p.1

This provision is good

 Staff confidently enter into the spirit of children's play. Their involvement significantly enriches children's enjoyment and motivation during activities. For instance, when children play together imaginatively while pretending to be vets and nurses.  Staff provide a good range of activities that successfully captures all children's interest. For instance, children decorate flowerpots which they use to plant sunflower seeds and make scented modelling dough to take home. Staff support children to use and extend the skills they learn in school. Children concentrate well while painting pebbles, drawing and independently writing their name.  Staff encourage children to take risks within safe limits that provide them with good challenge. For example, children independently climb up a slope and come down a large slide. They energetically and skilfully ride wheeled toys, use roller skates and play games of tennis and football.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff complete local authority safeguarding training. They have a good knowledge and understanding of child protection policies and procedures and know what to do if they are concerned about a child's safety and welfare. Leaders and managers regularly attend local provider meetings. They share any new safeguarding information with staff during team meetings to keep them up to date with current issues. There is a good ratio of staff to children. Leaders and managers employ sufficient staff to ensure the safety and welfare of children on the premises and on outings. Staff supervise the children well at all times to keep them safe. Leaders and managers fully support staff professional development. They coach staff while they work as part of the team. Most staff hold appropriate first-aid qualifications. They are well deployed to enable them to respond quickly if a child needs first-aid treatment.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Since the last inspection, staff have improved activity planning so that it incorporates children's individual interests. They encourage children to suggest and record activities they would like to do on a holiday club poster. Where possible staff provide resources that enable children to achieve their ideas. For example, children enjoy making cupcakes, playing inside tents, taking part in games of football and using the computer. Staff provide children with a wide variety of experiences that motivates them to get involved. They make sure that all children who want to take part in activities are included. For instance, children dance to music, take part in talent shows and face painting activities, and enjoy events such as barbeques. They build dens using large cardboard tubes, blankets and pegs and enjoy walks in woodland areas near to the premises. Children who attend the breakfast and after-school clubs have access to the same good resources.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children separate easily from their parents when they arrive at the holiday club. Staff know all the children well. They have a caring approach towards the children and provide them with positive role models. They communicate politely and respectfully and develop children's confidence to make choices and decisions during their play. Staff have improved how they promote children's independence. For example, at snack time children spread butter and jam on toast and crumpets. Children are well behaved. They develop good social skills and form close friendships with others. Staff support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities well. Older and younger children play happily together. Children confidently explain how they take turns with using resources, such as when using electronic interactive games.
