Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide an environment, which is well resourced and presented. They respond to children's choice of activity and deploy themselves effectively to support children's play. Staff and children plan special, focused activities together, for example, staff discuss plans with children for celebrating Chinese New Year. Staff interact effectively with the children. They listen and respond to their ideas and questions and engage in their play. Therefore, children's interests are acknowledged and they are keen to join in. Children are encouraged to select from a range of equipment to enhance their experiences. Parents praise the good communication from staff and support offered. They have regular opportunities to share information from home and value the information the setting shares on how to enhance children's learning further.

Children are extremely polite and well mannered, for example, they share resources fairly and take turns when using art and craft materials. Children's efforts and good behaviour are praised and staff celebrate the achievements children make. This helps support children's sense of belonging. Staff have developed positive relationships with schools and share information with families. Children say that they enjoy their time at the club and look forward to attending, older children share their feedback and this is valued as staff work to further develop the provision.
