This provision is good

 The club is a fully inclusive environment and welcoming for all children who play and learn together very well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.  Staff skilfully observe children to gather useful information about their play preferences and interests and use this information to plan future activities and experiences. As a result, the activities on offer motivate and stimulate children.  Staff build good relationships with children. As a result, they get to know them well and help children feel safe and secure which supports children's emotional well-being.  Staff are good role models for children. They work consistently to implement club rules in a positive manner. As a result, children have good social skills, make friends easily and behaviour is good.  Well-established supervision and professional development opportunities for staff mean that they receive regular feedback about the quality of their interactions and overall

who attend. This is good

Staff understand how young children learn through play and how to help them develop. They plan and tailor the environment to provide fun activities for them. This means that children are able to find things to do that interest them and meet their needs. As a result, children are continually engaged in their play. Overall, the planning of activities is successful. The indoor and outside learning environments are stimulating, with a broad range of activities for children to explore and places for children to relax. Staff engage children in team sports games and teach them the rules and how to take turns. They facilitate the game well and effectively meet the needs of the different age groups playing.

good

Staff support children to form good relationships with each other, resulting in children who are happy and settled. Staff give children regular praise, which helps children to develop their self-esteem. Children feel a sense of belonging and their achievements are celebrated. For example, children are encouraged to write their name on their work to display what they have done to others. Children understand good hygiene routines and wash their hands at appropriate times during the session. They help to prepare their own sandwiches, spreading bread and cutting up vegetables as they try a range of healthy fillings. They enjoy daily exercise and fresh air in the playground and school field. This supports children to learn about healthy lifestyles and to develop their independence.

p.3

provision is good

There are robust procedures for recruitment and vetting to check that staff and committee members are suitable. Staff know what to do if they have concerns about a child's welfare and children are safeguarded well. Staff who are qualified in first aid are deployed effectively so that they are on hand to provide appropriate treatment in the event of an accident or incident. The staff team communicate and work together well. Staff are enthusiastic in their play as they interact with children. This creates a happy atmosphere. The manager frequently holds meetings with staff and colleagues from the sister club to share good practice. Consequently, support for staff is good. The staff team contribute to the self-evaluation process. Ongoing improvement plans identify strengths and weaknesses. As a result, the club constantly improves to benefit children.
