This provision is good

 Children are well behaved and show a good understanding of what is expected of them. Staff give children clear instructions. As a result, they follow the daily routines well.  Children of all ages eagerly participate in activities together. Older children develop a strong sense of responsibly as they support the younger children during group games. As a result, all children enjoy a strong team spirit within a family atmosphere.  Children participate in a good balance of free-play and adult-led activities. This enables them to make choices and follow their own interests well throughout the day.  Staff work well together and show a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. This enables children to benefit from a well organised day with a good flow of activities and no time is wasted.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children have too few opportunities to choose what they want to play with when they leave the whole group game or activity. This is because there is a limited range of books or other toys available.  The rest area provided for children is not sufficiently resourced to provide a comfortable area for younger children who wish to rest or sleep during the day.

Inspection activities

 The inspector looked at a variety of relevant documentation, including children and staff records and self-evaluation.  The inspector observed a planned activity with the manager.  The inspector observed children participating in a variety of activities during indoor and outside play.  The inspector spoke to parents, children and staff and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding children are effective. Staff show a clear understanding of the safeguarding procedures. They know what to do if there are any concerns regarding children's welfare. Staff are well deployed to ensure children are safe at all times. For example, staff tell each other when they are leaving the hall and the number of children they have with them and count the children again on their return. Younger children have a named key person to ensure their needs are met. However, the area for them to rest or sleep is not well resourced. Staff ensure documentation is used effectively and shared with parents. Staff plan the activities for the day including who will lead each session. This ensures staff are clear about their responsibilities so that they work as a team and support children effectively. The manager has begun methods of self-evaluation to identify the settings strengths and areas for improvement. Parents spoken to during the inspection

report that they are very happy with the quality of care. They know how to raise any concerns if needed and feel assured by the high levels of security.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a wide variety of sports and team games which promote children's physical skills well. Children develop good coordination and spatial awareness as they run around during group games while using cones. For example, they are able to stand together quickly in their team’s base hoop. Staff also promote children's maths skills well during team games by counting and developing children's problem solving skills. Children enjoy free-play in the outside play area and skilfully use a variety of balls and play equipment while other children sit in the quiet area and draw. Children enjoy looking at books and listen well to stories read by staff. However, the range of books available is limited. Children develop their free creative expression as they use a variety of art and craft materials to make Halloween pictures and masks. They develop their language skills well as they describe what they are making or drawing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children know the 'camp agreement' and follow these behaviour rules well throughout the day. For example, they show respect by listening well when children show and tell the group about their creative work at the end of the activity. Children develop a good understanding of rules and gracefully accept when their team win or loose. This helps children to develop secure personal, social and emotional skills. Staff clap different rhythms and sequences which children repeat. This effective method of behaviour management calms children and bring them together following energetic group games. Children develop good personal skills as staff encourage good hygiene habits and children regularly help themselves to water throughout the day. This ensures that they stay well hydrated following physical activity. Staff are aware of children's individual dietary needs. Good systems are in place to ensure meals brought from home promote healthy eating

habits. Children enjoy a relaxed mealtime where they socialise with their friends.
