The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Staff have clear bonds with the children which allows them to settle and eager to play and learn.  Staff have clear partnerships with both parents and teachers. This allows them to provide good continuity of care for the children.  Staff are all consistent in their approach to behaviour management. As a result, children behave well.  Staff work closely with teachers to extend children's learning and development when in the club.  Staff promote children's safety well through regular fire drills and daily safety checks.  Staff provide good activities to promote children's learning and development, allowing children to make good progress in their learning and development.

It is not yet outstanding because:

who attend. This is good

Staff provide good quality teaching, enabling the children to progress well with their learning and development. They work with the school teachers to extend children's learning and development when to support children with their schoolwork. Staff effectively extend activities, which promotes children's literacy skills well. For example, children were playing shops and staff supported them well in writing the labels for it. They extended it to making hats and children using scissors. This promoted their safety as they used them and their physical development. The systems staff have in place at times to support sharing popular activities are not fully effective. As a result, children wait to use these, which prevents them enjoying other activities.

p.3

good

Staff promote children's health and well-being effectively. Children enjoy daily opportunities to exercise both inside and out of doors. All ages of children work well together during all activities. For example, older children support younger children well during games of football and encourage them to join in. This promotes well their physical development and sense of belonging. Also a younger child was upset and an older child was quick to spot this and support the child. This promotes children's self-esteem and their confidence well. During snack time, staff do not always fully promote children's independence skills and physical development. They serve the food for the children, which does not fully enhance children learning and skills.

p.3

provision is good

Staff have a clear understanding of safeguarding and how to protect the children in their care. Robust recruitment procedures are in place to make sure staff are suitable to work with the children. Regular supervisions and appraisal allows the provider to look at and monitor the quality of teaching from the staff. This is evident in the types of activities that staff offer for the children. The provider employs staff that promote high quality care. This enables children to make good progress in their learning and development. The provider regular updates and reviews her policies and procedures to make sure they are meeting current changes to legislation. This also means she is able to meet all the legal requirements to keep children safe from harm.
