who attend. This is good

Staff provide a variety of interesting activities and resources to support children's play, including plenty of art and craft materials. Children are involved in the planning process and, as a result, activities reflect their interests and they are keen to join in. The quality of teaching is good. Staff ensure there are a variety of stimulating resources, inside and outside ready for children as they arrive. Children enjoy each other's company and play well together. For example, children engage in role play, as they dress up in costumes and imagine they are superheroes, pretending to rescue people. Therefore, children show good imaginative skills and are able to express their ideas confidently. Children concentrate well on their chosen task, showing good skills for their future learning. They are proud to show each other their finished products, which builds their self-esteem. Parents comment that children particularly enjoy the planned outings the club offers,

giving their children exciting opportunities and experiences while parents are at work.

p.3

good

Children are settled and confident in the staff's care. Staff seek information from parents when children first attend that enables them to understand and meet children's individual needs. Children are encouraged to meet their own care needs, such as toileting and hand washing, and serving themselves at breakfast time. This helps children develop their independence and confidence in caring for themselves. Staff give clear directions and help children gain independence in practical skills, such as locating their own equipment when they prepare for outdoor play. They encourage children to help their friends and the younger children. This teaches them to behave well, be confident and to work effectively as part of a group, and prepares them well for their future. Staff help children gain a good understanding of keeping themselves safe. This includes teaching them safe routines for outdoor play, and using resources and equipment safely.

p.3

provision is good

Management and staff have a good knowledge of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Staff have attended training and demonstrate a thorough understanding of child protection procedures to safeguard children's welfare. Management follow appropriate, safe recruitment and induction processes to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. Staff attend regular training and team meetings to support their ongoing skills and practice. Staff complete risk assessments for all aspects of the club, which helps them keep children safe and secure. Management considers comments from children, parents and staff to effectively monitor the quality of the provision and children's progress. This is used to identify and make changes in order to maintain continuous improvements.
