The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The coordinator has a sound understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage, effectively meeting the needs of children who attend the club.  There are robust risk assessments in place to ensure that children are safe and any possible risks minimised, throughout the club premises.  The staff all have current paediatric first-aid qualifications, so that any accidents can be managed swiftly and appropriately.  The staff follow policies and procedures to ensure they provide a safe and inclusive club. These are reviewed regularly, to ensure they meet current requirements.  Children behave well and staff encourage them to cooperate with each other. This promotes good relationships across the club.  Children are provided with a balanced range of snacks and participate in regular energetic activities to support their physical development. This effectively supports children's growing understanding of factors contributing to healthy lifestyles.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Self-evaluation of the effectiveness of the club does not consistently include the views of children who attend.  Sometimes, opportunities for children to become increasingly independent and responsible for tasks in the club are not fully maximised.

who attend. This is good

The children look forward to coming to the club. The staff provide a good range of activities and resources to interest the different ages of children. On the day of the inspection, the children enjoyed making models out of recycled cardboard, decorating them in their own chosen ways. Staff were close by to support children if required. Children displayed their models with pride and were eager to take them home. This helps children to develop a strong sense of achievement in their efforts and promotes a 'can do' attitude. The club staff liaise closely with the school that the children attend, sharing valuable information to support children's care and learning needs. Consequently, there is consistency of approach between the club and school, which supports children to be well prepared for the next stage in their learning. Parents are kept well informed about the planned activities in the club, through regular newsletters. The staff invite parents to join

their children at events, such as an Easter egg hunt. Parents spoken to on the day of the inspection praised the club highly and said that their children enjoy the good range of activities on offer.

good

As children arrive at the club, they are warmly welcomed by staff. The session starts with a heathy snack and the children sit together, chatting about their day at school. Opportunities for children to take responsibility for routine tasks and develop their independence are not always fully maximised. Strong relationships between staff and children are evident. Staff treat the children with kindness and give them their full attention, which strongly supports children's well-being. The indoor learning environment is highly stimulating and provides children with choices in their play and learning. Popular resources, such as the games console, are available for limited times, so children learn that they have to take turns and share. There is space available if children want to rest during the sessions.

p.3

provision is good

The coordinator demonstrates high levels of commitment to continually improving the club. She holds regular meetings to identify and prioritise improvements with staff. Parents' views are identified through written questionnaires. However, children's ideas are not consistently included in the self-evaluation process, so their views do not always contribute to driving through improvements. All staff have childcare qualifications, which means they know how to meet the needs of younger children. This is enhanced through well-embedded partnerships with school. As a result, the opportunities in the club complement those in school and support children's learning and development. The coordinator ensures that new staff are suitable through robust recruitment, supervision and induction procedures. Staff know what to do if they have concerns about a child's welfare and they work with the school to ensure that proper procedures are followed.
