This provision is good

 Overall, children enjoy a range of play activities and are confident at the club. They have strong relationships with staff, who provide good support in activities that complement their ongoing learning.  Behaviour is good. Children are polite and play well together. Staff use praise and encouragement and reinforce the 'golden rules' to the children to remind them of expected behaviour.  Children play in a welcoming environment, where all areas are clean and safe to maintain children's health and safety.  The management team implements secure recruitment, vetting, induction and appraisal programmes. It regularly checks the suitability of staff to maintain the well-being of the children.  The management team reflects on its practise well. It uses a development plan to reflect and evaluate on the activities that it offers the children, to improve the quality of provision for all children.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a confident understanding of their roles and responsibilities and the referral process for child protection. The management team ensures that the staff are well deployed to meet the needs of the children. For example, they escort children to use the toilets, to keep them safe. Staff are well supported and receive regular training to ensure they have a good understanding of their duties. For example, staff attended training to learn about food safety, which has helped them to teach children about healthy choices more effectively. Professionals involved in children's care have a good range of information available to them. For example, staff share information between the schools that children attend and the parents. They keep their website up to date to help parents know about planned activities. Overall, written feedback from parents is positive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a welcoming environment for the children and set out a range of toys and resources for the children to enjoy. For example, children like to build houses from construction, draw and colour in pictures with their friends and have fun playing board games together. Staff help children to use their listening skills and imaginations well. For example, before lunch staff read stories to children and then ask questions, to help children to think about the story and consider how the characters feel. Staff encourage children's physical skills well. For example, children enjoy regular outdoor play, such as football and playing catch. Inside, children negotiate rope ladders, ramps, and swings on the soft-play equipment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a relaxing, safe and secure environment for the children. Children feel safe and form good friendships. For example, children of all ages play well together, sharing and playing cooperatively. Children understand the importance of good hygiene routines. For example, they wash their hands before eating. Children learn how to keep healthy and staff remind them to drink plenty to keep them from becoming thirsty, for example. Overall, staff encourage children's self-help skills and aspects of their independence well. For example, as children serve their own toppings, such as cheese and tuna, for their freshly cooked lunches and choose with what to play. Staff teach children to learn how to keep themselves safe. For instance, during daily cooking activities they teach children how to handle knives and skewers carefully to cut fruit and make fruit kebabs.
