This provision is good

 The well-qualified manager, the deputy and the provider are dedicated to providing good-quality care for children. They follow secure recruitment procedures and ensure staff complete initial training so they understand their roles and responsibilities.  Children say that they enjoy coming to the club and they like making friends from the different classrooms. They also say that the staff are fun and that they are kind to them. Children particularly like playing outdoors and going to the 'studio' where they take part in a range of activities, including making items using art and craft materials.  Children behave very well and they are provided with consistent messages from staff. Various strategies are effectively used to help children treat each other with respect.  Parents spoken to during the inspection were highly complimentary about the team and the activities offered to children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff complete regular child protection training. They are aware of current legislation and the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child's welfare. The manager works closely with the provider to ensure that safe recruitment is followed. Staff receive comprehensive information about how to keep themselves and children safe. Their knowledge is regularly checked, such as through the detailed induction process, appraisals and discussions. There is a very close relationship with the school staff. For example, relevant information is shared to help ensure children receive consistent care. This also helps staff to know about children's current and ongoing development needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff warmly welcome children into the well-resourced club. Children freely choose what to play with prior to the regular event of 'show and tell', which is very well lead. For example, children are encouraged to discuss the items that they have brought in, and lots of laughter and talking takes place. Staff effectively build on children's confidence, such as when speaking in large groups, and support children's home languages well. The enthusiastic manager is a good role model for less-experienced staff. She and her deputy are keen to extend their knowledge further. They are studying towards a higher qualification and share new ideas with staff. For example, sensory play has been introduced with children having fun exploring materials, such as foam and melted jelly. Staff are attentive to children and join in with their play, such as when den building. For example, they ask effective questions to help develop their problem-solving skills.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Younger children are provided with a key person. They help children to settle and effectively share information with parents about their children's day. Children's health is well promoted. Staff are aware of children's allergies and dietary needs and ensure that they have nutritious options at mealtimes. Children share their news and enjoy telling jokes to each other and to staff members, which results in lots of laughter. This is one example of how staff build positive relationships with children to help them to feel a sense of belonging in the club. Staff promote children's safety at all times. For example, activities take place to help children learn how to keep safe, such as when using technology and playing computer games. Children have many opportunities extend their physical skills. They have fun outdoors, where they play chasing games and build imaginative play areas using various materials, such as tyres. Overall, children play harmoniously together at the
