This provision is good

n Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding issues and how to keep children safe and protected from harm. n Children have a good understanding of their own safety. For example, they talk about risks, rules and boundaries when walking back from school and how these keep them safe. n Children are eager to talk about what they enjoy doing at the club. They also talk about how they can ask for certain toys and resources. Children concentrate well during their play. They especially enjoy adult-led activities, such as making slime, where they become engrossed and show great enthusiasm for the activity. n The environment for children is welcoming and friendly. Children are happy and they quickly settle into the routines of the club. n Children are polite and they behave well. Staff recognise situations where children need more support in managing their behaviour and support children effectively to understand the consequences of their actions.

This provision is good

n The deployment of staff and organisation of some activities and resources sometimes mean that children's experiences are not always engaging, enriching and imaginative. In addition, the management of hand washing is a little chaotic. n The committee and management have a clear vision, commitment and drive to promote continual improvement. However, the many ideas they want to implement to improve the service are not yet targeted in areas of priority, with clear timescales of when they want to achieve their ambitions. n Parents are happy with the service provided for their children. They feel that their children are kept safe and experience a range of activities. Inspection activities

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff provide a safe environment for children to play. They regularly risk assess and implement effective policies and procedures to promote children's welfare and safety. They have a good awareness of the signs of abuse and neglect, and other safeguarding issues, such as children being vulnerable to extreme views. They fully understand their role in reporting concerns to ensure they promote children's welfare. The staff are qualified and, through regular supervision, they are supported and encouraged to develop their skills and knowledge further. The committee, management and staff have worked hard to address the areas identified for improvement at the last inspection. Older children and younger children now play cooperatively together, and they show respect towards others. In addition, children now have a separate quiet space where they can rest and relax to support their health and

well-being needs. Members of the committee are actively involved in the running of the club. They contribute to improvement plans and have a clear overview of how well the club is being led and managed.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a wide range of activities and resources for children. Children are independent and can make their own choices in play. Children's views, likes and interests are considered well when planning activities. Overall, children approach their play with enthusiasm and excitement. However, the organisation of the role-play area is not as exciting and stimulating to foster children's imagination to the highest level. Children have good relationships with their peers. For example, they enjoy playing games together. Children are building on the skills they are developing in school. They confidently engage in conversations. Children enjoy number games, writing and drawing activities, and they manage their personal care needs very well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are working well with school to build up strong links and relationships. They exchange relevant information with teachers to support them in meeting children's welfare and care needs. Staff attend new starter meetings in school with children. A number of settling-in visits are offered so that they get to know the children in school and build up secure relationships with them. Children are happy and settled in the club and have good relationships with staff. However, although staff positively engage with the children, they are not always deploying themselves well to promote high levels of engagement during some activities, such as mealtimes. In addition, the organisation of hand washing can sometimes be a little chaotic. Children are offered a healthy range of snacks. In addition, they have good opportunities to take part in physical activity to help them learn about making healthy choices.
