This provision is good

 The provider, who manages the club, and staff have worked closely with the local authority adviser to address weaknesses identified at the last inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider ensures that staff use risk assessments and daily checks efficiently to provide a safe environment for children. She reviews practice to plan for further improvements. For example, the provider has taken extra protection measures during school pick-up times to help ensure the security of children. The provider undertakes annual meetings with staff to identify areas for improvement. She assists staff to compete training courses to build on their knowledge and to improve the support for children in their care. For example, recent training has helped staff to gain skills to support children who have additional needs. The provider monitors staff's daily practice and they discuss planning for each child's interests. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider ensures that staff are alert to possible signs that children may be at risk of harm and know how to refer and record any concerns to protect their welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff find out about children's interests before they attend the club and use these to help children feel welcome when they first start. Children enjoy choosing from a wide range of different activities. Staff interact with children well. They help children to master physical challenges outdoors. For example, staff encourage children to climb up the wooden frame, to swing and slide. Staff use the large open space well and arrange different ball games, such as football, to develop children's skills. Staff praise children for their achievements and engage them in discussions about their play. Children enjoy constructing different models using blocks. Children are imaginative, for example, they dress up and pretend to be different characters. Staff arrange a variety of art activities in response to children's interests. For instance, children enjoy painting and explain how the leaves on trees change colour. Staff provide quieter times and space for children to relax and read the books.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and follow the familiar routine at the club. Staff use a consistent approach to help children understand the boundaries. Staff are positive role models. They teach children about values, and children learn about each other's cultures and languages. For example, staff arrange interesting activities to celebrate different festivals around the year. Children are respectful and their behaviour is good. Staff are kind and caring. They encourage children to be as independent as possible. Children help to prepare dishes for snack and dinner, and help themselves to a drink of water or milk. They follow hygiene routines often without reminders. Staff teach children about leading healthy lifestyles, including keeping physically active on daily basis.
