p.1

This provision is good

 Children are warmly welcomed by staff as they arrive at the club. They show good familiarity with the established rules and routines and quickly settle for snack time. Children of all ages engage in joyful conversation with each other and the staff about their day.  There is a good variety of resources both inside and outside which interest children and meet their varying ages and needs. Staff plan a variety of fun activities, such as making pizza twists and exploring ice, to provide children with different experiences.  The manager consistently evaluates her service. She seeks the views of parents and children in order to continue identifying ways to improve the club's practice. Parents feel the club is welcoming and well organised. Children comment that staff are kind.  Effective partnerships are in place with the host school, and the club has good access to a variety of the facilities, such as physical play equipment and the school hall.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities to protect children in their care and know how to report their concerns to the appropriate authorities. They attend regular safeguarding training, including training relating to new legislation, in order to refresh their knowledge and skills. Robust recruitment procedures are used to ensure staff are safe and suitable to work with the children, and their ongoing suitability is regularly checked. New staff benefit from a full induction, which ensures they are quickly aware of the routines, policies and procedures. Supervision meetings are held, which helps to identify the training needs of staff. The club receives advice and support from the local authority and are members of out-of-school organisations which offer guidance. The premises are safe and security is good.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children in the early years foundation stage are closely monitored by their key person, who has a good overview of their development at any one time. Their learning is tracked to ensure they make good progress while attending the club. Activities are well documented and shared with parents. Children enjoy the activities on offer and welcome staff's interactions as they play. Staff talk to children and show a genuine interest in what they have to say. Children enjoy sensory play. For example, they explore the texture of dough and flour as they roll out the bases for their pizza strips and they feel the effects of ice on their hands. Art and craft opportunities are plentiful.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are friendly and caring and children enjoy coming to the club. Children move confidently around the club and are confident to make their own decisions about the activities they want to join in with. Children of all ages have formed close friendships and older children show kindness and consideration for younger ones. Behaviour is good and children show respect for the rules of the club that they have helped to devise. For example, a list of names and a sand timer are used to take turns using a tablet. Staff promote a healthy lifestyle. Many children choose to spend their time outdoors, where they have very good space to run freely and engage in large physical play. Indoors, they dance energetically to familiar songs on a computer console, following the routines closely to score the highest points. Snacks are healthy and well balanced. Children learn to take some acceptable risks in their play and activities. For example, they carefully use a grater
