p.1

This provision is good

 The manager and staff work well as a team. They have made strong improvements since the last inspection and have addressed all previous actions, which children benefit from.  Children enjoy participating in a wide range of activities, which capture their interests. There is a suitable range of resources available to meet their welfare needs and support their enjoyment.  Children are happy and confident to explore in this stimulating and welcoming environment. They are able to feel emotionally secure and share trusting relationships with the adults who care for them.  Children behave well and follow the holiday scheme rules. For example, they show kindness and respect for each other and take turns.

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Since the last inspection, the manager and staff have successfully improved the quality of the provision. They have reflected on their practice and have developed a sound understanding of all the requirements, which, overall, they implement well. The manager has a staff induction programme and holds meetings to ensure that staff understand their roles and responsibilities. Arrangements to develop this further to support ongoing staff development are not fully embedded. Safeguarding is effective. The manager has recently attended safeguarding training and has shared information well with staff. Suitable procedures include the safe use of cameras and mobile phones, and staff know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. Staff work well with parents. They share information about activities and ask about children's interests. Parents' feedback shows that they are happy with the service their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children spend their time purposefully and have fun at the holiday playscheme. For example, they enjoy being creative with paints, collage and cooking. Staff engage well with children to help support their learning and development. For example, they explain activities and show children how to use games and equipment. Children play cooperatively during board games and role play. Staff are nearby to offer reassurance and support while encouraging children to master things for themselves and develop new skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children to develop a good understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, children follow good hygiene routines and select fruit and drinking water throughout the session. Children have lots of opportunity for physical play; they have great fun taking turns to play on the bouncy castle. They also climb on large apparatus, use wheeled toys and participate in group ball games. Children talk confidently to each other and develop friendships.
