The provision is good

n Staff have a good understanding of how to support children's learning and development. They include children in the planning for their club. n Children are happy, confident and comfortable in their surroundings. Staff are very good role models and display the utmost respect for children as they join in with their play. n Staff are warm, caring and give priority to meeting children's individual needs. This helps children to settle in well and promotes their emotional attachment and sense of self-esteem. n Partnerships with the primary school teachers help to ensure continuity of care and learning for all children. An effective key-person system helps children to develop secure emotional bonds. n Staff and management continuously evaluate the quality of activities and the care given to children. They reflect on areas for improvement to help to drive the ongoing quality of the club.

Staff use risk assessment effectively to minimise potential risks in the environment. Effective policies and procedures are in place and are implemented by staff. They implement robust safety procedures to maintain the security of the premises. Parents are happy with the quality of the club.

Staff have regular supervisory meetings with the manager to discuss their well-being and training needs.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are motivated to follow their own ideas and be independent learners, and take part in a range of activities. For example, children enjoy playing team games in the school hall. This helps to support their physical development and their well-being. Children are beginning to understand the effect exercise has on their bodies. For instance, they notice they are feeling hot after running around energetically. Staff interact well with children. The manager and staff engage well in children's play and listen to their suggestions. For example, children enjoy making dens to develop their role-play ideas. Staff are enthusiastic and friendly. They show they are interested in children as they encourage them to share and discuss experiences from home. Staff make the most of activities to build on the learning children undertake in school. They have developed strong links with the host school to enable information to be shared to

provide continuity in children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are keen to explore and confidently choose resources and lead their own play. Children know the routine well. They are independent and gain good self-care skills. For instance, children cut their own fruit for their snack. Staff make full use of the extensive outdoor play areas and support children to develop good physical skills. Children describe how they enjoy attending and have a fun time. They form new and strong friendships with other children who attend the club. Children show through their behaviour that they feel safe in the club. They know right from wrong and negotiate through play. Older children support the younger members of the group and children play well together. Staff make good use of daily conversations to keep parents up to date about their child's time in the club.
