The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Children are provided with a wide range of activities. These cover the areas of learning and are based on their individual interests.  Children enjoy healthy and nutritious snacks. They have regular fresh air and exercise, which promotes their good health.  Children are kept safe from harm through the implementation of robust policies and procedures.  Staff have good relationships with parents and the host school. There is regular sharing of information to ensure children's learning in school is complemented and the needs of children are met.  Children share warm relationships with staff and each other. Their behaviour is good. This enables children to feel emotionally secure at the club.  The manager involves staff, parents and children in identifying the club's strengths and weaknesses. She is committed to the continuous development of the club and drives forward improvements.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Opportunities to share information with the younger children and provide time to talk and socialise in small groups are sometimes missed.  Evaluations of staff's practice are not yet precise enough to fully identify how to support them in maximising and strengthening their skills.

who attend. This is good

Staff have good relationships with the on-site school teachers. They share information about areas where children's learning can be supported in the club. Staff plan a wide range of activities based on the interests of individual children. They complement children's learning in school by following similar topics and extending their knowledge. Children interact well with the staff and older children. Each child is assigned a key person who works with parents and teachers to meet children's needs. Children are observed, next steps are identified and their progress is monitored. Staff interact with the children as they play, asking them questions and extending their learning. However, younger children do not have regular opportunities for discussions in smaller groups, where they can discuss the activities available to them, request other resources and socialise with children of a similar age. As a result, there are missed opportunities to build children's confidence

and further support their communication and language skills. Children enjoy playing board games with adults, developing their counting skills and number recognition. They use their imagination during pretend games and play with a wide range of resources including construction materials.

good

Children enter the club enthusiastically and are warmly greeted by staff. They enjoy playing outside on the wheeled toys or using their imagination as they pretend to make meals in the sand tray. Older children are mindful of the younger children as they play outside. They display good behaviour because staff have consistent boundaries in place. Children's self-esteem is promoted well. Staff praise their efforts and achievements. Snack time is a social occasion as children sit together and talk to each other and staff. Children know to wash their hands before eating. Their independence is encouraged as they help themselves to snacks, spreading butter on their fruit loaf and pouring their own drinks. Relationships with the school's teachers and other settings are good. Effective systems are in place to share information and support children's move between school and the club. As a result, processes to prepare children for their next stage in their learning are effective.

p.3

provision is good

The manager and staff have a good understanding of the legal requirements and how to keep children safe. There are thorough risk assessments and the premises are secure. Procedures for recruiting staff are robust and ensure they are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of child protection and understand the procedures to follow should a concern arise about a child. Systems are in place to support the professional development of staff. However, observations of staff's practice do not yet have a clear focus or monitor the impact of training received. Self-evaluation takes account of the views of staff, parents and children. Action plans are closely monitored and ensure continuous improvement to the club.
