p.1

This provision is good

n Leaders work with the staff team to reflect on what works well and what needs to improve. They constantly review the provision and actively seek the views of parents to help them to make continuous improvements. n Staff are friendly, caring and professional. They are sensitive to children's emotional needs and support them well to develop their confidence and join in with activities. Children build strong relationships with staff and other children and generally enjoy their time at the club. n Children join in eagerly with art and craft sessions. They enjoy selecting the resources they wish to use and demonstrate high levels of concentration as they create imaginative drawings and collage. n Staff are positive role models for children. They use effective methods, such as distraction, discussion and negotiation, to help children manage their own behaviour and build relationships with each other. Children's behaviour is good.

This provision is good

n Children benefit from many opportunities to play outdoors and engage in physical activities. They use a wide range of equipment, including go-karts, hoops and balls, to help develop physical skills and support a healthy lifestyle. n On occasion, staff do not successfully plan or adapt group activities, to ensure that all children taking part are fully engaged and enjoy the experience as much as possible. n Leaders do not always consider children's views when evaluating the provision or making plans for further development.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers and staff have a good understanding of safeguarding policies and procedures and know how to report any concerns about children's welfare. The company uses comprehensive systems for staff recruitment, to help to ensure that staff working with children are suitable to do so. Induction procedures are thorough and include initial training, so that staff have a secure understanding of their roles and responsibilities. This includes training on how to provide enjoyable activities for children and how to keep them safe. Leaders provide ongoing supervision for staff to help them develop their professional skills further. Staff develop positive partnerships with parents. They keep parents well informed of activities provided and liaise regularly to provide consistency for their child's needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff join in with children's activities to help support their enjoyment and communication. For example, they encourage children to talk about the drawings they create and enthusiastically take part in team games outdoors. Children enjoy participating in organised games, which helps them to develop good listening skills and practise social skills such as taking turns. Staff instigate discussions with children and provide time for them to share their views and talk about events from their own lives. This helps children to become confident and effective communicators. They converse happily with staff and other children and speak assertively to visitors. Children are creative and enjoy expressing their ideas in different ways. For instance, they use resources imaginatively to support their role play, as they develop storylines and pretend to be different characters.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff form secure relationships with children and get to know them well. They support children's emotional needs effectively during settling-in and provide consistent praise and encouragement, which helps children develop confidence in their abilities. For example, staff encourage younger children to join in with team games for the first time and take part alongside them. Children are independent and demonstrate a good awareness of how to keep themselves safe. For instance, they remind each other to walk up or down the stairs carefully, holding on to the handrail. Staff teach children about good hygiene, encourage them to make healthy choices from their packed lunches and talk to them about the benefits of eating fruit and vegetables. This helps to enhance children's understanding of how to lead healthy lifestyles.
