p.1

This provision is good

 The management is forward thinking and well focused in its pursuit of the improvement of the service. They demonstrate commitment and a clear vision of the high-quality service they aspire to provide for children and families. As a result, they implement practice that is good and on some occasions, aspects are outstanding.  The well-qualified staff continuously improve their professional development. This provides positive outcomes and experiences for children and keeps them highly stimulated and motivated in their play and development.  The team has robust systems in place to support the effective leadership of the club, including methods for staff support and supervision, self-evaluation and safeguarding.  Enthusiastic staff ensure children have a fun after their day at school. The quality of activities they provide ensures that children are eager to attend and are engaged in purposeful play that promotes continued learning.

p.1

This provision is good

 The staff work well in partnership with parents and school teachers by sharing information about individual children and the running of the club. This ensures that they are well informed and can offer a complementary experience for children.  Staff are positive role models as they reinforce appropriate behaviour and provide clear guidance to the children. As a result, children's behaviour is very good as they understand the boundaries and expectations within the club.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always use questions well to encourage children to express themselves.  Staff do not always fully understand the correct procedures that the club has in place.

who attend. This is good

Staff provide children with a good range of indoor and outdoor activities that effectively support their development and complement their learning at school. Staff encourage children's counting skills and freely chat with them during a wide range of activities. Staff set up activities in an attractive way so that children can easily see what is on offer and make their own choices, which allows them to follow their ever-changing interests. Staff provide children with challenging activities that encourage them to solve problems. However, staff do not always ask children purposeful questions during these activities. As a result, teaching does not always promote children's speaking and thinking skills to the highest level. Staff provide good resources that reflect children's current interests. Children use these resources well as they share books about the world and discuss volcanos and how the earth has developed over a period of time. As a result, children are motivated,

interested and engaged in their own learning.

good

Key persons support children well. They respect and value children's individuality, which promotes their self-esteem and emotional well-being. They regularly share information with parents about what their child can do. Staff support children's care practices and growing independence; children use the toilets and follow good hygiene practices with confidence, they set out tables and chairs and pour their own drinks. Outdoors children develop their physical skills as they enjoy building dens and joining in games of football. In addition, children benefit from interacting with others of differing ages and being in the fresh air. Children have suitable opportunities to take risks and learn how to keep themselves safe. Staff are always close by to offer praise, which further supports children's emotional well-being. The staff support children to develop an understanding of a healthy diet through offering healthy meals.

p.3

provision is good

The management has put a range of procedures in place to protect children and underpin the work of the staff. However, staff have not fully understood the procedures for storing their mobile phone. The manager has taken swift action to rectify the situation and ensures everyone follows the procedure. As a result, this does not have a significant impact on children's safety. The management team has a very positive attitude towards review and continuous improvement. For instance, it involves children in many of the decisions, such as the meals served and supporting children to have an awareness of their personal safety. All staff have undertaken a Disclosure and Barring Service check and their continued suitability is reviewed regularly. Accident records are consistently maintained. Safety training, such as first aid and safeguarding, is regularly updated. Staff development is seen as a priority. Managers have many plans in place to support well-qualified staff to

become reflective. This includes meetings with staff from the provider's other settings to share ideas and their expertise.
