This provision is good

 The management team is strong and supports the newly appointed supervisor effectively, to ensure they consistently provide good standards of care.  Staff use effective ways to help all children learn, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language. Overall, staff support children's all-round development well.  Staff teach children about rules and boundaries to help them behave well. For example, during a group activity, staff engage them in meaningful discussions to ensure children understand their expectations. Children respond positively to this.  Children are happy and settled. They have formed positive relationships with their peers and adults at the club.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The management team and staff know what to do if they are concerned about a child's safety and welfare. Following training, they have increased their understanding of safeguarding matters, including how to protect children from extreme views. Staff are deployed effectively, and they carry out daily checks, to help keep children safe. Self-evaluation is accurate. The management team knows what the provision does well and what it needs to improve. For example, it has identified plans for staff's professional development to further benefit children and their families. The management team holds regular supervisory meetings and follows rigorous recruitment procedures to ensure staff are suitable to work with children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their good skills to observe and monitor what children know and can do. They use the information gained to provide interesting activities that children enjoy and to help keep them motivated. For example, younger children learn to develop their social skills as they take part in role-play activities. They engage positively with others and show good levels of enjoyment. Other children enjoy making patterns using a variety of writing materials. Outdoors, they show their creative skills as they draw beautiful pictures using chalks. This helps to support their imagination and exploration skills. Children learn about similarities and differences in society. For example, they take part in different cultural events and have access to multicultural books and resources. Staff are highly proactive in developing partnerships with the host school to complement children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are independent. For instance, younger children take responsibility for their belongings and are very keen to help prepare fruits for snack. Staff support children's growth and development successfully. For example, they make good use of the outdoor space for fresh air and exercise. Children show their increasing physical skills as they use the large equipment, supporting, for example, their confidence. Younger and older children play well together and show respect for each other and their environment. For instance, they show good manners and help tidy away toys. Staff are responsive to children who need cuddles and support for reassurance. They are caring and sensitive to their individual needs. This has a positive impact on children's emotional well-being. Staff welcome parents to the provision and work closely with them. Overall, parents provide positive feedback about the service they receive. This helps to establish a consistent
