n The manager and staff have worked hard since the last inspection. They have addressed all of the actions that were previously set. Staff now have a good understanding of how to safeguard children, and the current committee members and staff have all been appropriately vetted. n Staff organise the environment well and provide children with a rich range of experiences. Children are able to make decisions about their play and are independent in choosing activities of their liking. This enables children to spend long periods of time engaged in activities that interest them. n Children have fun and very much enjoy the time they spend at this friendly club. Staff establish strong relationships with the children. They join in with activities and children show that they are confident as they communicate their preferences well. n Children develop a good understanding of the importance of physical exercise and a

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The atmosphere in the club is warm and welcoming. Children settle in quickly, are happy and enjoy their time there. They are keen to spend time with their friends and develop good relationships with staff. Children's good health is promoted well. They understand why it is important to follow good hygiene routines. Children go to the bathroom independently to wash their hands before joining in with a baking activity and eating. They learn to share and take turns. Staff involve children in creating the rules of the club. Children confidently talk to visitors about what they enjoy about the club. They say that they enjoy playing with their friends. Children have regular opportunities to play in the fresh air and to exercise. For example, they particularly enjoy playing on a variety of climbing apparatus outside. This helps to develop children's large and small movements. Staff help children learn how to stay safe as they play.
