Staff know what to do if they have a concern about the welfare of a child or the behaviour of an adult. Staff implement clear policies and procedures to ensure children remain safe and secure at the club. For example, staff undertake thorough risk assessments and keep track of children's whereabouts throughout the session. Leaders ensure staff induction is thorough. Leaders check the quality of activities and help staff evaluate and improve their practice. Parents value the club's flexibility and are pleased to report their children are happy and well cared for.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children actively participate in the wide range of interesting activities provided by staff indoors and outdoors. Children have good opportunities to develop their balance and coordination. For example, staff support children well and actively encourage them to join in running and climbing games. Children learn to work alongside each other and appreciate each other's work. For example, they take pride in painting and discussing their Christmas decorations. Staff encourage children to share books with each other. Children enjoy sitting in a cosy space discussing stories with each other and staff. They learn the joys of reading. Staff help children develop their writing skills and build on what they have achieved in school. Children like the construction activities on offer and eagerly play with their friends to solve problems.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The club operates effective key-person arrangements. Staff know children well and children form strong bonds with their key person. Children of all ages behave well and learn to take into account the needs of others. For example, when children prepare their own snack staff sensitively remind them to leave some for their friends. Staff work hard to meet the individual needs of all children. They listen to children's views and provide activities that build on children's interests and enthusiasms. For example, many of the children enjoy playing outdoors. Staff ensure outdoor play is easily accessible and well supported throughout the session for those who want it. Children of all ages play collaboratively and amiably with each other. Staff encourage children's independence. Children know the club routines. They find the resources they want and readily set up their own games. Children of all ages and stages are happy to clear away at the end of
