This provision is good

 Leaders are dedicated to providing very good-quality care for children. They continually evaluate the quality of care and activities provided to children. The views of children, parents and all staff are highly valued. These are effectively used in the process to help implement ongoing improvements to the club.  Staff have high expectations of children and use positive strategies to promote good behaviour. For example, during slight disagreements when children are playing games, they remind each other that 'sharing is being kind'.  Children say that they enjoy coming to the club and that they have fun. They say that the staff are kind to them and help them when they need it. They like taking part in the creative activities and playing team games outdoors.  There is a strong partnership with parents and teachers from children's schools. Parents spoken to were highly complimentary about the team and how they helped their

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the activities indoors and outdoors. She observed the interactions between the children and the staff.  The inspector spoke to senior members of the management team, staff and children at appropriate times. She engaged in children's play.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with one of the managers and discussed the activities provided.  The inspector held discussions with the management team. She looked at relevant documentation, such as the safeguarding policy, risk assessments and evidence of the suitability of staff working with the children.  The inspector spoke to several parents and took account of their verbal and written views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff attend relevant training and have a good understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. They ensure that safety procedures are robustly followed during collection times. Leaders follow secure recruitment procedures and ensure that staff complete an induction programme to help them to understand their roles and responsibilities. Ongoing discussions and appraisals are completed to support staff and identify training needs. For example, some staff have attended specialist training related to children's specific needs. This has had a positive impact on the quality of the interactions that children enjoy during their time at the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interact effectively with children. They explain, to children, about the activities on offer during the day. Children have fun and concentrate for long periods, such as when they make items related to Christmas. For example, they made decorations, 'snow' and 'reindeer food'. Staff encourage children to discuss what they were making and provided lots of praise. This helped to support their communication skills and promoted their self- esteem. Since the last inspection, staff provide children with an improved variety of creative activities. For example, children enjoy exploring different sensory materials and using their imaginations to make up stories. Staff plan themed activities and ensure they include children's interests. The activities are set up prior to children arriving so that they can quickly start to play when they arrive at the club.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Young children are provided with a key person. They help children to settle and effectively share information with parents about their children's day. Staff promote children's good health. For example, they ensure that they play in the fresh air each time they come to the club. Children use torches when it is dark so that they can continue to enjoy playing outdoors. They have several opportunities to extend their physical skills. For instance, children have fun outdoors, where they play well-organised chasing games. Staff are aware of children's allergies and dietary needs, and ensure that their food containers are safely stored. Staff sit alongside children when they are eating and encourage good manners. Lots of talking takes place as staff and children share their news. Staff build positive relationships with children to help them to have a sense of belonging in the club. Children's safety is promoted during their play. For example, they are reminded about not
