This provision is good

They show that they are happy. Children settle quickly and form friendships. Their behaviour is good.  Staff encourage children to show tolerance and to be kind to each other. The younger children enjoy the company of the older children and learn from their positive examples as they play.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff demonstrate a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities with regard to safeguarding children. They know the correct procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. Management provides regular support and guidance for all staff to ensure that they understand and follow procedures to support children's safety. The provider actively encourages staff to attend training and gain qualifications. This benefits the children because staff are confident and knowledgeable in their roles. Effective partnerships with parents and teachers enable the staff to gain their views as part of continually improving the sessions for children. Leaders use self- evaluation well and have made good improvements since the last inspection. Staff create a safe and welcoming environment for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff seek information from parents and the school about children's current learning and build on this whenever possible. Overall, staff show an interest in children's skills and also encourage them to try new things. They play alongside children, allowing them to take the lead but providing guidance when needed. Children participate well in planned activities and have opportunities to make choices. For example, children enjoyed counting down as they launched a toy rocket on the playing field. They shared ideas with the staff about how it worked. Children enjoy the craft activities and show great concentration as they paint or make different creations. Children independently choose from a good variety of fact and fiction books that reflect a diverse society.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are sensitive to children's individual needs. For example, they stay close to new children to help them feel safe and confident. Children are familiar with the indoor and outdoor environments and move around confidently. Children enjoy many opportunities to develop their physical skills. They enjoy playing football, parachute games, ball games and using the adventure playground equipment. They use scooters, and some bring their bikes and safety helmets from home to use outdoors. Staff help children to learn about healthy eating as they select different options from the various nutritious foods available to them. At holiday club, staff encourage children to bring healthy snacks and lunches. Staff praise children for their participation and achievements. Staff are positive role models for behaviour and children follow their example well.
