p.1

This provision is good

 Overall, the manager and staff create a stimulating and welcoming environment. Children learn about the local community as they take part in various planned activities. For example, they enjoy egg-and-spoon races, Easter-egg hunts and ball games in the local park. In addition, they go on trips to bowling and to the trampoline park. Children comment on how happy and excited they are to attend.  Staff support children's emotional needs and have secure relationships with them. Children are happy, confident and show a sense of belonging. There is an effective key- person system for children that staff use well to meet their individual needs.  Children make their own choices and have many opportunities to lead their own play and learning. Children understand the rules and boundaries, and behave very well.  The partnerships with parents are strong. Staff consistently share information about children's experiences at the club. Parents comment positively on the good-quality care

and the wide range of play activities.  The provider and manager reflect on their practice well. They seek the views of staff, children and parents to help evaluate the provision. They demonstrate a clear desire to drive forward continuous improvements.

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club.  The inspector read written feedback from a number of parents and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager regularly updates staff understanding of safeguarding and child protection issues. They know the signs to look out for and are aware of the reporting procedures to follow in the event of any concerns. Staff use risk assessments effectively. This contributes to maintaining a safe environment for children. The management team has strong procedures for the recruitment, induction and ongoing vetting and training of staff. The supportive manager helps staff to improve their skills and knowledge, through regular supervision and observations of their practice. This helps the staff understand the club procedures and to recognise their roles and responsibilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children engage in games which help to develop their physical skills and ability to work in a team. For example, they enjoy various multisport activities, such as skipping, throwing a ball through hoops and a memory game that involves collaborating with each other to see if they can remember how to get to the finish line. Children learn to focus, take turns, share and help others achieve their goals. Staff provide good opportunities for children to be creative. For example, children work cooperatively to use paint and other resources to make a paper plate rabbit. Staff encourage children to carefully use scissors to cut out the rabbit ears. Staff offer children very good opportunities to use small tools. They teach them how to use a crochet hook and knitting needles to make items, such as a woolly hat and a small basket. The role-play area is popular and children engage in meaningful imaginative play. For example, they enjoy pretending to be a family and act out familiar

scenes, such as feeding and dressing the dolls. Children use dressing-up clothes to enhance their play and eagerly help each other with the fastenings. All children are confident and ask staff for assistance when needed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff gather useful information from parents about children's interests and personal development when they first start at the club. Staff are highly positive role models. They praise children to promote their confidence and help raise their self-esteem. Children learn to treat their friends with respect and listen while they speak. Older children help and support the younger children, which helps them feel secure in their care and they are developing strong and positive relationships with their peers. Children have opportunities to learn about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. For example, they help themselves to a healthy snack and follow robust hygiene practices. Children have good opportunities to become active and energetic outdoors. Staff help children to learn how to stay safe as they play.
