This provision is good

n Staff provide a welcoming and caring environment where children feel safe and valued. Children settle readily and make friends to play with.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider conducts the required vetting checks to help ensure that all staff are suitable for the role. The management team has reviewed its safeguarding policies and procedures. Staff have attended relevant training in safeguarding and are clear about the recording and reporting procedures if they have any welfare concerns about a child or an adult. Staff attend regular training and share their knowledge with colleagues. The management team and staff seek the views and comments of parents, children and others to continuously provide a good service. Parents are pleased with the reliable service they receive and spoke highly of the warm and caring nature of the staff team. Children look forward to coming to the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather relevant information from parents and school staff to help provide age- appropriate experiences for all children. Children are well motivated, keenly try new activities and get on well with each other. For example, they engage well in pretend play, such as with toy trains, trucks and mechanic tools. Older children can build their models purposefully. Children learn about different people, their cultures and traditions. For example, they talked about how their role-play trains can visit some European countries and they themselves can enjoy different food. Children enjoy reading books and drawing activities. They are confident to share their thoughts with others.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children know right from wrong and manage their behaviour effectively. They share their behaviour procedures with parents and children, so that they are clear about the expectations. For example, children learn to share toys fairly, take turns and show consideration to others. Staff remind children to wash their hands before eating. Children have a good awareness of personal safety. For example, they learn to handle tools safely and take care when they play outside with their friends. Younger children enjoy simple cricket games. Older children actively take part in football activities with their friends and staff. Staff practise fire evacuation drills effectively, so children know what to do in the event an emergency. Staff conduct regular checks on the premises and resources to keep children safe.
