The provision is good

n Leaders reflect well on the service they provide and have a clear vision for the future. For example, they plan to increase the range of activities available for children to enjoy outdoors. n Staff are friendly and children form close relationships with them. Children are happy, relaxed and enjoy the time they spend at the club. Staff support their emotional well- being successfully. n Staff provide a wide range of activities that children enjoy. On arrival at the club, children quickly become immersed in their play and exploration. They benefit from opportunities to be creative. Children experiment with techniques, such as painting paper and folding it in half to make symmetrical artwork. n Staff help children to successfully manage their feelings and behaviour. Children are well behaved and understand the club rules.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff know the signs that would alert them to have concerns for a child, and the actions they should take to protect their welfare. Staff monitor children's whereabouts vigilantly to ensure their safety. Leaders observe staff practice well and meet regularly with them to discuss their professional development. For example, recent training enabled staff to extend their understanding of how to help children to manage their feelings and behaviour. New staff receive good support and an effective induction to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities. Staff communicate effectively with parents to share information about children's well-being. They gain detailed information when children first start, to meet their needs and build good relationships. Staff have developed good partnerships with the local schools to support consistent care for children. They regularly share information about children's

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know how to build on what children are learning at school. For example, they help children to deepen their understanding of a range of topics, such as mathematics and literacy. Children write lists as part of their shopping role play and talk about the properties of shapes. They have opportunities to relax and enjoy quieter activities, such as reading. Staff support children's physical skills successfully and provide daily opportunities for them to exercise and play outdoors. Children enjoy joining in team games and practising their skills, such as controlling hoops and playing football. Children are confident communicators and staff ensure that the youngest children have good opportunities to engage and contribute to discussions. They concentrate well as they decorate biscuits carefully.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know children well and an effective key-person system helps younger children who are new to the setting to settle quickly. Staff support children's self-esteem and help them to celebrate their achievements. They help children to develop a positive awareness of communities beyond their immediate experience. Children learn about different celebrations from around the world. Staff encourage children to be independent and support their sense of responsibility. Children assemble their own sandwiches at tea time. Children demonstrate good social skills and enjoy playing with others. They show a strong sense of teamwork as they play games together, supporting and encouraging each other in friendly competition.
