The provision is good

n Staff work well with teachers from the site school that many children attend, to complement children's development in school. n Staff maintain safe and secure play areas and supervise children well to help protect them from harm. They help children to learn about keeping safe, such as alerting them to possible hazards and explaining why things are unsafe. n Children behave well and develop positive attitudes. For example, children share, include others well in their play, and use good manners. Staff are good role models who adapt strategies to manage children's behaviour consistently and successfully. n Staff value professional development to build on their skills, and to provide enjoyable new activities for children to experience. For instance, they research scientific activities to recreate with children, such as making volcanoes that erupt and rockets that launch. n

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good and up-to-date understanding of how to protect children. They know what action to take in the event of any concerns about a child to safeguard their welfare. The management team follows secure recruitment procedures to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. The manager monitors staff's interactions with children well to ensure they provide consistently goods standards of care. The management team and staff evaluate the quality of the provision to identify areas for improvement, and act on any suggestions from parents. For example, they now provide less sugary food in the cooking activities and breakfast choices to support children's health and parents' wishes. The management team has addressed the weaknesses raised at the last inspection. For example, the team now provides a more flexible timetable of activities to ensure children have plenty of physical and outdoor play

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a good range of activities and outings to support children's interests and to help children develop new skills. For instance, children learn different football moves and new games with skipping ropes. They enjoy lots of outdoor activities to support their health and physical development, and move toys freely between the play areas, such as finding role-play resources to take outside for their play. Staff join in children's play with enthusiasm. They ask children questions to encourage them to think. For example, staff take on roles in shopping games with children who are pretending to sell food. They ask children questions about the food they sell and to count out the coins they can spend. Staff help children to build further on their play, such as making suggestions and showing them how to scan the toy credit cards for them to use when there is no money left. Children engage well and welcome others into their games to create an enjoyable

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and enjoy their time at the club. They make their own choices and staff encourage children to manage tasks for themselves to build their independence further. Staff help children to develop healthy lifestyles, and to learn about eating a good balanced diet. For instance, staff provide fresh fruit snacks and instigate lots of discussion about healthy eating, such as asking children to name the healthy food in their lunch boxes. Children are keen to share their knowledge, such as telling staff that 'fruit is good for you because it has vitamins'. Staff eat with children and provide sociable mealtimes where they encourage good eating habits, such as reminding children to sit until they have finished eating so that they do not choke.
