The actions set at the previous inspection have been addressed sufficiently well. A number of staff now hold appropriate first-aid qualifications and children are now supported well to develop their independence. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand the signs and symptoms of abuse and know what to do if they have concerns about a child. Children's safety is promoted well. There are appropriate risk assessments in place to ensure children play in areas that are safe and secure. Staff recruitment procedures are robust. The majority of staff are well qualified. They benefit from regular staff meetings and training opportunities. This helps to keep their knowledge up to date. Parents are very complimentary about the good care and support their children receive. They comment that they feel valued and that their opinions are important.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a wide range of opportunities for children to enjoy at the club. They interact warmly with children and effectively encourage them to participate in the routines and activities of the day. Children enjoy exploring the range of creative and imaginative activities that are on offer. They use a variety of tools and equipment to make models from old boxes together. Staff talk to them about what they are doing and add explanations to their learning. Children thoroughly enjoy their time outdoors and being physically active in the extensive school grounds. Staff encourage children to build on their early mathematical skills. They support children to count out loud while they skip with each other. Staff engage children in conversation throughout the session, encouraging children to use and further develop their communication skills effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Relationships between each child, their key person and other members of the staff team are good. This encourages children to feel secure and grow in confidence. Children settle well and are happy in this welcoming, friendly environment. Children feel comfortable and understand the club's routine. Children particularly enjoy playing outdoors. They develop their physical skills playing games such as football, skipping and using hoops or scooters. Children behave well. They help staff to create rules for the club, which are displayed on the walls. They learn how to take turns with each other and to share resources. They are eager to take responsibility for tasks, such as clearing the plates and cups away after snack time. Children's emotional well- being is well supported. They confidently use the toilet, wash their hands, help to prepare their meals and look after their personal belongings.
