This provision is good

 The provider leads the team effectively and they have worked well to raise the quality of the provision in the club since the last inspection.  Staff work well with parents to meet children's individual needs. A home-link book is maintained to share examples of children's skills and the progress they make in the club. Staff take account of feedback from parents to plan stimulating activities to build on children's learning through play.  The provider and staff build successful partnerships. Parents are very pleased with the level of support families receive, the flexible arrangements and the safe environment provided for children's care.  Children copy the polite and pleasant interaction between the staff and reflect this in their play with others. Children are encouraged to organise their own play activities and invite staff to join in.  Staff work effectively with the teachers in the schools that children attend. They obtain

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have a good understanding of the safeguarding procedures and their responsibility to protect children in their care. The provider has ensured that improvements made since the last inspection are sustained to meet the needs of children who attend. Self-evaluation is effective and includes parents and children, who also contribute ideas for activities. Staff have opportunities to discuss their professional development through regular performance management arrangements. They have undertaken additional training to enhance their childcare qualifications. This has raised the quality of practice in the club, resulting in all children's needs being met effectively. The provider attends meetings with other professionals regularly and keeps up to date with changes in legislation and with practice issues. She ensures staff are kept informed and that they implement new ways of working as appropriate.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff ensure children have many opportunities to learn through play. They provide activities that reflect children's interests, such as football tournaments. Children's language skills are well developed. They have opportunities to discuss what they know and provide clear answers to questions. They write well-formed letters in the names of countries and sound out the first letters correctly. Staff encourage children to explain where there is more or less of certain ingredients during cooking activities. Children strengthen their small-muscle skills while they stir the mixture. They talk confidently about enjoying similar experiences at home and in school. Staff incorporate positional language during discussions and generously acknowledge when children extend these with some well- chosen examples. Staff constantly praise children for their efforts and achievements. This motivates them to remain engaged and to keep on trying.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy their time in the club. They form strong bonds with their key persons, who nurture their emotional well-being capably. Children's good behaviour is promoted effectively and their self-awareness is well developed. They respond positively to incentives, such as filling in behaviour charts, and learn to take responsibility for what they do. Children mix confidently with older ones and join in freely with a range of games. They share information about their day at school and are totally at ease in the relaxed environment. Children are well informed about healthy foods and have opportunities to develop good physical skills. They benefit from daily exercise in the fresh air while they walk from school to the club. Children learn to keep safe. They demonstrate excellent understanding of fire drills and the reasons for leaving the premises promptly in the event of emergencies. Children learn about the world through fun experiences. For example,

they make flags of different countries and staff use these to build on their interests.
