This provision is good

 Since the last inspection, the providers have worked in partnership with the local authority to ensure that safeguarding policies reflect local procedures. They have taken effective action to help ensure that all staff have the knowledge they need to keep children safe from harm.  Staff escort young children from their classrooms.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff have good knowledge of the possible signs and symptoms of abuse. They have completed online training and are now aware of current legislation, such as the 'Prevent' duty guidance. The manager and staff are familiar with signs that may show a child is at risk from extreme views and behaviours. They know the reporting procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child or an adult in the club. Recruitment procedures are secure. The providers use effective vetting systems to check staff's ongoing suitability and from the start. New staff receive an induction programme to help ensure they are aware of their roles and responsibilities. The manager and staff carry out fire evacuation drills each term and risk assess all areas of the club before children arrive. They are vigilant in ensuring children's safety.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a variety of activities for children indoors. Children enjoy creative play. They use pens and other materials to design their spider's web on paper plates. Children enjoy talking to staff who interact positively with them. They engage in role play and copy the actions of adults. For instance, children pretend to cook food, make cups of tea for their friends and take their baby for a walk. Staff support children to learn about the world. Children find out about weather and seasons, the Royal Family and talk about traditional clothes that people from different cultures wear. Staff build positive working partnerships with parents and relay messages effectively from school teachers. They gather important information about children's likes and dislikes, which helps to ensure that children settle quickly in the club.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children call out staff's names on arrival at the club, wave and shout 'hello'. They demonstrate positive emotional relationships with staff. Children know the routine well and hang up their coat and bag independently. Staff ensure that resources are set out indoors before children arrive. Children settle quickly into their self-chosen activities and play well alongside their peers. Their behavior is good. Staff help to promote healthy eating by providing nutritious snacks. Children are aware of the importance of good hygiene and wash their hands before eating food. They develop self-confidence and learn how to take sensible risks. For instance, they make sure that their friends are not close by when they use mats indoors to perform gymnastic movements. Children clap their hands at their achievements and receive praise from staff for their physical skills. This helps to raise children's self-esteem.
