This provision is good

 The provider and staff have worked hard to provide a good-quality provision and they effectively promote children's well-being at the club.  Self-evaluation is rigorous. The provider takes effective action to address weaknesses and she obtains the views of staff, parents and children to make continuous improvements.  Staff support children's play well and help them to develop the skills they need to complement their learning at school. Staff obtain detailed information from parents about how they might help their children to engage in play activities when they first start at the club.  Children develop a strong awareness of keeping safe. For example, during outdoor play or visits to the park, they do not go beyond identified boundaries. Children are happy at the club and learn to take turns to share resources during routine and play activities.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider has effectively addressed the actions from a previous visit. Staff have regular opportunities to discuss their performance and they receive good guidance to improve their practice. For example, they receive training to enhance their skills to effectively support children in mixed age groups. The deputy manager takes responsibility for some procedures to help ensure the smooth running of the club. The provider and staff hold frequent discussions to review how they might improve their practice for the benefit of the children. They have a better understanding of how to plan experiences to support children's play. Staff maintain good communication with parents at all times and this supports consistency in children's care and experiences. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider ensures staff understand their responsibilities to raise any concerns and all staff know what to do to protect children from harm. Rigorous

procedures are in place for the recruitment of staff and there is a full induction programme. This ensures staff are suitable to work with children. Records are consistently maintained according to requirements and this helps to safeguard the children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interact positively with children during activities. They engage children and encourage them to identify and choose resources, such as according to colour. Staff effectively promote children's speaking skills through discussions, for example as they confidently share some of their home experiences. Children focus during activities and they take turns at using resources. They proudly show their friends their completed work. Staff acknowledge children's achievements with lots of praise. Staff complement children's learning at school very well. For example, they maintain communication books and include the suggestions from teachers when they plan play activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children say that they enjoy their time at the club and in particular, the wide range of activities on offer. They form strong relationships and spend time talking to friends. Children receive care in a secure and safe environment. The exterior door is locked at all times and there is controlled access to the premises for visitors and parents. Staff are deployed effectively to supervise children and meet their needs during all activities. Rigorous risk assessments are in place for the premises and for outings. This contributes positively to children's safety. Children know the behaviour expectations of the club and behave well. They have a good understanding of healthy foods, including the benefits of eating raw vegetables and fresh fruit which are served at mealtimes. Older children develop caring attitudes and help younger children, for example at snack time.
