The provision is good

n Appropriate improvements have been made since the last inspection. Staff complete training and review their knowledge to ensure a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities for keeping children safe and secure. n The management team evaluates the effectiveness of the club and values the views of parents, children and staff, for example, to improve the planning of activities and experiences to meet children's needs. n Staff provide stimulating environments with a good variety of accessible resources. This enables children to choose what and how they want to learn. Staff listen to children's ideas and help them to carry them out, which helps promote children's self-esteem and confidence. n Children have good opportunities to be physically active and make good use of the outdoor spaces for active play. They eagerly take part in games and activities which help to support their physical health and well-being.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff keep children safe. They know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The manager deploys staff well and they supervise activities successfully. Training is used appropriately to improve how staff support the children in the club. The management team carries out supervision meetings with staff and all staff attend regular team meetings. This helps to ensure that staff continue to understand their roles and responsibilities. Partnership working with parents is strong. Parents comment that staff work well as a team, and take time to listen and support children's interests.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff team demonstrates an awareness of how to support children's play and enjoyment as they build on their learning in school. Children enjoy a wide range of activities. They use their imagination as they play with role-play equipment, act out scenarios and pretend to be shop keepers. Children enjoy accessing the creative table. They use their imaginations as they sit together, creating and decorating paper aeroplanes and colouring pictures. Staff support children well. They engage children in lots of conversations based on their interests and ask motivating questions to help challenge their thinking. Consequently, children confidently chat about what they have enjoyed at school and about significant events in their lives.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

After school, teachers escort younger children safely from their classroom to the club. Children are greeted warmly by club staff and asked about their day in school. Staff have opportunities to speak to children's teachers, which provides security and a seamless approach to children's care. Children enjoy healthy meals and drinks at the club. They demonstrate a good level of independence as they serve themselves and help staff to clear away. Staff encourage children to share their views and listen to others. They contribute to the evaluation of the club and make suggestions for improvements. For example, children take part in decision making when selecting new resources for the club. Children enjoy good opportunities for outdoor play. They develop their physical skills as they run, climb and play ball games. Children are developing an awareness of risks as they explore the outdoor area. They follow staff directions for safety and have a
