p.1

This provision is good

 Staff monitor children's development in partnership with the schools they attend to help them make good progress.  Children arrive happy and eager to join in activities with staff and friends. They confidently choose their favourite toys as well as joining in new activities in which they become absorbed.  Staff support children's physical development well. For example, they provide continuous outdoor play time with a good range of activities and games to encourage active play.  Staff maintain safe and secure play areas for children and help them to learn how to keep themselves safe from harm in their day-to-day activities.  The management team monitors staff performance successfully. For example, the manager has attended training to help her provide effective staff support sessions and training to help staff meet children's needs consistently and well.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff have a good understanding of how to support children's welfare effectively. Staff understand the correct procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child, including how to respond in the event of an accident. Staff evaluate the activities they plan and provide each week, to ensure children enjoy their time at the club and gain from the experiences. They also keep lists of children's suggestions and interests which they use to create different activities. The management team and staff have addressed the recommendations from the previous inspection. For example, they encourage children to help tidy up activities to maintain clear and safe play areas. They also keep parents informed of the club's policies and procedures and where to find these.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make good use of the space and resources to support children's interests well. For example, they create calm spaces for children to read and play without being disturbed as well as open space to dance. Staff join in children's play to provide support and suggestions to keep them interested. For example, they provide books for children to get ideas and inspiration for their creative play and then demonstrate what they can do with activities. Staff support children's communication and language skills well, such as instigating plenty of discussion time for children to talk about their school day and home news. Staff provide enjoyable challenges in children's play. For example, they encourage children to count, compare quantities, and name picture cards when they play board games in groups.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a warm welcome to children as they arrive. Children confidently choose activities themselves and move freely between the playrooms and outdoor play area. Staff encourage children to move toys around to extend their play, such as taking board games to play at tables in the playground. Staff provide children with plenty of materials and tools to encourage their creativity and imaginations. For example, children use their hands and tools to sculpt animal models which they then paint and show others with pride. Staff encourage children to share how they would like to be treated and what they consider positive values. For example, children suggest they should 'listen to other people', 'take care of new people' and 'take turns'. Staff are good role models who help children develop these positive attitudes.
