This provision is good

 Partnership with parents is strong. Good levels of communication with parents enable staff to keep well informed about children's allergies or medical needs and to meet the individual needs of children well.  Staff plan a good range of interesting and enjoyable activities that motivates children and builds on their existing skills, helping to prepare them for future learning.  Staff keep parents informed about their children's experiences. For example, they maintain colourful scrapbooks of the activities children have enjoyed in the club.  Children behave well. Staff are good role models for children. For example, staff discuss the rules of the club with children at the beginning of the day to enable all children to be safe and aware of expected behaviours.  Children are confident and happy. Overall, they enjoy the activities, develop positive relationships with the staff and quickly form new friendships with their peers.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge of what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. The leadership team provides regular training, helping to ensure staff have up-to-date knowledge. A combination of good supervision from staff and thorough risk assessments helps to ensure children are safe as they play. Recruitment and induction procedures are effective in checking staff's initial and ongoing suitability. Leaders use effective processes to help new staff to become familiar with their roles and responsibilities. They ensure that the provision is run well and regularly conduct reviews to ensure staff implement all policies and procedures. Leaders monitor staff performance to identify development points, which are addressed to benefit children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a good range of activities and play resources for the children to participate in and enjoy. Overall, children are well occupied and enjoy the activities on offer. For instance, children have great fun as they play parachute team games together. Staff plan stimulating activities to extend children's learning. For example, children take part in experiments to make 'foaming elephant toothpaste' and notice changes to flowers when they place them in coloured water. Staff support children to explore musical tones, vibrations and learn about how unusual musical instruments work, such as steel tongue drums. Children have good opportunities to increase their communication and language skills. For instance, during cake decorating activities, staff introduce new words to children's vocabulary, such as 'marbling' when they comment on the effects children produce using 'space goo' icing. Staff help children to learn through enjoyable activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

For example, to learn about space, planets and constellations, children made models of star constellations and enjoyed videos about different planets.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children feel safe and have a sense of belonging. They know who their key person is and are greeted warmly. Children enjoy being physically active outdoors. Staff remain close to children, offering support when needed. Children practise their physical skills, for example, as they balance, climb and use rope swings. Staff give children plenty of praise and encouragement. This supports their confidence and self-esteem effectively. Staff help children learn how to keep themselves healthy. For instance, they teach children about the importance of drinking regularly to keep them hydrated in the warm weather. Children have a suitable area to relax if they are tired. They have lots of opportunities to learn about the differences and similarities between themselves and others, such as through planned activities to learn about different cultures and festivals.
