Robust recruitment and vetting procedures ensure all staff are suitable for their role. All staff have received some safeguarding training and know what to do should they have any concerns. The provider is a regular presence at the club and shows a good appreciation of its strengths and priorities for improvement. She regularly meets with staff, both individually and as a team, to discuss practice and any changes to procedures, guidance and legislation.

They provide high quality play opportunities that help children relax, make friends and develop the skills needed for school and future life. Children play indoors and outside, participating in activities that include table-top games, craft, team games and role play. Staff pay careful attention to children's moods and involve them in planning activities to keep them engaged. Children are encouraged to follow their own ideas and interests, accessing a wide selection of resources. Children particularly enjoy art and craft activities and are provided with lots of opportunities to draw, paint and make models. Children use recycled materials to make butterflies, volcanoes and rockets, talking excitedly about their creations. Young children confidently ask staff for help, when needed, and take it in turns

They remember and talk about special events in children's lives and spend plenty of quality time playing alongside them. Children show high levels of confidence and independence, persevering at activities. Staff routinely praise children's efforts and achievements. They are positive role models and successfully encourage an atmosphere of care and respect. Older children happily help the younger ones and children of all ages are keen to show what they know and can do. Children learn how to protect themselves from harm because staff talk to them about possible dangers and alert them to potential risks. Staff encourage discussions around internet safety and stranger danger and children regularly participate in emergency evacuation drills. Children develop a good understanding of healthy living. Staff regularly
