This provision is good

 Managers review the provision effectively. They involve staff, parents and children, and seek their views to help drive improvement.  Staff offer children a variety of play activities to support their interests and needs. Children enthusiastically choose and initiate their own play with their chosen friends; this helps to promote their confidence and emotional well-being.  Staff work well as a team, creating a secure and safe environment for the children. Children are kind to each other, share and take turns during play.  Staff are good role models and provide children with clear guidance. Children are happy, confident and have good relationships with staff.  Staff have good relationships with parents and the schools that children attend. They share a range of information to ensure continuity of care and learning for children. This helps to promote children's health and well-being.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good awareness of the correct procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child. They implement robust policies and procedures to support children's good health, safety and well-being. This includes completing daily checks and risk assessments to help keep children safe from harm. The staff work well together to meet the needs of all children who attend. Staff complete research, for example, to improve their already good practice, and they share their new knowledge at staff meetings. The manager regularly reviews staff skills and identifies further support to help them develop their skills and practice further. Staff ask children what they would like to do, to help them to plan the day flexibly around children's interests.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff monitor children's achievements and interests to help ensure that resources and experiences are relevant to children's changing interests at home and at school. Staff organise activities so that children achieve their aims, which boosts their self-esteem. They engage children in conversation and ask children lots of questions, helping to extend children's language and thinking skills. Children talk confidently about their day and chat to visitors and other children. Younger and older school aged children interact well while they play with small world figures and small construction toys. Children continue to develop their skills in preparation for the next stage in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know children well and provide a welcoming environment. Children are happy to attend and to engage in activities and, overall, they have opportunities to make decisions about what they do at the club. For example, they enjoy a variety of games and have warm, friendly relationships with staff and each other. Staff are actively involved in children's play. They praise their achievements and efforts, which raises children's confidence and self-esteem. Children receive successful support to increase their skills and have lots of fun. Staff promote children's good health. For example, children enjoy healthy food and learn about good hygiene practices and staying safe.
