The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Staff have good relationships with the children, which leads to a friendly and happy atmosphere at the club. Children are confident and have a good sense of security.  Children follow good hygiene routines. They benefit from regular play outdoors and enjoy nutritious snacks, which helps to promote their good health.  Staff consistently liaise with parents and teachers to promote continuity of care and learning. This contributes to the good support that staff provide for children and enables them to monitor their learning needs.  Safeguarding practice is robust. All staff attend training and fully understand their responsibilities should they have a concern about a child. In addition, there are clear procedures in place to follow if an allegation is made against a staff member.  Staff receive good professional support and are enabled to access a good range of training and qualifications. This helps to develop their knowledge and skills and improve

who attend. This is good

Children's care and learning needs are well supported by staff. Staff have good knowledge of how young children learn and how to engage children through play. Younger children develop their imaginative skills, communicate and socialise well with others. They enjoy acting out the scenario of operating a shop and a bank while outside. Staff have purposeful conversations with children about their play, which extends their vocabulary and understanding of the world. Children are active and confident learners. They make independent choices about activities they wish to participate in and the resources they want to use. Staff promote children's enjoyment of books when they read them stories that they have chosen. Children listen well and develop good concentration and listening skills. Although there are books available to read, they are not well organised to ensure children can enjoy them.

p.3

good

Children are emotionally secure because they build good relationships with their key persons. Staff effectively use information gained from parents to tailor experiences that meet the individual needs of each child. This contributes to helping children to settle well. Children learn how to do things safely as they skilfully ride bicycles and use scooters. Children's natural curiosity is sparked as they explore the garden and see how the peas and flowers are growing. Staff sometimes encourage children to be independent as they pour their own drinks. However, staff do not always have high enough expectations of what children can do. This means that at times staff do not encourage children to try things for themselves.

p.3

provision is good

The manager and staff are well qualified. They use their good knowledge and understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage to provide children with a range of challenging and stimulating activities. Arrangements for the supervision of staff and professional development drive improvements and lead to consistency in the quality of staff's interactions with children. Information gained through staff attending training are cascaded to all staff maximising the positive impact on children's outcomes. Children accessing the club are consulted regarding the purchase of toys and equipment. They are involved in the planning and the evaluation of activities. The managers have addressed actions and recommendations raised at the last inspection. For example, the managers ensure the evaluation form is completed well, accurately identifies strengths, raises targets to address weaknesses and includes contributions from parents, children and staff.
