This is a provision that requires improvement

Parents are happy and express their satisfaction with the club. n Staff ensure children have opportunities for active and energetic play which help them to develop healthy lifestyle habits. n Children have access to a spacious and secure environment.

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Self-evaluation systems are developing but are not yet effective. Although staff hold evaluation meetings to consider what has worked well, they do not consistently consider whether activities have engaged children and held their interest. Safeguarding is effective. Vetting and recruitment procedures ensure that staff working with children are suitable. Most staff are secure in their understanding of safeguarding issues and demonstrate their awareness of the reporting procedures to follow should concerns arise. Staff complete relevant training, such as safeguarding and first aid. However, the provider does not use staff supervision well enough to check that all staff understand and apply what they have learned on training to improve their practice. Staff ensure the environment is free of potential risks, which enables children to play safely.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff generally provide children with an appropriate range of activities and play experiences. Children make spontaneous and independent decisions as they play with their friends. Staff interact with children well and move around to offer support to individual children in their play. Children explore resources that interest them, including, for example, drawing and colouring. Staff inform children about what they will do next to ensure they have smooth transitions between activities and routine tasks. Parents describe staff as friendly and approachable.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff ensure the environment is safe and well maintained. Staff effectively support children's emotional well-being. They join in children's play, which helps them feel secure and confident. Staff teach children to learn about gratitude and kindness. They organise activities to promote children's health and well-being. These include a range of opportunities for children to be active and to get fresh air. Most children enjoy indoor music and movement exercise sessions and outdoor play where they have fun skipping and play ball games. Children help themselves to fresh fruit and drinking water. This helps children to develop healthy lifestyle habits.
