This provision is good
n Staff plan a good variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors, that children enjoy. Children are imaginative and particularly enjoy craft activities and building with construction toys.

them follow instructions and negotiate and solve problems amicably. n Although partnerships are good with parents and the school, information sharing is not fully effective.

p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management is good
The manager evaluates the setting well and has made changes that benefit children. Both children and their parents comment on recent improvements to the organisation of the club and the activities provided for children. The provider does not ensure all documentation is readily available for inspection. Although this is a breach of requirements, it does not have a significant impact on the quality of care provided. In addition, the provider agreed to seek permission from Ofsted to hold the documents securely off site. The provider ensures all staff receive training to keep children safe. The manager holds meetings and talks regularly to staff to provide support and guidance. All staff understand their responsibilities to protect children from abuse and neglect and know to who they should report any concerns they may have. Safeguarding is effective.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
Staff plan a good range of activities for the children. They talk to the children about what they like doing and adjust the provision of activities accordingly. Staff explained to the children what activities were on offer and asked if there were any other games or resources they would like. Children quickly engaged in games with their friends. Staff support children's play and help them to explore and build on their ideas. This enabled older children to use small blocks to build a 'power source' and a 'trap door'. Staff provide a wide range of materials to support children's creativity. Younger children enjoyed painting and staff encouraged them to talk about their pictures.
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
Children have opportunities to learn about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. They prepare their own snacks and follow robust hygiene practices. Children enjoy opportunities to play different sports outside, such as football and running races. Staff are good role models and teach children to treat others with respect. Mostly, children show kindness and tolerance towards others and behave well. For example, younger children follow the rules of board games, helped by staff and older children who tell them when to pick up a card and when to collect money. Children throw the dice, count spaces and laugh when they land on a space visiting the jail.
