This provision is good

 Children have fun and they enjoy themselves at the club. They play well together and make friendships across the different age groups. Older children demonstrate caring attitudes towards the younger children and are positive role models.  Staff respond to children's ideas and opinions. They encourage children to make ongoing contributions to the planning of activities. Children are eager to join in with a range of learning experiences and are motivated to follow their own interests.  Staff provide children with a good level of encouragement as children learn to take responsibility for themselves and their belongings, in ways that are age appropriate.  Partnerships with parents are good.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The robust recruitment and supervision procedures ensure that all staff have good knowledge and understanding of how to protect children in their care. Daily checks of the premises are carried out and the staff are vigilant about security. The majority of staff hold relevant childcare qualifications so know how to promote children's care and enjoyment. Staff's individual training needs are identified. Staff demonstrate how they reflect on the training they receive and how it has a positive influence on their practice. The manager shows the drive and commitment that are needed in order to make sustainable changes and developments to the services that are offered. Staff work well together. They constantly evaluate different aspects of the club, informally and formally. Parents and children are provided with a variety of effective opportunities to contribute feedback and suggestions.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good range of relevant qualifications and experience. They understand how the activities they provide allow children to follow their own interests and develop further the skills they gain from school. For example, staff encourage children to use their developing information, communication and technology skills to find different writing styles to add to the graffiti wall. Staff are flexible in their approach to planning. They listen carefully to children and offer suggestions about how children can extend their learning. For instance, children show an interest in experimenting with the different painting styles of a particular artist. They are supported to access a variety of resources and receive encouragement and ample opportunity to practise and persevere to create different effects on their paper. Children's development is monitored well and key persons ensure any gaps in children's learning are quickly identified and shared with their school teachers.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff also gain information about children who speak English as an additional language, disabled children and those with special educational needs. This helps to ensure they get the support they need.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have successfully created a very caring and secure environment where all children are warmly welcomed and feel well supported. Staff listen and talk with children about their day at school and ask them about what they would like to do in the club. They provide children with opportunities to rest and relax or to be more active, such as when children practise their dance routines. Children have access to appealing and well- organised resources which support different areas of their learning. Children's behaviour is good. Staff remind children of behavioural expectations and praise their good efforts. Children are encouraged to be independent during self-care routines, such as handwashing. Children's self-esteem is supported as staff give them good opportunities to share their achievements. Children are provided with an environment where they learn about, and begin to respect, the differing needs and opinions of others in the club and in
