This provision is good

n The manager has successfully prioritised staff training to address the actions and recommendations from the last inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know how to recognise when a child might be at risk of harm. They understand the procedures for reporting concerns about a child. Staff have a thorough understanding of the action to take if there is an allegation about the conduct of an adult at the club. The manager ensures that staff understand current safeguarding issues. For example, staff understand how to recognise extremist views and behaviours, and the manager uses a variety of methods to check their knowledge. The manager observes staff as they work with children. She reviews planned activities and, together with the staff, plans how to enhance and extend activities so that all children are engaged and challenged. The manager reviews the effectiveness of the setting to identify areas for improvement. As such, she is currently working with external agencies to build on the self-evaluation processes she introduced following the last inspection.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide interesting activities, and children want to take part. For example, children enjoy creative activities with paint and dough, and enjoy using construction toys to make different creations. During a well-planned painting activity, children enjoyed mixing colours and chatted about how to make different shades of their favourite colours. Staff gently questioned children to encourage them to express their feelings and explain their ideas. Staff encourage children's awareness of each other's backgrounds and languages. For example, they provide activities to celebrate different festivals, such as Chinese New Year. Children learn to appreciate different languages spoken by their friends, such as when they learn key words and greetings in each other's home languages. Staff understand the importance of supporting children who speak English as an additional language.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children make choices confidently and take part in routines. For example, they know where to place their belongings safely when they arrive. Staff provide a variety of outside play activities daily to help support children's good health. These include, for example, providing scooters, balls and skipping ropes. Adults join in with children's team play, which helps to provide a positive, enjoyable and safe environment for children. Staff work in partnership with parents when children need support to settle in and make friends. They understand what is important for individual children. This includes, for example, when children need familiar items and activities during settling-in times, and beyond. Parents praise the caring approach of staff at the club.
