p.1

This provision is good

 Key person systems support good relationships with parents and carers to ensure they are aware of their children's achievements.  Partnerships with parents and other providers ensure the children have a positive experience as they move between the setting and the school.  Children demonstrate that they are happy and form close relationships with the staff and their peers. They are provided with positive, caring relationships, to promote their emotional well-being and enable them to settle well into the setting.  Children make good progress in relation to their starting points and capabilities. The staff know the children well and provide resources that support their interests.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because

 There is scope to extend children's exploration of equipment to support their learning about information communication technology during their child-initiated play times, by enabling them to freely access the computer throughout the session.  Some opportunities to promote children's independence and self-care are not utilised to their full extent. For example, children are not encouraged by the staff to pour their own drinks during snack times.

Information about the setting

Crazy Chimpz Breakfast/Afterschool Club was registered in 2013 and is on the Early Years Register and the compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare Register. It is situated in a separate single storey building on the site of St. Bartholomews School. It is demountable within the school in Wolverhampton and is managed by a private provider. The club is one of three settings registered by the provider. The club serves the on-site school. There is a fully enclosed area available for outdoor play. The club employs six members of child care staff.

p.3

Of these, five hold appropriate early years qualifications at level three and one holds an appropriate early years qualification at level two. The club opens Monday to Friday during term times. Sessions are from 7.45am to 8.45am and 3.00pm to 6.00pm. Children attend for a variety of sessions. There are currently 54 children attending, 15 of whom are in the early years age group.

p.3

who attend

The manager and all staff provide a broad range of stimulating activities which supports children's interests across all areas of their learning. They have a good awareness of the seven areas of learning, particularly the prime areas, which enables them to effectively observe, assess and monitor the children's progress over time. This supports children in making good progress towards the early learning goals. Staff discuss with parents how best they can further support children's learning at home and this shared information ensures consistency. Parents inform staff about what their child can already do and what their child's current interests are, which helps to keep everyone informed about the child's care and learning at all times. Staff that work with the younger children talk to them about what they like to do then provide resources and equipment to meet their needs and interests.

p.3

who attend

The children's communication skills are supported because staff talk to them all the time, ask open questions and provide a strong role model for children to see and help children achieve expected levels of development. Children help themselves to the various resources and equipment around them, thereby making informed choices. However, at times, the computer is not switched on to ensure children's free access to this particular resource and encourage their interest further in information communication technology.

p.4

who attend

Children are beginning to show they feel safe and have positive self-esteem as they confidently laugh and giggle with one another and the staff caring for them. They run around after one another in the outdoor play areas with exuberance for extended periods after school. During outdoor play, children take turns with the equipment and enjoy playing swing-ball and football. The older school children show care towards the younger children and happily invite them to play along during such games. Other children like to hop around being physically active using the hoppers, seeing how far they can go before falling off and laughing with one another.

p.4

who attend

Children explore mathematical concepts in the indoor areas as they play bingo with one another and the staff. Other children like to paint pictures and cut and glue to create their own art work which is displayed in various areas alongside their photographs. This helps children feel a sense of belonging to the setting. Staff provide a good range of child- initiated and adult-guided opportunities to extend children's learning in all areas of their development, which helps prepare them for school.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Children's needs are identified and met because parents are encouraged to share all information about their child's needs, which supports their well-being. Children show that they feel cared for and approach the staff and other children with confidence. This shows there are strong attachments with other children and the staff. All children behave well, negotiate during board games and show respect for all those around them. They say 'please' and 'thank you' during their snack times as older school children pass around the snack food for the younger children. At times, however, the younger children are not encouraged to pour their own drinks, thereby not fully supporting their independence during such times. Children demonstrate that they have a good awareness of the importance of hygiene as they independently wash their hands after visiting the toilet and before they eat. Children learn about the importance of a healthy lifestyle because they

have regular access each day and extended time provided for them to be out of doors.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Children's moves between the setting and school are supported through an effective liaison between all concerned. This ensures that children's needs are identified and met. The staffing arrangements are efficient and ensure close supervision of children, so that they are kept safe while they learn about taking risks. Children learn about personal safety as they practise the evacuation procedures with the staff.

p.4

provision

The manager and staff work well together to ensure the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage are met. There are rigorous risk assessments in place which ensures that all areas and equipment used by the children are checked each day. This helps ensure children's safety and well-being at all times. Staff are fully informed about the child protection procedures to be followed in line with current policies and they know who to contact about concerns. Rigorous recruitment and induction procedures ensure that adults working with the children are suitable to do so. The manager ensures there are good supervision monitoring sessions in place. This helps to identify where support is needed to improve their performance and thereby promotes better outcomes for all children. The management and all staff work closely with one another and have familiarised themselves well with the learning and development requirements of the revised framework. This

provision

means that they can accurately assess the educational programmes for children to ensure their progression over time and that there are no gaps in children's learning and development.

p.5

provision

The parents contribute to the identification of their child's learning and developmental starting points and they have access to all information about their child's learning. This ensures that they are fully informed about their child's achievements and progress. Staff provide parents with information about their child's activities and enjoyment each day through verbal exchange at pick up times; they have access to the policies and procedure of the setting at all times. Parents comment on the caring relationships that staff have with their children. Partnership working with other agencies ensures that children's needs are fully identified and met. The self-evaluation systems in place have a positive impact on the provision and include the management, staff, parents and children. As a result, the improvement plans in place ensure changes benefit all children on roll.
