p.1

This provision is good

 Children are happy and participate in a wide range of activities. Staff involve children with the running of the club and encourage them to contribute ideas to the planning of activities. For example, some children choose to make grass skirts.  The welcoming environment enables staff to establish positive, warm and caring relationships with the children. Children are happy, settled and secure within the setting. They say that they would like to spend more time there.  Staff have a good understanding of behaviour management techniques. They are fair, calm and consistent. This helps children to behave well. Older children are kind and caring towards younger children, who learn from their older peers.  Parents speak highly of the club. They are well informed about their children's progress through a variety of methods. There have been improvements to partnership working and this is now a strength.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a thorough understanding of child protection. They are aware of their responsibilities to be alert for any emerging safeguarding issues that may affect children in their care. They know the procedures for reporting any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff ensure that the environment is safe and secure, and consistently monitor and supervise children. Staff gather specific details of children's interests from parents when children are new to the club, to help them provide stimulating and interest-based activities for their children. They gain information about children's home languages to plan how to support children who are learning English as an additional language. For instance, they ask parents for key words to use in children's home languages.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are motivated to join in. For example, they enjoy interactions with staff during a wide variety of child-led activities. Children's independence and choice is promoted well. For example, they choose activities and the variety of fruits to eat at snack time. Staff encourage children to contribute their own ideas for activities. For instance, staff and children plan and discuss a tropical themed party. Staff support children to develop curiosity about the wider world. Lively conversations are enjoyed as children talk to staff about the countries of the flags they make, such as Nigeria and Jamaica. Children enjoy reading and listening to stories. They chat enthusiastically with staff about their favourite books. Children also develop their physical skills, for example, as they challenge themselves as they navigate an outdoor assault course. Indoors staff teach children to play ping pong. They skilfully support, praise and encourage children to play harmoniously

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle well and build strong friendships. They develop a positive sense of community as they enjoy playing in large groups. Staff are good role models for children. They are polite and respectful to each other and to children. Staff offer lots of praise and encouragement. Children cooperate very well in play, sharing, taking turns and helping each other. They praise each other's work and admire their drawings. Children are polite and assertive, communicating clearly if they do not want to do something, and using 'please' and 'thank you' with each other as well as with the adults. Staff show a good knowledge and understanding of the importance of promoting children's good health. Parents provide packed lunches, and staff provide healthy snacks which consider any dietary requirements. Staff carry out regular risk assessments and are vigilant throughout the day to ensure there are no hazards accessible to children.
