The provision is good

n Children enjoy their time at the club. They are eager to join in, and enjoy a good range of sports, arts, crafts and games with their friends. n Staff ensure that children's safety is given a good priority. The premises are safe and secure, and children are well supervised. n Children's behaviour is good. Staff support them to understand the rules of the club. They use a variety of strategies to help children learn about what they expect from them. Consequently, children of all ages play cooperatively and are kind and considerate to others. n Leaders are committed to their role in evaluating the provision to help make positive changes. They gain the views of children, parents and staff to determine what works well and identify areas for further improvement. n Staff have developed positive relationships with parents. They communicate effectively to ensure they promote good continuity of care and learning and meet children's needs

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n At times, the organisation of some physical activities means that children who prefer to engage in less energetic play cannot fully concentrate, as some activities are much noisier than others. n Staff miss some opportunities to encourage children to participate in a range of activities which is enjoyed by both boys and girls.

Inspection activities n The inspector viewed the areas of the club used by children. n The inspector observed staff and children during activities and considered the impact on their learning. n The inspector completed a joint observation of an activity with the registered provider. n The inspector spoke to staff at appropriate times during the day and asked them questions regarding safeguarding and children's care. n The inspector viewed relevant documentation, including public liability insurance and staff's paediatric first-aid certificates.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff complete safeguarding training. Their knowledge is constantly tested through safeguarding audits and discussions with leaders. They have a secure understanding of the procedures to identify and report any concerns regarding the welfare of children. Robust recruitment procedures, as well as a rigorous induction and staff training programme, ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Leaders make good use of appraisals and regular feedback from supervisors to help monitor staff's performance and provide further training to help improve their practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The well-qualified and experienced team works well together. Staff respond well to leaders' high expectations and share a desire to provide children with a high-quality provision. They offer enjoyable activities that motivate children to solve problems, persevere and work together to complete challenging tasks. For example, children use dried spaghetti and marshmallows to build the tallest tower, and experiment using different shapes and structures to prevent the tower from falling. Staff extend on these activities by using online resources to show the children how engineers construct bridges so that they are strong and robust. Staff make good use of spontaneous opportunities to extend children's learning. For instance, when children pretend to make watches, staff talk to them about how some count how many steps they walk during the day, to determine how physically active a person has been. Children show high levels of

confidence and emotional well-being. They enjoy arts and crafts and cooking activities, and spend long periods planning and making items from a variety of materials.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Good relationships between club staff and children are evident. Children are happy and content and respond well to the staff's positive approach. They benefit from nutritious meals and snacks and regular exercise. A dedicated sports coach plans activities that enable children of all ages to practise their physical skills. For instance, children enjoy throwing and catching a ball and using apparatus in their play. Staff place a good focus on children's safety. They practise fire drills and help children to understand how to evacuate the building safely. For example, children know that they must exit quietly in an orderly way and gather at the agreed evacuation point.
