This provision is good

She aspires to be outstanding and has created a play environment where individuality, respect and tolerance are at the heart of the club's ethos.  Children's laughter permeates throughout this vibrant club. They are keen to share their experiences from school and play cooperatively across the differing ages. Children behave well and show genuine care and affection towards one another. They embrace one another with hugs and provide praise and encouragement during their play.  Staff teach children well about differences and similarities beyond their own experiences. Children articulately and positively discuss the make-up of different families, such as some children having two dads or two mums. Children are well- rounded individuals who have a deep understanding of the community they belong to.

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have undertaken safeguarding training and have a good knowledge and understanding of the possible signs, symptoms and indicators of abuse and neglect.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their good knowledge of playwork and child development to plan interesting and challenging play opportunities. Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club and are proud to be part of the rainbow family. They are keen to show the inspector spooky collages they have made and take pride in showing parents construction towers they have built. Staff have created a safe haven, where children can freely express themselves and feel safe in a nurturing environment. Children of all ages show good perseverance and are never satisfied until a given task or challenge is complete. They take turns with toys, listen to the views of others and resolve minor disagreements between themselves. Younger children become fascinated while exploring gloop and excitedly weigh ingredients while baking cakes. Older children skilfully operate challenging computer programs and enjoy building dens outside. Children have a positive attitude towards their play and are well

prepared for their next steps in learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Care practices are good. Staff place high emphasis on supporting children's emotional and physical well-being. They spend time getting to know children and their families during the settling-in period. Children are self-confident, self-motivated and resilient individuals who are keen to take on new challenges. They confidently solve mathematical problems while discussing capacity and work harmoniously while completing challenging puzzles. Staff provide children with healthy and nutritious foods. Drinking water is readily available and children talk about the importance of healthy lifestyles. Staff teach children well about personal safety and managing appropriate risks during their play. Children remind one another not to run too fast and discuss how to use play apparatus correctly.
