The manager implements appropriate recruitment, induction and vetting procedures. He checks the ongoing suitability of staff regularly. Staff are deployed appropriately and are vigilant. They supervise children well as they escort them from their school to the club. Parents are happy with the level of care and variety of play experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children quickly settle into activities on arrival and enjoy their play. Staff give close attention to providing the resources that children enjoy most and children show good levels of interest in their play. Children have daily opportunities to extend their physical skills, for example, rolling and kneading play dough and lively ball skills coaching sessions. Children are supported to take acceptable risks. For example, they run and jump during physical games. They enjoy team games that help them to learn to understand rules and gain good coordination. Staff teach younger children the days of the week and months of the year as they sit alongside them and sing songs. Staff introduce activities with enthusiasm to engage children's interest. For example, children cooperate well with staff and friends, and enjoy experimenting with different textures and media, as they make chocolate apple creations in a cookery session.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff use the key-person system effectively to help children settle quickly when they start and build close relationships. Staff are good role models. They clearly enjoy being with children. Children learn a good range of social skills, such as listening, taking turns and respecting others. Children's good health is promoted well, and staff are very aware of their individual dietary needs. Children understand the need to wash their hands before eating, and the setting's menu for teatime offer children a wide variety of hot and cold foods. Children enjoy taking on responsibilities, such as tidying away their plates and cups at mealtimes. They are confident and speak to staff about their needs and wishes. This helps children to make decisions and to talk about their views and opinions. Children enjoy each other's company and play well together. They initiate conversations and take account of what others' say. They demonstrate good behaviour. Staff give them

clear boundaries to follow and children know what is expected of them.
