This provision is good

n Staff provide a relaxed and nurturing environment where children are happy and settled. n Staff use kind and gentle interaction, which effectively helps children to understand the club rules and behave well. n The well-organised environment ensures all the children benefit from the learning experiences on offer. n The manager actively seeks and uses feedback from children, parents and staff. This is effective in helping to evaluate the sessions to maximise children's enjoyment. n Staff consistently provide a positive atmosphere in the club and are sensitive to children's individual needs. This helps children feel safe and secure. n Parents who use the club less often do not always receive relevant information about activities offered. This means children may arrive without the appropriate equipment, limiting their choice of activity, for example swimming.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Staff receive effective supervision, which aids them in reviewing and developing their practice. There are good systems for receiving feedback that support improvements. For example, children wanted more messy activities so the timetable was changed to reflect this. Safeguarding is effective. Good organisation means staff know whom to contact if they have concerns about a child. Robust risk assessment routinely identifies and minimises any risk to children. For example, parts of the outdoor area are closed to children because of a tree surgeon's visit. There are effective partnerships with parents. For example, staff ask parents about their child's key interests and consider these when planning the timetable. Effective recruitment procedures are in place to ensure staff are appropriately vetted and suitable to work with children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are active and imaginative and enjoy their time at the club. Staff provide interesting activities to develop their skills. Children follow instructions outdoors as they negotiate the obstacle course and laugh with their friends. Staff make use of children's play to support them to follow a recipe, for example when making 'gloop'. This effectively supports their physical and mathematical skills. Staff's expert storytelling promotes children's imagination and communication skills well. Organised sessions such as the 'zoo lab' introduce children to animals and reptiles, prompting excited discussion. Children access activities in age-appropriate groups. This means the activities offered are interesting and suitably challenging for the age of the children in the group. Children's individual needs are sensitively met, which allows all children to access the activities on offer.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff implement an effective key-person system because a consistent member of staff works with their group of children. This means children are well settled and secure. Children make friends with each other and willingly share and take turns. They listen, show respect for each other and are clear about the rules. Staff are excellent role models for behaviour. They are extremely positive and kind, which supports children's well-being effectively. Mealtimes are a calm and sociable occasion where staff and children chat about their day. Parents say they are very happy with the club, and their children enjoy attending.
