The provision is good

Children's happiness, well-being and safety are at the heart of the setting. Their individual needs are well catered for and they appear happy throughout the time they spend there. Overall, staff provide a high level of care and early education to all children. They plan in experiences, such as watching the life cycle of a butterfly first hand. Relationships between staff and children are very positive and the behaviour of children is exemplary. Staff make clear their high expectations through prompting children to say 'please' and 'thank you', and supporting children to work together and transport a long rope in the large outdoor area. Children show positive attitudes to learning. They are eager to plant seeds and cut up fruits to see the seeds inside.

The provision is good

Skilled staff help children to learn through interesting activities that include creating their own representation of a fresh vase of flowers using paints. Children enjoy listening to stories and pretend to go camping in a large tent containing books and comfy cushions. Those children with a delay in their learning are well supported. Gaps in learning are identified early and tailored plans put in place to help children make good levels of progress.

However, communication between term time and holiday club staff is not fully effective in ensuring the few early years children attending during those periods, continue to receive targeted support. n Children learn how to make positive choices for themselves through timely prompts from staff.

Correct recording and reporting procedures are in place. Staff understand how to implement their whistle-blowing policy. Training in child protection is undertaken on a regular basis and staff have a broad knowledge of other aspects of child protection, such as female genital mutilation and radicalisation. There are robust procedures in place for tracking accidents that have happened both in the setting and elsewhere, when a child arrives with a pre-existing injury.
