p.1

This provision is good

 The quality of staff's interactions with children encourages them to engage well in positive and exciting play experiences.  Children behave well. They are kind and considerate towards the needs of others.  Staff engage in well-identified training programmes that improve children's play opportunities. This has a positive impact on the development of the setting. For example, staff provide exciting role play and drama activities for children since learning more about imaginative play.  Children are engaged, independent and enthusiastic as they play and interact. Staff listen to children and take their requests seriously. For example, children make up a game about a train journey and staff help them organise a pretend picnic for their arrival at their destination.  The manager uses supervision and appraisal meetings well to ensure all staff have the skills and knowledge they need. This is a significant improvement since the last

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Management and staff have put significant and effective steps in place since the last inspection to ensure that all staff understand the signs and symptoms that may indicate concerns about a child's welfare. They make effective risk assessments to ensure children are protected from harm at all times. Managers evaluate the setting and make well-considered changes that improve outcomes for children. For example, staff and managers have looked closely at the routine to ensure children get lots of opportunities to help out and develop their independence. Managers work well with other professionals to ensure children's individual care and learning needs are met. This is particularly effective for children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Managers and staff provide a positive environment where children are safe and happy.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff and managers use their experience and qualifications to provide children with an exciting range of play experiences that motivates them to take part. For example, children build dinosaur homes with blocks, and then take photographs so that they can share their achievements with their friends and family. The youngest children are well catered for and get on well as part of the wider group. For example, older children help the younger ones decorate gingerbread men and really enjoy adding details such as buttons and lip stick. Staff respond well to children's interests. For example, children take part in an active and exciting game of football and develop their skills with a specialist sports coach. Children get lots of fresh air and physical play opportunities. They enjoy exploring a safe and welcoming willow den in the playground.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The youngest children build firm bonds with their special key person. Relationships with parents are strong and support effective three-way communication between the club, parents and class teachers. This helps children experience a joined-up understanding of their needs. Children are confident, settled and happy. They build positive friendships and develop a love of learning, which positively influences their journey through school. Children have lots of opportunities to develop an understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, they have nutritious snacks and plenty of fresh air and exercise.
