This provision is good

n Children enjoy their time at the club. They form strong relationships with familiar staff and build friendships with other children. Children behave well, are kind to each other and helpful. n Staff provide a good range of resources for children to make choices about their play. For example, children show great imagination and staff support their ideas well. Children remain focused on self-chosen activities, such as exploring new paint sticks, and confidently talk about their designs. Staff question children effectively, to help them improve their designs. n Staff involve children in planning the activities and value their ideas. They seek regular feedback from children to improve the club and include them in decision making, for instance, which resources to purchase. n Leaders and managers evaluate the provision well. They have made good progress since the last inspection. For example, each younger child has a key person to provide

individual support. Staff receive regular supervision. They attend staff meetings to help guide their professional development and to share good practice, to raise the quality of their interactions even further. n Overall, there is an effective partnership with parents to meet children's care needs successfully. However, staff do not consistently gather information from parents about children's interests and use this effectively to plan initial activities. n Staff do not use all opportunities to share information with the schools children attend to complement fully the delivery of the early years foundation stage.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed staff's interactions as children played inside and outside. n The inspector held conversations with leaders, staff and children at convenient times during the inspection. n The inspector sampled documentation, including children's assessment records, suitability checks for staff and policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager keeps detailed documentation to ensure children's welfare. For instance, she records accurately children's attendance, any accidents occurring at the setting and any medication administered to children. The manager uses her training well to ensure all staff understand their roles and responsibilities to report any concerns about a child's welfare. Leaders ensure staff are suitable for their role. For example, those staff who are awaiting Disclosure and Barring Service checks are supervised at all times and not left alone with children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff listen to children's ideas and organise a range of experiences. They assess children's needs well and know when to interact and when to let them explore independently. Children remain focused on self-chosen tasks. For example, they enjoy being creative and decorate their pebbles using a range of resources. They accurately write their own name to label their creations. Children use tools with confidence, such as painting sticks, showing good coordination. They make predictions well as they explore colour, such as identifying that yellow and blue will make green. Staff are vigilant and when they see new children disengaged they are quick to direct them to an activity. Children listen well to instruction, for example, to fold their paintings and put them in their bag. They are keen to talk about their paintings, speaking confidently.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children feel safe and have a good sense of belonging. Staff actively include them in making decisions and involve them in producing club rules. Staff build children's self- esteem successfully, for instance, they regularly offer praise. Staff have a good understanding of children's special dietary requirements and prepare snacks safely. For example, they use a separate toaster to toast gluten-free bread to avoid cross contamination. Children develop a good understanding of hygiene practices, such as washing hands before they eat. They gain good independence, for example, preparing fruit to make a kebab and pouring their own drinks. Children have good opportunities to be outside and active. They confidently explore the resources and devise games, for instance, aiming and throwing hula hoops in a game of tag. Children persevere with age- appropriate tasks, such as to balance and walk on the stilts safely.
