p.1

This provision is good

 Children thoroughly enjoy their time spent at the club. They are extremely happy and settled. Staff provide a relaxed, friendly and welcoming environment for the children. Children's behaviour is excellent. Staff place a strong emphasis on the teaching of good manners, kindness and consideration for each other.  Children take part in planning the range of activities on offer at the club. On arrival they are encouraged to share their ideas and suggestions about the games they would like to play. Children quickly become engaged with the good range of resources available to them.  Leaders and managers are ambitious and continually reflect how the club operates to make continued improvements to the overall quality of the setting.  Staff have established good links with the other settings attended by children. They regularly exchange information about children. This enables staff to successfully complement the learning that takes place in school and nursery.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have received appropriate training to secure their knowledge and understanding of the procedure to follow should they have concerns about children's welfare. Children are supervised well and kept safe. Regular individual supervision meetings for staff and managers provide a good opportunity to identify training and development opportunities and discuss how they can build on their good practice. Partnerships with parents are effective. Staff exchange information about children's activities and time spent at the club. This helps to promote good continuity of care. Parents spoken to on the day of inspection express how happy they are with the club. They say that their children are happy and enjoy their time in the club. Staff continue to monitor children's achievements. This helps to ensure children continue to make good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Key persons gather important information from parents before children start at the club. This includes information about children's current interests and abilities. They use this information, along with their own observations, to ensure children's experiences are matched to their individual needs. Staff have a good knowledge and understanding of how to support children's play. They plan interesting and rewarding activities which children are keen to join in with. Staff are enthusiastic and join in well with children's chosen activities. Children's creative skills are promoted well. They are provided with a good range of resources and materials and enjoy designing their own paper lanterns. They learn to take care of living things, such as how to carefully handle the club's pet hamster.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The environment is extremely vibrant, bright and well organised. Children demonstrate a strong sense of belonging and high levels of confidence. They readily engage in conversations with visitors about what they enjoy doing at the club. Children express how they would like to attend more frequently. Staff ensure children are valued and seen as unique individuals. They encourage children to contribute to the rules of the club and they talk about these at the beginning of each day to help all of them play safely and happily together. Children consistently display great respect for each other and staff. For example, children taking on specific roles within the club, such as 'mini play worker', talk about how all children need to be included in games and activities. Children show excellent independence and self-care skills. They enjoy a very healthy and nutritious teatime snack that is tailored to their individual needs.
