This provision is good

 Children play well together and there are high expectations of their conduct, so behaviour is excellent. Children check any risks for themselves and are fully aware of how to play and use equipment safely.  Children are secure and enjoy the club. Parents are pleased with all that the club provides and say that they appreciate the activities provided and the regular communication.  There are high quality relationships throughout the staff team and with all the children. Staff know children well and are excellent role models for them.  Well-planned activities provide a range of creative and cooperative experiences. Children's interests are reflected and requests for activities are used well.  Leaders make sure that they meet all statutory requirements effectively, and seek the views of parents and children to make improvements to the club.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The club leader is enthusiastic and has a good team of staff that works extremely well together. They know exactly who to contact if they have any concerns about children. Procedures and staff vigilance make sure children are safe when arriving and leaving the club. Recruitment processes work effectively and staff have undergone the necessary checks, training and induction processes. Safeguarding is effective. Staff update their training and skills regularly and have ambition to continually improve. They respond well to suggestions and requests from children and parents. The leader checks the work of the staff so that they always do their best. The leader has support from the wider organisation's staff to make sure that the club runs well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff respond well to children's requests for equipment and games. They organise cooperative games that enable children to work together. Overall, there is a good range of resources that are always available and from which the children choose. These promote children's physical and social development well. For example, children built a complex track for vehicles and played cooperatively and imaginatively with this for some time. Staff know children well, observing their skills and development effectively so that they can support their progress. Staff plan activities that enable children to use a wide range of creative skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children learn to cooperate extremely well. There is strong mutual respect between the children. They learn to be tolerant; they treat each other equally and value each other's differences. Children make a strong contribution to the smooth running of the club. Children learn about healthy lifestyles effectively. They understand when and how to wash their hands, and how to pursue activities safely. Staff look after the children well.
