The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 Staff successfully meet children's emotional well-being. Consequently, children are happy, settle well and form secure bonds with them.  Staff provide children with clear and consistent behavioural expectations. Children are polite, considerate and very well-behaved as they move around confidently.  Staff plan a wide range of well-planned, interesting activities that engage and motivate children after their day at school.  The management team demonstrate a strong commitment to improvement and developing the provision for children. They are currently developing children's awareness of people in the community.  Safeguarding is good. Staff ensure risks are managed and staff know what action to take to protect children.  Staff have good links with the school, especially the Reception teacher, and discuss the support they intend to offer to complement the learning taking place in school.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The system for sharing information with parents about what their children have been doing on a daily basis is less well-planned for.  Staff do not always maximise spontaneous opportunities for children to play outdoors, so children can freely choose if they wish to play outside.

 build on the systems for sharing information with parents about what their child has been doing on a daily basis at the out of school club  develop better opportunities for children to engage in spontaneous outdoor play, so they can make their own decisions if they wish to play outside.

who attend. This is good

Staff provide challenging and exciting activities that cover all areas of learning. Children are highly engaged. They dress up, using their imagination to develop and act out a story. Staff work with the children and encourage them to think about what may happen next and to extend the story line. Children use the white-board drawing program, which effectively promotes their writing and computer skills. Staff assess children's progress and plan for the next steps in their learning. As a result, they support children to develop, and build on, those skills necessary for their next stage of learning in school. Staff talk to parents about the support they intend to offer to complement what is occurring in school and share children's learning journals with them. They are less effective, however, in making parents aware of what their children have been taking part in at the club on a daily basis.

p.3

good

Warm and caring relationships are in place as staff welcome children from school. Children understand what is expected of them as they wait in the hall, line up to move rooms and listen to staff instructions. They hang up their coats and excitedly access the out of school room. Staff readily praise children for their achievements and build children's feelings of self-worth. Children enjoy snack time as they learn to socialise. They delight in talking about their day at school and demonstrate their confidence to speak in the group. They manage their own needs well and are highly independent individuals. Although planning for specific activities for children to go outside is in place, there are fewer opportunities for children to spontaneously decide to play out, should they wish to do so.

p.3

provision is good

The management and staff team have a good understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. They plan a range of good-quality activities to ensure children's good progress in school is maintained. Supervision is in place and staff's professional development is planned for. For example, staff take part in training courses on phonics and child protection to improve their knowledge and skills. All staff are qualified in early years and have experience of working in schools, which helps them to support children's progress effectively. The management team monitor how well children are supported. They ensure children are emotionally supported for their next step in their learning and their move into the next class at school. A strong system for evaluating the provision means a culture of continuous improvement is maintained.
