This provision is good

n Staff have created a welcoming environment and plan a good range of activities. Children are motivated and keen to join in play. For example, they spend long periods of time decorating rocks with different coloured pens. They delight at creating models from salt dough using a variety of tools. n Relationships between the staff team are strong and they act as good role models for children. Staff are very consistent and clear about their expectations of good behaviour. For example, they discuss the club rules with children throughout the day. They are positive and praise children for their achievements. n Staff promote children's personal, social and emotional development as a priority. Children are settled and happy in the club and enjoy spending time with their friends. Older children enjoy supporting younger children to help them to succeed during activities. n Children benefit from lots of physical activity. Older children enjoy playing football and

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager holds a training session for the whole staff team before the summer club starts. This helps to ensure that staff are up to date regarding child protection matters and health and safety procedures. They can confidently identify signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. They show knowledge of wider safeguarding matters. They understand what action to take and who to contact if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The manager evaluates the effectiveness of the club using views from staff and some parents. This helps her to identify and address areas for improvement effectively. She has a detailed action plan in place to show what action will be taken. For example, the stage area has been redeveloped to ensure that it is more inviting and engaging for children during group activities. Overall, the manager supervises staff practice, and holds individual meetings at the end of the scheme to

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager and staff plan to cover different themes that the church promotes and follow children's emerging interests. They support all children, regardless of their faith, to learn about key values and morals through stories and fun activities. For example, they discuss things that might worry or frighten them and talk about how these fears can be overcome. Children draw pictures and share their feelings with the group. Staff lead children to sing songs and enthusiastically model the actions. Children delight at singing and many are confident to perform on the stage in front of their friends. Staff join in children's play, for example, when they support children well while making shields. They model how to use scissors and offer ideas about how to sprinkle the glitter. They encourage children to practise writing their own name, using letters and sounds effectively. Children also enjoy accessing programs on the computer independently. They

learn how to communicate effectively with others and enjoy sharing stories together. Staff play games which encourage children to think about which number comes next in a sequence. This helps children to develop key skills in preparation for school and their future learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The manager takes time to introduce all the staff to the children. This helps to build strong relationships at the start of each day. Children spend time in 'colour teams' and also together as a whole group to support them to develop different friendships. Staff successfully promote children's independence and self-help skills. Among other things, children go to the toilet and wash their hands by themselves before lunch. Staff gain children's attention and give them 'tidy-up jobs' to complete. Children enjoy making their own choices and show good engagement in play. One example of this is boys working together to build a 'castle' from wooden blocks. They use their creative and critical thinking skills to develop their own ideas, such as adding turrets, a ramp and drawing 'soldiers' to defend the castle. Children learn about how to live a healthy lifestyle. For example, during the hot weather, staff talk to children about hydrating their bodies and

why it is important to drink lots of water.
