This provision is good

 Staff support children well during all activities to achieve their aims. For instance, during creative activities they help children to use recycled materials to build imaginative constructions.  Children are motivated in their play and are happy and settled. They thoroughly enjoy using the outdoor play equipment. For instance, they challenge themselves and enhance the skills they learn in school while balancing on wooden climbing equipment.  Staff support children's good health effectively. They work well in partnership with parents and teachers in schools to meet children's individual care and medical needs. Children learn to do things for themselves. For example, they choose what they want to eat at snack time, carry their plate to the table and clear it away afterwards.  The manager leads the well-organised provision with confidence and enthusiasm. She works effectively with the area manager to coach staff, evaluate and continuously

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff complete safeguarding training and have a good knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures. Since registration, the manager has worked with staff to successfully improve planning and children’s independence. Children can now choose to play indoors or outdoors for most of the session and have a snack at any time. Staff are well deployed. They supervise children well at all times to keep them safe and use walkie-talkies to communicate with each other when children play outdoors. There are always five staff present to ensure the safety and welfare of children. The managers of the breakfast and after-school clubs have recently completed leadership and management training. This has developed their confidence to lead the staff team and fulfil their roles and responsibilities effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff recognise what children like to do. They provide appropriate opportunities for them to be active, indoors and outdoors. For example, they encourage children to develop their ability to work as a team while playing games with hoops and beanbags. Staff show interest in what children say and do and provide positive role models. For example, while playing card games and reading stories to children they listen and respond to what children say with enthusiasm. Staff set up the play areas with a wide variety of resources before children arrive at the club. Children are keen to take part in all activities. For example, they draw, make constructions and play imaginatively with others in a tepee. Children proudly show staff things they make during activities. They often engage in lively play, and they say that they like playing football.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well behaved, form close friendships and develop good social skills. They often help each other during their play. For instance, together they persist in trying to use ropes to negotiate climbing equipment that provides them with good challenge. Children also play confidently on their own. For example, while carefully building tall towers using small bricks. Staff support children’s good health effectively. Children are provided with a wide variety of healthy foods. This includes fresh fruit smoothies, which they help to make at the breakfast club. Staff supervise children very well at all times to keep them safe on the premises and on outings, overall. For example, they make sure children hold onto a rope when they walk to and from a local school.
