p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know how to identify any possible concerns that may affect a child's welfare and how to report these to the relevant agencies. Staff carry out regular, thorough risk assessments to ensure children are cared for in a safe, secure environment. The provider monitors staff practice and implements supervision sessions; staff are encouraged to complete further training. The provider drives improvement and evaluates staff practice. She has met the recommendations from the previous inspection. For example, fire drills are now carried out more regularly and this helps children learn about their personal safety. Staff promote children's understanding of diversity well. For example, children learn about differences in other cultures and explore a range of resources which positively promote the wider world.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with a wide range of play experiences to meet their individual needs. For example, children enjoy making Christmas cards, carefully and skilfully using different materials. They share and take turns as they use the scissors, glue and pens. Children build friendships and their personal, emotional and social skills are developing well. Staff encourage children to develop their handwriting skills. Children are eager to show what they have written inside their cards. They discuss who the important adults in their lives are, and to whom they are sending the cards. Children use their mathematical skills and language well. For example, they count the sequins and discuss the amount they have used. Staff skilfully interact with children, offering advice and praising them as they play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn about the expectations for good behaviour. For example, staff remind children to discuss the safety rules they must follow to get to the bathroom. Children behave well, listen to staff and follow the club's rules. Children learn how to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Staff encourage children to help prepare snacks. Children attend to their personal needs; they are confident and independent. Children settle easily and enjoy their play; their individual needs are effectively met by staff who know them well.
