This provision is good

n Children enjoy their time in this welcoming, positive and stimulating club. They form secure attachments with staff and make good friendships. This helps to promote children's emotional and social development. n Children's behaviour is very good. All children are polite and respectful of each other. They are consistently kind and caring. Older children are very mindful of younger ones and make sure that they include them in club activities. n The qualified staff undertake good professional development opportunities to maintain their knowledge of good-quality childcare. They are inspired to gain higher qualifications, to help to update their knowledge and benefit the children in their care. n Children relish opportunities to be outdoors. Staff provide plenty of physical activities and encourage children to be creative thinkers. For example, children are engrossed in a 'bug hunt' and enjoy ball games. This helps children to gain an understanding of the

world in which they live and develop and test their physical skills. n Partnership with parents is good. Staff build trusting bonds with children and their families. Parents comment that they are pleased with the service provided and staff keep them informed about their child's day at the club. n Occasionally, staff miss chances in challenging younger children in their child-initiated play and in planned experiences to make the most of their own ideas and enhance their independence further. n Information sharing between settings children also attend is not fully effective in supporting continuity in children's experiences and interests between the settings.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand their roles and responsibilities in protecting children in their care. They have good knowledge of the signs of abuse and neglect and the procedures they should follow to raise a concern about a child. All staff attend regular training to ensure they are aware of current child protection legislation. Secure recruitment and vetting procedures check that staff are suitable to work with children. Children are supervised well at all times. Staff deploy themselves effectively to ensure children are always kept safe. They complete daily checks on the room that is used by the club and the outdoor areas. This helps to ensure that any hazards to children are minimised and they can play safely. Regular supervision and monitoring of staff's performance are used to further support their ongoing practice. The manager reflects on all areas of the service to identify and target areas for further development and training.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children quickly settle in well and show delight in their play. Activities are attractively displayed and children quickly choose what they want to do. Children enjoy taking part in craft activities and they explore and discuss colour changes as they mix paint. Staff support children well and encourage the use of various materials and media. Children show great concentration and hand-to-eye coordination. Staff help to promote children's creativity and imaginative skills. Children are keen to join in with a 'bug hunt' and they investigate areas of interest enthusiastically. They share their finds and talk about the differences and similarities in the creatures. Children make marks and count their discoveries. Staff engage children in discussions and ask them questions. Staff promote children's mathematics and early reading skills well. Staff are always on hand to offer support and encouragement to children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff gain important information from parents and use children's interests to help them settle at the club quickly. Children are confident, sociable and self-assured. They come from different schools and make new friends quickly. Children behave well. They understand the clear boundaries and expectations that staff have of them. Children learn to take turns with resources and games. Staff provide lots of praise and encouragement. Children enjoy their play outdoors in the school playground. They negotiate space safely using various equipment, including technological toys, such as remote control vehicles. This helps children show good control and coordination in large and small physical movements. Staff encourage children to eat healthily and support them to learn about positive food choices. Children demonstrate that they know the routines well and are confident in self-care. Staff meet children's needs well. They tailor this support to suit
