The knowledgeable staff team work alongside teachers in the school and provide continuity for children, which contributes to the good progress they make. Children enjoy their time in the outdoor area. They excitedly play a game of football, shooting the balls into the goal nets. Other children show their artistic ability as they dance with ribbons. Children demonstrate their good independence as they select their own toys and equipment. Staff talk to children as they play and show an interest in what they are doing. They ask them purposeful questions to explore their ideas and understanding. Children confidently respond and are articulate communicators.

good

Children enjoy close, supportive relationships with the caring and sensitive staff, who praise children and build their self-esteem. This supports them to be confident and self- motivated. Children's good health is promoted as they are provided with healthy and nutritious meals and snacks. Staff extend children's understanding of healthy eating through specifically planned activities. Children demonstrate their understanding of the importance of good hygiene practices. They confidently explain to visitors why they must wash their hands before they eat their lunch. Well-planned projects, on topics such as road safety, support children in learning how to keep themselves safe. Overall, children demonstrate good manners and behave well because staff model and reward positive behaviour. Children help to create and display behaviour rules. This develops their sense of responsibility and consolidates their understanding of staff expectations. However, on

occasion older children become boisterous in their indoor play and staff do not respond to this quickly enough. This sometimes impacts on younger children's play.

p.3

provision is good

The manager and staff use their good knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage to provide children with a range of challenging and stimulating activities. There are effective systems in place to evaluate the club and identify areas of strength and weakness. The views of children and parents are taken into account, ensuring everyone has a voice and their thoughts are valued. The manager displays a response to regularly completed questionnaires, so that parents are clear about any improvements and changes made. The manager has addressed the action and recommendation raised at the last inspection. Documentation is now updated, and children have excellent opportunities to learn about differences, cultural diversity and the wider world. The manager follows secure recruitment procedures and staff have regular supervisions. Also, staff receive ongoing support and coaching to improve their personal effectiveness and outcomes for children.
