p.1

This provision is good

 There are good systems to ensure the safe drop off and collection of children. Staff work well in partnership with the school to ensure there are effective procedures for monitoring children's attendance and that staff follow missing child procedures successfully.  Children have a good sense of belonging, forming strong friendships with other children and warm relationships with staff.  The club provides a broad range of resources for children to choose independently and to help them make decisions about their play at the end of the school day.  Staff engage with children well, supporting their chosen play. There are plenty of opportunities for staff to support children's communication and language skills.  Children learn to value their own culture and to respect the beliefs of others. Staff encourage them to talk about their experiences at home, such as their celebration of Diwali.

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have good knowledge of their responsibility to record and report any child protection concerns about a child. They provide a safe and secure environment for children to explore independently. There are effective collection arrangements to support children's well-being. Children regularly complete fire drills to support their understanding and awareness of safe practices. There are effective arrangements to ensure that only appropriately vetted and qualified staff care for children. The provider has good knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the provision. She has ideas for further improvements, such as a broader range of professional development and sharing of information.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have good knowledge of children's interests and capabilities through their ongoing discussions with parents and the Reception Class teacher. Staff engage effectively in children's play. For example, staff question children well in their role play, to extend their ideas and encourage language development. Children learn about safe practices in the kitchen, such as wearing oven gloves. Children show they feel comfortable in their relationships with staff through the way they engage in conversations with them. They enjoy the individual attention from staff, for example, as they sit quietly and concentrate on colouring activities at the end of the school day. Children listen well to instructions as, for example, they paint Father Christmas templates. They also make decisions and requests for themselves, such as asking for water to wash their brushes to avoid mixing colours together.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming environment. Children have a good sense of ownership and show pride in their achievements. For example, they are actively involved in creating a giant Advent calendar and enjoy the responsibility of opening the next number. Children behave well. For example, they politely ask for toast when they arrive at the setting, and wait patiently. Children understand good hygiene practices, such as washing their hands before they eat, and staff are good role models. Children freely choose fruits and drinks during the session, demonstrating a good early understanding of healthy lifestyles.
