This provision is good

 Staff are good role models. They are deployed well and provide clear guidance for children about what is acceptable behaviour. Staff involve children in devising their own rules and boundaries for the club. This helps them to know what is expected of them.  The manager and staff demonstrate a good knowledge and understanding of how children learn. This helps to complement and consolidate what they learn at school.  Staff promote effective conversational language and promote good thinking skills. For example, they chat and ask thought-provoking questions about subjects of interest.  Children's well-being is effectively supported. Staff create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. This contributes towards children feeling happy and content.  Partnerships with parents are effective and information is shared on a regular basis. Parents are complimentary about the service.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff can discuss examples of potential signs and symptoms of abuse and have a good understanding of their responsibilities. They are fully aware of procedures for protecting children. Staff implement a wide range of policies and procedures and they maintain all required documentation. This contributes towards keeping children safe and protecting them from harm. Staff assess risks to ensure the premises remain suitably safe and secure for children's use. Children are supervised effectively. Staff understand the importance of working with external agencies if children need additional support or help in their learning. The manager has developed good links with the host primary school. This contributes well to meeting the individual needs of all children. The staff team works well together to identify areas to develop. They show a commitment to continuous improvement to enhance future learning opportunities for

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their qualifications well to provide a variety of opportunities and activities that children of different ages and abilities enjoy. For example, children concentrate well as they join together to play various board games. Staff support children to take turns and share as they play. This helps children to acquire the skills needed to be ready for the next stage in their learning. Older children often help younger children with activities. Children are self-motivated and initiate their own play. Staff involvement in activities is respectful. They interact well with children, engaging them in conversations. Staff introduce mathematical language to children through everyday play. For example, they regularly count and discuss size and colour in games. The flexible and relaxed approach to promoting play and supporting learning is successful. This is demonstrated as children become engaged and engrossed in activities immediately on arrival at the setting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are relaxed and enjoy their time at the setting. There is an effective key-person system in place. This helps children form secure emotional relationships with staff. Staff form positive relationships with children and get to know them well. Children's safety is maintained by clear supervision from the staff on the walk to the club from school. Children enjoy physical play and develop skills working as part of a group. For example, they enjoy team games, such as tag. Independence and self-help skills are fostered effectively. For example, children are encouraged to independently wash their hands before handling food. Staff teach children to respect others and acknowledge their help. For example, children are reminded to say please and thank you during mealtimes. Staff praise children to help raise their self-esteem and confidence.
