The provision is good

n The provider has addressed the actions and recommendations from the previous inspection effectively. The views of parents, staff and children are regularly sought to make improvements. This has helped staff to provide a service that children enjoy attending. n Staff provide effective support for children to develop positive social skills. Children play and engage in activities well. n The provider maintains a good two-way flow of information with school staff and they share their knowledge of children's interests and needs well. This helps to support continuity of children's care and development. n Staff provide good activities for children to build on their physical skills. Children have regular opportunities to engage in active play outdoors with their older friends. n Parents value the service provided and appreciate the strong links between the club staff and the school.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The leadership team and staff know how to recognise when a child is at risk or potential concerns about children's safety arise. They complete training to increase their knowledge of safeguarding issues and are aware of how to respond to and report concerns about a child's welfare. Staff work very well with school personnel to help keep children safe. There are effective systems in place to help assure children's safety and health. For example, all staff are aware of what to do in medical emergencies and gather information about children's individual needs. Staff implement procedures, such as collection of children from after-school activities, well. The leadership team seeks feedback from parents and children to help make improvements. For example, menus have been revised to reflect healthier lifestyles.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interact and engage with children well, overall. They provide activities that build on children's interests. For example, children create objects using interlocking bricks and proudly show them off. Staff encourage children to use their imaginations, for instance, as they dress up in costumes. Children build on their physical skills as they play outdoors with their older friends. Staff encourage children to use their creative skills well. Children receive good support from staff as they enjoy taking part in art and craft activities. Staff further develop children's literacy, such as when they read and share stories.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's understanding of how to stay healthy. For example, children learn good hygiene habits as they wash their hands and eat healthy food that reflects their dietary needs. Staff provide children with good opportunities to do things for themselves. For example, children serve themselves food and help to put out resources. They demonstrate independence and focus and concentrate well during activities. Staff encourage children to play cooperatively, follow instructions and show respect for others, for instance, during group games outdoors. Children show that they build good friendships with their peers and support each other well during team activities.
