This provision is good

n The provider has successfully worked in partnership with the local authority to drive improvement within the setting. A high priority has been placed on developing the staff's skills and knowledge, particularly around safeguarding. For example, they have completed training on general child protection along with the wider aspects of safeguarding children. n Older children are particularly nurturing towards the younger ones. They plan and organise games for them to play, supporting younger children during mealtimes by sitting close and providing friendships for those that are new. n Staff support children's personal development exceptionally well. They provide opportunities for children to assess and manage their own risk during the activities provided. For example, while building dens in the wood, the children identify low-level branches of the tree that are dangerous, working out how they can make the area

This contributes to their understanding of a healthy lifestyle. n Partnerships with other professionals are not fully development to ensure more- detailed information is gained to support the needs of all children to the highest level.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of how to protect children and keep them safe. Risk assessments are robust, which ensures that children are protected and kept safe. For example, regular head counts take place and children are supervised when going down the corridor to the toilet. The provider has reviewed and improved monitoring systems, which has enabled them to evaluate their overall practice. The induction procedure has been extended, which has helped staff to gain the skills they need to undertake their roles and responsibilities effectively. The provider has completed training on supporting staff's effectiveness, which has prompted them to review the topics covered when meeting with individual staff. The provider is motivated to improve their own professional development, which has encouraged some of the staff to embark on training to gain a recognised qualification. Partnership with parents is

strong. Parents are very happy about the service they receive and comment that their children request to come to club on their day off and that staff know them well. The provider asks both parents and children for feedback and acts on this, for example displaying the weekly menu so that parents can see what their child has eaten.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a variety of options relating to children's needs and interests, so they can choose what they wish to play with. Regular outdoor play opportunities are available throughout the day. Staff interact positively with the children during their play. For example, they make bingo enjoyable while children listen attentively and get excited when their number is called. Children are highly motivated and eager to attend the club. They confidently express their enjoyment when taking part in art and craft activities, playing with the dolls and the outdoor activities. Children delight at showing the inspector and staff the new skills they have learned, enabling them to make bracelets. They jump up and down and get excited when they get a 'strike' while bowling.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children behave exceptionally well. They demonstrate a clear understanding of the boundaries, which are re-enforced effectively by staff. Children use very good manners. They show high levels of support and respect for their friends, ensuring that everyone is involved in the games they play. Children's physical development is promoted extremely well. They have great fun taking part in the obstacle course and take pride in cheering on their friends. Children develop their physical and coordination skills very well. They skilfully balance hoops on their heads, ride trucks and weave in and out of cones. Staff are very attentive towards children. They raise their self-esteem effectively, listening to what they have to say and enabling them to follow their own ideas. Children eagerly organise and join in team games such as 'What's the time Mr Wolf' and 'Granny'. Exciting activities enable children to learn about different cultures. They celebrate different

festivals by tasting a variety of food, including recipes provided by parents, and taking part in craft activities.
