The provision meets requirements

 Staff attend training in areas, such as child protection, to update their knowledge. They are confident about the actions to take if concerned a child is being harmed. Risks to children, both indoors and outdoors, are identified and minimised. Staff know how to manage accidents and complaints appropriately.  Managers recruit staff appropriately. They carry out checks to make sure staff are suitable to work with children.  Staff are well qualified and experienced. They work closely with parents and other professionals, such as school teachers, to identify and to meet children’s care and learning needs.  Staff plan and provide an interesting and stimulating learning environment. They encourage children to share what they would like to play and do. Children can select from a wide range of high-quality toys and play materials. This helps them to make choices and to follow their own ideas in their play and learning.

The provision meets requirements

 The club has clear plans to promote children’s emotional well-being. Staff help children feel valued as a member of the club. They encourage children to decide upon the values for the club which include, ‘don’t leave others out’.  Managers and staff show a positive attitude towards continually developing the quality of the club. As part of their strongly focused self-evaluation, the views of parents and children are sought, reflected upon and responded to. For example, the teatime menu has been changed to offer hot options, such as pasta when parents show a dislike for sandwiches.

The provision meets requirements

There were no children present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
