who attend. This is good

Staff demonstrate a good understanding of the learning and development requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. This means that staff plan meaningful learning experiences that captivate the interests of all children. Furthermore, staff support children in their play and learning and build on children's previous experiences. For example, staff join in during arts and crafts sessions and take an interest in their learning. Staff plan a good balance of adult-led and child-initiated play experiences. This helps children learn to be part of a group, but also to make decisions for themselves. In addition, staff make good use of observations to help them gain an accurate understanding of children's individual needs. Overall, staff use this information well to support children's interests and to plan effectively for their next steps in learning.

good

Children enjoy attending this welcoming club. This is because staff are attentive to children's individual needs and this helps them to develop a strong sense of belonging. Staff focus on developing children's independence skills, which suitably prepares children for their next stage in learning and for school. For example, children routinely help staff prepare for mealtimes and help tidy up afterwards. Staff promote healthy eating by providing children with nutritious foods during tea time. In addition, children show an awareness of how to keep fit and healthy. For example, they thoroughly enjoy their time outdoors as they energetically take part in team games and challenge their physical skills. Staff work well as a team and regularly liaise with each other to meet individual needs. They follow consistent routines to collect children from local schools. This ensures that there is daily communication between familiar staff and school teachers.

The well-qualified and experienced manager has a good understanding of the safeguarding and welfare requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. As a result, staff demonstrate a clear understanding of how to keep children safe. In addition, staff receive regular training in safeguarding, food hygiene and health and safety. The manager has implemented a robust recruitment system. This means that suitable staff are selected and trained. The manager reviews the quality of the setting to drive improvement. Through staff appraisal meetings and supervision, she effectively identifies the training needs of staff. Therefore, staff continue to develop their knowledge and expertise, which has a positive outcome for all children. Staff risk assess the premises daily to ensure that the learning environment is free from hazards. Staff also encourage children's awareness of safety when indoors, by ensuring that they use resources appropriately at all times.
