p.1

This provision is good

 Staff provide a variety of resources for children with which they enjoy playing. Children say they enjoy their time at the club and have many favourite activities.  Children have many opportunities to practise their independence. They learn to care about their environment, such as when they clear away after snacks and tidy up at the end of the session.  Staff know children well. They provide activities that interest and stimulate children and help them to develop new skills in all areas.  Staff provide an inclusive environment where children feel valued. Children's behaviour is very good. They are polite, respectful and listen carefully to adults.  Since the last inspection the provider has engaged staff to help her review and improve practice. She has addressed the recommendation made at the last inspection.  The provider uses a range of methods to ensure that staff have up-to-date knowledge

of safeguarding issues. For example, staff complete online training and discuss issues at staff meetings to develop their understanding.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 During some routines, opportunities for children to chat with adults and other children are reduced because some tables and chairs are cleared away before children finish what they are doing.  Some staff do not gain a full understanding of how they can work towards the targets set for their professional development, to improve their practice.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of the procedures to follow if there are concerns about the welfare of a child or the conduct of a member of staff. There are robust procedures for staff recruitment, including detailed induction sessions which help to support new staff. Staff review accidents to minimise risks to children's safety. Qualified staff provide first-aid care in a timely way and record information fully for parents. Safety equipment, such as car booster seats, are used to further minimise risks. Staff keep records efficiently. For example, there are clear written records of any complaints and the resolutions reached. Staff gather details of children's interests from parents when children are new to the setting, to help them provide stimulating and interesting activities for them. They also gain information about children's home languages so that they can plan how to support children learning English as an additional language.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

For example, they use key words in children's home languages.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy reading and listening to stories. They chat enthusiastically with staff about their favourite books. Children use the stories and the pictures in the books to make their own designs of key characters. They use a variety of words to describe textures and shapes as they examine different objects of interest. During daily outside play, children balance on low-level beams, and help to develop their hand-to-eye coordination with bats and balls. Staff encourage children to contribute their own ideas for activities. For example, current plans include encouraging children to design and make their own board games. Children happily complete their school homework during well-organised quiet periods. In small groups, children chat about forthcoming class moves as they prepare for these changes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children greet staff happily when they arrive at the setting and staff offer equally warm greetings. Children quickly settle. They are helpful to staff and each other, and children of different ages play together cooperatively. Children are courteous during snack time as they pass each other different items and help to clear away. Children understand the health benefits of different foods and how some foods can be harmful. For example, they chat about how too many sweets can damage their teeth. Children contribute their ideas for healthy food items. They learn to keep themselves safe. Staff support children well in all areas of the setting and remind about them about keeping the areas safe, for example, from tripping hazards.
