This provision is good

 Staff motivate children to engage in a variety of experiences and activities effectively. For example, they help children search for woodlice under logs in the outdoor play area and together they look at these under a magnifying glass. Staff get down to children's level and talk with them during activities.  Children thoroughly enjoy the individual attention they receive from staff during their play. Staff are positive role models for children to copy. Staff have a very caring and considerate approach and develop close emotional bonds with children.  Management and staff evaluate and continually improve the good quality of the provision. Since registration, new staff have been employed to work at the club and this has improved continuity of care for the children.  The management team works effectively in partnership with parents to meet children's individual needs. Parents are kept well informed about the activities available to

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection procedures and know how to keep children safe. They complete regular training that supports their professional development. For example, they regularly renew their safeguarding and paediatric first aid training. Staff take appropriate action to reduce any risks to children's safety. They make sure children are well supervised, especially when there are school sports matches taking place on the premises. The operations director has a good understanding of his role and responsibilities. He makes sure children can play in safety, engage in activities and have fun. He works closely with the operations manager to coach and support staff. The organisation offers all staff opportunities to gain a relevant qualification and progress to senior posts.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children and meet their individual needs very well. They interact with children, talk with them, engage in conversation and support them to achieve their aims. For example, they sit with children on comfortable floor cushions, help them to complete puzzles and share books. Staff successfully build children's confidence, such as to balance independently on climbing equipment. They plan a good range of activities that encourage children to use their imagination. For example, children eagerly use resources, such as pipe cleaners, ribbon and string, to make collages. They enjoy games of dodgeball and football. Staff encourage children to talk about what they do in school each day and use this information to complement their experiences. For instance, they support children's interest in using a laptop to encourage them to type their name.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well behaved. They confidently enter the club when they arrive after school. Children enjoy playing board games together. Overall, staff develop children's friendships and social skills. For instance, children thoroughly enjoy activities such as 'KOOSA's Got Talent' where they show others their skills. Staff support children's good health effectively. For instance, they provide lots of opportunities for children to be active outdoors each day. Parents spoken to during the inspection identify that this is something they really like about the club. Children do things for themselves. For example, they help themselves to fresh fruit and pour their drinks at snack time. Since registration, the organisation has taken steps to invite the emergency services into the club. For instance, to support children's understanding of their own safety in an enjoyable way.
