p.1

This provision is good

 The provider and staff team work well together to provide a good-quality provision for children. They regularly reflect on their practice and seek the views of parents and children, to identify further ways to improve.  Staff encourage children's confidence and independence well in a variety of ways. For example, they encourage children to manage their own personal care and to explore their surroundings.  Partnerships with parents and the host school are good. Staff liaise effectively with teachers, and parents speak very highly of the staff and the provision made for their children.  Children have good social skills and play cooperatively together, effectively building their skills for their future learning. They also learn to keep themselves safe, for example, as they learn about boundaries and safe play.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff attend relevant safeguarding training and are aware of the procedures to follow should they have a concern about the welfare of a child. The manager uses thorough recruitment and vetting procedures to ensure staff are suitable for their roles. The staff team is vigilant about keeping children safe. The manager monitors the provision well and uses feedback from children and parents to improve the provision. The provider manages staff performance and professional development well. For example, she carries out regular supervisions and appraisals for her staff and she uses this well to identify additional training to develop their skills and knowledge.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff generally plan interesting experiences to challenge and enhance children's skills and abilities even further. For example, children experience horse riding, rock climbing, go karting and sledging. Children enjoy being creative and using their imaginative skills such as when they draw, engage in role play and play with small-world play such as cars and trains. They have opportunities to relax and enjoy quiet activities, such as reading and looking at books, and staff have a created a cosy area using cushions and pillows. Children have daily opportunities to engage in physical activities and outdoor play, where they practise various ball skills and participate in group games.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy attending the club where they play in a warm and child-friendly environment. They benefit from the caring and trusting relationships that they establish with the staff and there is an effective key-person system in place. Children behave well, they get on well with each other and they play cooperatively together, sharing and taking turns with resources and engaging in activities together. They follow good hygiene routines, such as regular hand washing, and enjoy sociable snack times, where they sit together engaging in conversations and enjoying the healthy snacks provided.
