This provision is good

 Staff work well with parents and the schools children attend to complement their learning in school and to meet their needs consistently.  Staff maintain a safe and secure environment for children. The management team closely monitors all accidents and significant events to help it protect children and safeguard their welfare.  Staff help children to develop positive attitudes and good behaviour. For example, children contribute to the playscheme rules and staff use picture cards to help children manage their emotions and consider the feelings of others.  The management team evaluates the quality of the provision successfully. For example, it observes and assesses staff interaction and the activities provided to prioritise ongoing improvements.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff have made significant improvements since the last inspection. For example, staff have gained a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities to support children's welfare. They are confident about how to identify and act on any safeguarding concerns. The management team has developed successful systems to monitor the quality of staff's interaction and care of children. For example, it provides ongoing guidance as it observes staff play with children and provides individual development meetings to help staff improve their practice. The management team actively encourages staff development, such as providing training in specific aspects of child protection and for different physical play activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy a good range of activities in a welcoming environment. Staff join in with energy and enthusiasm and encourage children to make their own choices and suggestions. Children are keen to join in and develop new skills. For example, children learn how to play table tennis. They follow staff guidance and quickly become more confident and able to hit the ball accurately, laughing and taking pride in their achievements. Staff's positive interaction and clear communication helps to keep children involved, interested and making decisions. For example, children help to weigh and combine ingredients to make rock cakes. They consider what they need next, calculate how many trays they will need and listen to older children read the recipe to them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff work well with parents from the start to gain a good understanding of children's needs and interests. They support children closely to help them settle well, such as providing a key person and buddy for each child. Staff help children to feel valued and to learn about one another's diverse lives. They support children's interest in physical play through a good range of activities indoors and in the garden. For example, children take part in organised dance sessions. They listen well to the instructor's guidance to help them learn how to participate safely and to complete the moves successfully. Children join in with enthusiasm and laugh as they bend, stretch, jump and move their bodies in many different ways to music. Children have regular opportunities to play outside where they climb, slide, build models, fly kites and run around with energy. Staff guide children well in their play to help them learn how to keep themselves safe and secure, such as learning
