p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider ensures staff understand and implement policies and procedures to keep children safe. The provider and staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities to report any concerns about a child promptly to appropriate agencies. There is good liaison with the school to exchange information to provide consistency in meeting children's development needs. Staff gather information from parents when children start so they can provide activities that meet their interests. Staff keep parents well informed about club activities, both verbally and electronically. The provider models and guides practice. This has helped staff to have a better understanding of delivering the requirements of the early years foundation stage.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time at the club and engage in a variety of activities. They make choices about their play and choose from a wide range of resources. Children enjoy sharing books. Staff question children effectively to encourage their communication and language skills well. Children confidently identify objects, count them and suggest ways they can be used, such as to make tea. Children are encouraged to take turns in conversations and respect others' ideas. Children connect the track together to race their cars, showing good coordination. Staff help them to extend their designs and challenge their thinking, for example, how they can make their cars flip.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff celebrate children's achievements, such as displaying their small bead creations. They encourage them to be involved in community events, for instance making a knitted blanket for the elderly and making contributions to the food bank. Children understand the rules and behavioural expectations to help them keep safe. For example, they know where to meet staff in the playground and understand the importance of crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing together. Younger children listen to older children and value their ideas. For example, when playing table football children follow older children's instructions well to turn and hit the ball with the side of their boot, helping them to aim more precisely. Staff have improved outdoor opportunities since the previous inspection, helping children to learn about healthy lifestyles.
