p.1

This provision is good

 Staff have regular meetings with management to review and monitor their performance and suitability to work with children, and to support their professional development. They attend frequent training and receive good mentoring and coaching from more experienced or senior staff. These procedures help to increase staff's personal effectiveness and improve experiences for children.  Children's welfare is exceptionally well safeguarded. Staff are very well informed about, and trained in, child protection procedures. They carry out rigorous risk assessments and implement health and safety procedures that effectively promote children's wellbeing.  Management uses information from their quality assurance processes to identify and target priorities for improvement. For example, helmets have been introduced to protect children from head injuries when riding scooters.  Staff are experienced in playwork. They understand and effectively meet the

recreational needs of school children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.  The club is equipped with good-quality play resources to meet children's individual needs and interests.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff have not fully explored all possible solutions for resolving the limitations of the play space provided for club use by the school. They have not considered all possibilities for creating space for children's imaginative and exploratory play outdoors as a supplement.

who attend. This is good

Children enjoy, and become deeply engaged in, play activity. For example, they spend ages searching for small creatures in the flowerbeds which they then examine closely using magnifiers. Staff clearly enjoy being with the children. They playfully join in their games, support them to achieve new skills and spend time talking and listening to them. Children engage in relaxing activities, such as making daisy chains and doing art and crafts. They confidently perform for the regular 'Clubland has talent' competition and particularly enjoy engaging in pretend play. Staff plan a daily special activity, such as a science experiment. For example, children were shown how to make smoke using a magnifier and a leaf in the sunshine. When this failed, staff helped them decide to try again in warmer weather. The 'have-a-go' attitude which staff help to instil in children supports their future learning very well.

good

Children are very well supported to settle into the club. Staff gain a good deal of information about children's interests and needs from parents who visit with their children before they start school. Children are allocated a designated member of staff and are introduced to an older child who becomes their buddy. Together, they help children become familiar with the routine, safety and behaviour rules, and to make friends. This helps children feel safe and secure. Staff successfully promote positive and safe behaviour. They remind and explain why children need to inform adults if they are leaving the room to use the toilet, and to wear safety hats when using the scooters and carts. Children wear reflective jackets and head torches when playing outside in winter. Children engage in a good deal of active and outdoor play. They drink water regularly from the fountain and are provided with healthy choices at tea time which they prepare themselves.

p.4

provision is good

Management has a good understanding of the requirements relating to out-of-school care. Children are safe and happy because they are cared for by a team of long-standing, well- qualified and trained staff who enjoy their work. For example, a member of staff with a degree in biology takes responsibility for planning the science activity programme. Since the last inspection, management has increased the supply of play resources for use outdoors. Parents receive regular newsletters informing them of club activity plans and operational issues. Staff exchange information with parents and teachers each day to help ensure children receive consistent care and support between their different environments.
