This provision is good

n Children are kind and helpful to each other. Staff are good role models and help children to take account of the views and feelings of others. They are skilled and experienced at managing any challenging behaviour and helping children learn what is expected of them. n The manager and staff have clear plans to improve the quality of the setting and the range of experiences they provide for children. The views of parents and children are valued as part of the self-evaluation process. n The club works closely with schools to provide children with a consistent approach to supporting their care and well-being.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider, manager and staff have a clear understanding of their responsibility to safeguard children. They know exactly what to do if they are concerned to protect a child's welfare. The provider has good recruitment and vetting procedures in place to help ensure staff are suitable for their role. Overall, the manager uses her good knowledge, skills and expertise to guide and support staff. Staff attend training, such as safeguarding, first aid and food handling. This has a positive impact on children's safety and welfare. Staff share regular newsletters with parents and make effective use of daily discussions. This helps to keep parents well informed about children's activities and experiences.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff say their main aim is for children to play after a long school day. Children settle quickly into activities when they arrive at the club. Staff know children well. They have a good understanding of children's different interests and individual needs. There is a range of activities available for children to choose from. Children talk excitedly about the activities and games they wish to play as they carefully organise a board game. Other children complete intricate threading as they make gifts for parents. Children get plenty of fresh air and physical play opportunities. Staff make good use of the outdoor facilities available to them. They use the school yard and access vast fields and a range of play equipment. The youngest children are well looked after and get on well with their older peers. For example, older children patiently explained the rules of a ball game to younger children and encouraged them to join in. Staff help children to recognise and

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure at the club. Children show that they have good relationships with staff and participate eagerly in planned activities. They enjoy a range of healthy snacks. Children were delighted to enjoy cheese and crackers with fruit, discussing how this is healthy. Staff support children to be independent and encourage them to serve and prepare their own snacks. Children help to clear away toys and attend to their own needs, for instance, their personal care and hygiene. Children have plenty of toys and resources that are accessible and available for them to choose from to support their ongoing learning. Children behave well. They show a genuine empathy for children who are less able then themselves and offer good support. For example, during the inspection, older children played games with the younger ones and supported them with creative activities.
