This provision is good

Parents speak highly of the staff and the range of activities their children enjoy. n The manager continually evaluates the provision and strives for continuous improvements. She has addressed the recommendations raised at the last inspection. For example, staff now have established good relationships with the host school, which helps continuity of care. The manager involves the staff, parents and children in making improvements to the club to benefit all children. n Staff do not always take advantage to extend opportunities outdoors for children who prefer to play outside, to further extend their enjoyment and interest of outdoor play. n Although the staff attend some training, they have not yet considered expanding their knowledge and skills further, to help better support children's activities and interests.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff understand their responsibility to support children and keep them safe. They know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. The organisation of staff ensures children receive good levels of supervision. Staff check the premises to ensure they are safe for children to play in. The manager has rigorous recruitment procedures to ensure that staff working with children are suitable to do so. She carries out induction meetings when staff first start to help them understand the policies and procedures and how the club runs. She continues to support staff and regularly meets with them to discuss aspects of their role in the club. For example, through appraisals and supervisory meetings, to improve outcomes for children. Staff liaise well with other professionals to provide a consistent approach to children's well-being and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children quickly become busy and engage in activities when they arrive. Staff interact in a positive manner with the children and join in with energy and enthusiasm. They use their qualifications and experience to plan and provide an inviting indoor learning environment. They help children to extend and develop their play. This becomes apparent when children and staff use the play dough and make cakes. Staff use this opportunity well and suggest that children have a competition to see who can make the best cake. This enthuses the children, who use their imagination effectively to make different types of cakes. Staff encourage children's creativity, providing a good variety of art and craft activities. For instance, children use a variety of materials to make their Father's Day cards. They make intricate patterns of their own design, developing their small-muscle skills as they handle tiny objects. Staff praise children well and help them

to recognise and celebrate their achievements. This helps children's self-esteem and encourages them to be proud of what they have created.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know children well and work effectively with new children to develop their confidence and self-esteem. Younger children are provided with a key person. They help children to settle and share information with parents effectively. Staff create a welcoming and friendly environment where children arrive happy and settle well. They support children to gain independence skills and give them responsibilities. This is illustrated when the children have their snack. They follow good hygiene procedures and help themselves to their food and drink. They make healthy wraps using meat and a selection of salad items. Children choose when they have their snack and sit relaxing and talking to their friends. After they have finished, staff encourage children to clear their own plate and cup away. Children learn ways to help keep themselves safe. For example, staff remind them to use the scissors carefully and to walk inside in case they slip on the hall
