This provision is good

 The provider, manager and staff work together very well. They are courteous and respectful towards each other and children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider, manager and staff all have a secure knowledge of how to help keep children safe. They regularly attend safeguarding refresher training, to help ensure they keep abreast of safeguarding issues. They know typical signs and symptoms of abuse and the local procedures to follow to help keep children safe from harm or neglect. The newly fixed security system helps ensure that unauthorised persons cannot enter the premises after school hours. Safeguarding is effective. The provider meets with staff regularly to identify strengths and areas for improvement. They attend regular training to support their professional development. For example, to support their knowledge of how to deal with children's specific health needs and how to provide exciting games and activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Activities are planned according to children's ages and abilities. Staff enable children of all ages to learn and have fun. Children engage in a range of activities and experiences with children. For example, staff enthusiastically join in with children during table tennis and board games. Staff teach children how to keep themselves safe. Children are supported to take acceptable risks. For example, the provider talks about slippery surfaces as children excitedly get ready to play in the snow. They walk carefully as they excitedly scoop up snow to make snowballs and snowmen. Children are excited, enthused and engaged in whatever they do. Staff observe children and regularly share these observations with parents and other professionals, such as teachers from the local schools. They engage effectively with parents and other professionals to support children's care, learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The youngest children are supported well. Their key person gets to know their likes and dislikes when they first start, to help them settle quickly. Older children settle straight away as they arrive from the local school. All children's behaviour is good. They are emotionally secure. Older children show care and concern for the youngest children. They put their arms around them as they first arrive. They confidently show them how to hold the table tennis bat correctly, as they play together. All children have formed close relationships with staff and each other. At every activity, they play cooperatively, share and take turns. Children share ideas, negotiate and respectfully listen to each other's ideas as they design and create artwork together. Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. They learn to do things for themselves and become extremely confident and independent.
