The provision is good

n Staff have good partnerships with parents and the school. They share information daily with parents and the school staff, and receive valuable support and advice, which helps to support children's care. n Staff complete risk assessments to ensure the environment and activities are safe and appropriate for the children and promote children's well-being. n Staff provide a range of interesting resources. They plan activities indoors and outdoors that enable children to play, explore and enjoy their time at the club. New children settle well.

training and are confident in their ability to act on concerns to protect the welfare of a child. For example, they know the reporting procedure to follow. The provider ensures staff working with children remain suitable.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interact well with children and effectively promote their communication skills. They give children time to think and respond to questions as they encourage them to recall experiences and express their ideas. Staff encourage children to count and use mathematical language as they play games. They effectively complement the learning taking place in school. Staff join in with children's outdoor games, which helps them to develop their physical abilities well. Older children include younger children in play and are gentle around them. The manager monitors children's play experiences and staff performance appropriately to ensure all children join in with activities and have fun as they play. Children say they enjoy their time at the club and are happy playing with their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The club have implemented an effective key person system and staff have developed positive relationships and bonds with the children. They support children to understand the routines and encourage younger children to be independent. For example, younger children wash their hands in the bathroom and know where to sit for tea. Children contribute to the rules and expectations of the club. Children are polite and show respect for their friends. They play well together and share and take turns. Children enjoy the benefits of exercise. They have many opportunities to develop their physical skills daily, as they take part in a variety of balls games. Children lead their own games with the supervision of staff. This promotes their independence, cooperation and gives them the ability to work together and listen to one another. Children also have the opportunity to take part in additional weekly activities such as gymnastics and drama. Staff provide

fresh and healthy food each day that meets children's dietary needs. Parents are very complementary about the services offered.
