This provision is good

n Children enjoy taking part in activities with their friends and this helps them to build on their social and communication kills.

They are keen to provide the best possible service for parents and children. The views of parents and children are obtained to help them evaluate their provision and are used to further develop their practice. n Staff work closely with parents to ensure that children are provided with healthy options in their lunch boxes.

continue their professional development. For example, they have arranged for all staff to receive extra sports training.

Staff support children to develop skills that promote their future learning. For example, children learn to solve problems during group games. Staff provide opportunities for children to be creative and express their own thoughts and ideas. For example, children make thank you cards and write personal message in them. Staff provide support to help younger children with any tricky words. Staff engage children in interesting discussions about their family and school life. They ask them questions and listen attentively to their responses. Children enjoy messy play. For example, they mix mud and water to make pretend cement to help them in building structures. Children discuss the texture and feel of shaving foam. They use their whole hands and fingers to make marks, create patterns

and write words. Staff engage younger children in singing rhymes and encourage them to make up different verses to well-known songs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle in quickly and make new friendships with children from different schools. They get to know the club routines well and this helps younger children to gain confidence and independence. For example, children know where to put their lunch boxes when they arrive at the club. Children demonstrate high levels of self-esteem. They are happy to engage in conversation with visitors and to tell them about their favourite activities. Staff provide plenty of opportunities for children to take part in a wide range of physical activities, both indoors and outdoors. Children particularly enjoy participating in team games, such as dodgeball, football and dance. Older children are keen to be given the role of leaders and take on extra responsibilities. Staff support children to learn about important health and safety matters. For example, children know to drink plenty to help keep them hydrated during hot weather. Staff ensure all children

have sun cream applied and remind them about wearing hats to protect them from the sun. After physical exercise staff remind children to stand up straight so that they get more air into their lungs.
