This provision is good

n The provider and staff work hard to implement secure procedures that help this busy club run efficiently and safely. The play leader holds a daily briefing with the staff so that all are aware of children's needs and their daily roles and responsibilities. n The key-person system is strong. Children who are new to the club are introduced to their key person as soon as they arrive. The key person helps children to engage in play and is an effective advocate for the youngest children through all activities and routines. n Children's behaviour is good. They build positive relationships with others as they identify shared interests and make new friends. Children are confident and demonstrate high levels of self-esteem. n Partnerships with parents are effective. Staff take time to talk to parents at the end of the session and share information about their children's day. Parents state they are happy with the service offered by the club and say their children enjoy the play

activities available to them. n The staff team is well qualified and brings a wealth of experience to the club. All staff are given opportunities to contribute their ideas and give feedback. This helps to promote continuous improvement. n The provider has good healthy eating policies in place relating to the food children bring from home. However, these do not cover the food and drink that are purchased from the on-site cafeteria and cooking activities. Consequently, at times, some children are consuming high levels of sugar.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good knowledge and understanding of the signs and symptoms that may indicate concerns about children's welfare. They know to take prompt action should concerns arise about a child. The provider and staff implement effective risk assessments and procedures to help minimise any risks or hazards to children's safety. For example, they ensure staff who hold a first-aid qualification are deployed well to cover all activities. Staff all carry a portable first-aid kit, to help them to assist and deal with any emergencies should they arise. The provider has effective recruitment and vetting procedures in place. These help to ensure all those who have access to children are safe and suitable. A thorough induction procedure helps new staff to quickly understand their role and responsibilities. Staff's performance is monitored through regular observations of their practice and supervision meetings. The provider

regularly seeks the views of parents, children and staff. This helps her to identify any areas to improve the quality of the setting and the service they provide.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children engage well in both planned activities and self-chosen play. Staff carefully consider the wide age range of children and plan activities and play equipment according to their individual needs. Staff provide children with many opportunities to be creative, and children are keen to express their ideas. For example, when children are drawing pictures of animals, they make up stories about their pictures and talk about what the animals are called. Children use skills they have learned at school, for example word building as they use lettered beads to make pieces of jewellery. Staff make daily notes on what activities the younger children engage in. These are shared with parents, and staff gain information on children's interests from home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a safe and secure environment for children. They work together efficiently, for example, when they supervise children closely and support them with their play and activities. Children are familiar with the club rules and expectations and they respond positively to staff's guidance. Children learn how to develop most aspects of healthy lifestyles, especially around being active. For example, they have daily opportunities to play outside and extend their physical skills, such as running, climbing and balancing on equipment at local parks. Children learn to respect each other, and older and younger children play together very well. Staff sensitively support children to recognise similarities and differences, and they provide an inclusive environment where children show they feel valued and safe.
