This provision is good

 The manager and staff have successfully addressed the required actions since the last inspection to bring about positive changes for children.  Staff have formed close relationships with the host school and pre-school. They regularly share information with teachers. This complements children's learning and development.  Relationships with staff and children are positive and friendly. Children have fun in the club and enjoy the activities on offer.  Staff ensure that the environment is safe when children arrive and continually assess risks. Children take part in regular fire evacuation procedures to further promote their understanding of safety.  Effective settling-in procedures ensure staff gather relevant information from parents about their children before they start. Staff use this information to ensure children's care needs are well known and met fully.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand their responsibilities in protecting children in their care. They supervise children closely and maintain safe adult- to-child ratios as children move between the inside and outside areas. Highly effective strategies are in place when children move from the club to school or the pre-school to maintain their safety. Robust recruitment and induction processes are in place with all necessary checks being made on new staff. This allows staff to fully understand their roles and responsibilities from the very start. Staff attend mandatory training, including safeguarding and first aid. This helps to promote the safety and welfare of children. Systems are now in place to monitor staff performance. Opportunities are provided for staff to discuss improvements to the quality of care and learning provided for the children and further training they would benefit from. The manager works closely with the host

school and pre-school. She receives information on topics and themes that are being celebrated in the school and any pertinent information about children that needs to be shared.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with a wide range of activities to support their interests. Children help to plan sessions and activities to reflect their individual needs. Children enjoy a variety of craft activities, including drawing and painting. They use scissors and tape to stick boxes together to make their own creations. Children develop their imaginations as they play with a large range of different sized boxes. Younger children hide inside and laugh as older children push them across the floor. Other's write their names on a box and fill it with cushions, making their own comfy area to sit. Children are highly motivated and keen to follow their interests. Staff offer support and guidance and follow children's lead. Children learn about other cultures through planned activities which complement the learning taking place in the school and pre-school. Staff provide more structured activities for children to enjoy. They encourage children to join in baking activities where children

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled in this welcoming club. Staff provide activities for children to develop their physical skills. They are provided with play opportunities, both inside and outside on a regular basis. They use the outside space to release their energy after a day at school and during the school holidays. Children of all ages confidently run and kick balls in the playground. They have resources available, such as tyres and scooters to develop their balance. An effective key-person system is in place for all children which helps to promote consistency in their care and supports their emotional well-being. Children behave very well and demonstrate positive relationships with each other. Staff effectively manage and promote positive behaviour. They encourage children to be involved in activities and give them lots of praise and encouragement. Children are warmly greeted by staff when they arrive at the club. They demonstrate that they are aware of daily routines
