comprehensive self-evaluation to ensure that they are meeting and continue to meet requirements. There are robust systems in place for the recruitment staff. Effective systems are in place for the supervision of staff. However, these could be improved by ensuring that staff training has a consistently good impact on some aspects of practice. Partnerships with parents and schools that the children attend are good and support the needs of the children being cared for. Parents particularly praise the flexibility of the club in meeting the needs of both
