This provision is good

 The manager is committed to developing the club and uses self-evaluation well to identify areas for improvement.

Settling-in arrangements are thoughtfully planned and the key-person system is implemented well. Children have secure relationships with staff, and are confident and self-assured.  Staff interact well to aid children's enjoyment and perseverance in activities.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Recruitment and induction procedures are stringent and ensure that staff are suitable for their role. Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues and know how to raise concerns about children's welfare. Thorough risk assessments are conducted to ensure that the premises are safe and secure. Children regularly practise fire drills and confidently explain what they need to do in an emergency evacuation. The club is staffed by an experienced team who is supervised well. Staff have developed good relationships with parents. They exchange relevant information with them to ensure that children's needs are met. Parents provide complimentary feedback and say that children look forward to attending the club. Overall, staff have developed effective relationships with the local feeder school. They find out how children have been at school and relay messages to parents. This promotes continuity of

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are attentive and enthusiastically involve themselves in children's play. They provide a good range of activities that suits the needs of the wide age range of children who attend. Children are imaginative and develop storylines using toys and small figures. They pretend to make a jewellery shop and play amicably together to act out a narrative. Children are strong communicators who enjoy chatting and joking with staff. They participate in craft activities and concentrate intently as they use different materials to work creatively. Children show pride in their achievements and excitedly show adults what they have made. Staff enthusiastically help children to create a road by chalking on the floor outside. They skilfully question children and help them to express their thoughts and ideas. Children excitedly talk about shape and draw lines and circles to represent crossings and signs. They write for different purposes and sound out letters and sounds with staff

support. Children use different resources to build and construct. They create a zoo and spend time altering their designs to ensure that each animal has an appropriately sized enclosure.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. Children move freely around the playrooms, following their interests and leading their own play. Staff are supportive and consistently praise children for their efforts. They involve children in the setting of house rules and encourage them to be helpful and considerate to others. Consequently, children know what is expected of them and behave very well. Children are becoming increasingly independent and competently complete age-appropriate tasks. They are physically active and excitedly practise balancing and riding bikes outdoors. Staff help children to persevere and provide physical support when needed. They support less confident children and help them to join in with activities and discussions. Children follow good hygiene routines and are provided with nutritious snacks to promote their good health. They are encouraged to sample new foods and proudly record which fruits they have tried on a chart.
