This provision is good

 Children enjoy a variety of well-organised activities . Their ideas are valued and influence the daily planning and opportunities available. Children happily extend their interests and skills.  Children settle swiftly and form strong bonds with staff and peers. Staff skilfully teach children to respect each other, behave well and use their manners.  Staff are vigilant of children's safety. They carefully risk assess play areas and closely supervise children during their time at the club.  Staff maintain effective relationships with parents and the school, which enables staff to gain better knowledge about the children and to work in partnership.  The manager and staff have worked hard to address all previous actions and recommendations. They value the views of parents and children and regularly reflect and evaluate the provision to continuously improve.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider safely recruits staff. Together with the manager, they ensure staff's ongoing suitability, including through thorough, regular checks, rigorous discussions and guidance. Every staff member completes child protection training to support their safeguarding knowledge. They all know what procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's safety or welfare. Staff work effectively together and are enthusiastic about their roles. They provide a caring and inspiring environment, where all children feel valued and included. Staff monitor children's well-being effectively and ensure children can discuss any worries with staff at any time. Parents report that children are keen to attend and staff are always warm and welcoming.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff's interactions with children are positive and of a good quality. For example, they know when to join in children's activities and have meaningful discussions. This helps children extend their communication and social skills. Staff enable children to practise their own language and they proudly teach other children new words. For example, children count in different languages, when lining up. Staff provide challenging and interesting activities. For example, children have opportunities to use technology and play board games, which help them to think critically and solve problems.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide children with a welcoming environment. Children settle quickly and know the familiar routines that help to make them feel comfortable and safe. All children behave very well. Staff praise children's achievements, efforts and ideas to boost their confidence and self-esteem. Children benefit from the variety of nutritious foods provided. They follow good hygiene routines and learn how to become independent. For example, children help to lay the tables before food and tidy up after mealtimes or activities. Children make lots of choices, work well together and on their own. Children are very confident and happy while they play. Staff focus on encouraging children's social skills. Children learn to be mindful and cooperative with each other when playing together.
