This provision is good

n Leaders have made significant improvements since the previous inspection. Managers have extended staff knowledge of safeguarding. They support staff effectively to understand and develop their roles through training, regular meetings and mentoring. This is having a positive impact on the quality of the holiday camps and creche. n Parents offer very positive feedback about children's experiences and say how much children enjoy attending. They appreciate the wide variety of activities on offer and the nurturing and kind staff. Parents describe the setting as 'brilliant'. n Children have lots of fun. They settle quickly into new routines and feel secure in their surroundings. Children thoroughly enjoy socialising with one another. They are motivated to join in with activities and are happy and confident to try new things for the first time. n Good information is gathered from the start. This positively helps staff to understand

children's individual needs and how they can complement what children learn at school. n Staff do not consistently plan outdoor activities to provide for all children's interests, particularly those who prefer to develop their skills in the outside area. n On occasion, staff do not give careful consideration to the organisation and accessibility of resources. Children do not always have a calm, quiet area in which to spend time if they choose. This is particularly evident during the lunchtime break.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The leaders have worked hard to increase their knowledge and skills to ensure they are aware of the legal requirements of the early years foundation stage. All actions from the previous inspection have been successfully met. For example, the manager uses regular meetings with all staff to identify training needs to improve staff performance and to ensure they remain suitable to work with children. There are now good procedures in place to ensure the safety of children when using areas of the leisure centre that are used by the public. Leaders are in the process of developing their self-evaluation skills to prioritise further areas for improvements. They gain the views of parents and children as part of the process. They also welcome the advice and support from their local authority. Safeguarding is effective. Managers use robust procedures for recruiting staff that help to keep children safe. Staff know the procedures to follow if they have a concern about a

child's welfare of if they become aware that a child may be at risk of extreme views. Staff are aware of other early year settings children attend. They understand the importance of sharing information to promote continuity of care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff clearly enjoy working with the children. They spend time speaking with children so that they really get to know them well. Children enjoy developing their physical skills. For instance, they use the trampolines, play badminton, swim and play team games. At the creative table, children enjoy making 'Aztec' buildings using paper plates, straws, glue and tape. They spend sustained time decorating their masterpieces and proudly show their work to staff. Children have great fun as they play a new game of 'mummy wrap'. They eagerly wrap paper tissue around children who volunteer to be the 'mummy'. Children work as a team to complete the task and congratulate one another for a job well done.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Despite the wide age range, all children are at ease and happy in each other's company. The key-person system is effective. Children form secure attachments with the staff. They behave very well and use good manners. They understand what steps they need to take to keep themselves healthy and safe. For example, children know they must drink water when they are thirsty after exercise and how to behave on the trampoline. Children thrive in this stimulating childcare setting. Their health and well-being are always at the centre of staff practice. Children display high levels of independence and a good sense of belonging.
