Safeguarding is effective. The premises are secure and leaders provide a stimulating environment for children.

All staff working at the club have been checked for suitability through the Disclosure and Barring Service. Clear policies, procedures and risk assessments are in place. Children behave well and listen carefully to others. Staff act as role models as they engage with children during activities. Parents hold the provider in high regard. Leaders listen to the views of children and act on children's ideas.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The environment is welcoming. Children of all ages enjoy their time in this friendly club. There is a good range of available resources and planned activities, enabling children to explore their own ideas. Children can make their own choices about what they would like to do and concentrate for long periods on activities they choose for themselves. They develop their physical dexterity as they decorate biscuits and use their imagination and express feelings as they play with small-world equipment. Children tell the inspector they like the club because they can take part in art, yoga, baking and junk modelling. Staff have a secure knowledge of children's development. They listen to children carefully and respond appropriately. Staff plan activities based on children's interests and requests they make during kid's club council meetings. Parents are well informed about the activities taking place.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have opportunities to take part in weekly yoga sessions that develop balance and coordination. They have regular access to the adjacent school field to develop their physical skills on a large scale. They learn about keeping healthy as they eat a range of fruit and vegetables at teatime. Children's emotional well-being is promoted effectively. They feel safe in the environment and confidently ask staff for help when required. Children are polite and can often be heard saying 'please' and 'thank you'. Children demonstrate their contentment as they sing songs to themselves during their play. They express pride in their achievements by proudly showing off their work and creations when their parents arrive to collect them. Staff work well with parents to find out about the children's individual needs before they come to the club. They support children to manage their own personal hygiene needs. Good behaviour is promoted through the
