This provision is good

 Children choose to play with a good variety of stimulating toys and resources. Staff encourage them to follow their own interests and also join in with activities planned for them. Children are active and engaged all the time.  Staff at the club liaise with the local primary schools. They take and collect children from their classrooms, which contributes to the efficient two-way flow of information. This helps to ensure that children's individual needs are met.  Staff help younger children settle and integrate well with the other children. The older children play alongside younger ones, showing them care and concern and supporting them to join in their play.  The behaviour of children is good. Staff are good role models for children to follow, for example, they demonstrate positive behaviour and language. The children thrive in a happy, busy and playful environment.  Staff support disabled children and those with special educational needs. They liaise

with parents and health professionals to ensure children are provided with the care and support they need.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The views of parents and children are not consistently included in the evaluation of the club as staff and the manager make improvements and plan for future developments.  Occasionally, staff do not give children the support and encouragement they need to be more independent and do things for themselves.

Inspection activities

 The inspector toured the premises, observing the children playing and interacting with the staff.  The inspector spoke with parents and children about their experiences at the club.  The inspector spoke with the manager and staff about how they safeguard children.  The inspector sampled relevant documentation and checked evidence of the suitability of staff.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The premises are secure and detailed risk assessments help staff ensure the environment is safe for children. The manager and staff are confident in their understanding of child protection matters and know what to do if they have any concerns. Staff are kept up to date with any changes in policy or working practices. Recruitment and vetting procedures are effective. A well-managed induction, supervision and appraisal system supports staff to develop their knowledge and skills. The manager effectively monitors, supports and promotes staff practice. Overall, self-evaluation is effective and is an ongoing process. The manager demonstrates a drive for good quality care and continuous improvement. Parents are positive about the club and comment on how much their children enjoy themselves. Staff interactions with children are positive. They encourage and support children, who relish their time in this fun and interesting

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are suitably qualified and understand that children learn through play. They provide activities and opportunities that challenge and support children's skills and knowledge. Staff involvement in activities is attentive and respectful. They offer guidance and extension to help build on children's development. They also know when to step back so that children can lead their own play and learning. Children and staff engage in rich conversations, helping to develop children's language skills. Children chat amongst themselves about their experiences at school. They also join in a host of activities linked to the Arctic and Antarctic theme. This includes creating pictures, moulding modelling materials and planning an expedition from the igloo tent. Children say they enjoy attending the club because they can play with their school friends and choose what they play with. There is lots of laughter from the children as they enjoy their play and have fun.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have strong attachments to staff. They enjoy each other's company, having fun together and sharing experiences. Children of all ages play well together. Older children are positive role models, ensuring younger children are fully included in their conversations and games. This helps children develop positive attitudes and respect the needs of others. Children make lots of decisions about what they do. They thoroughly enjoy being active and participate in many interactive games and activities, where they demonstrate how they share and take turns during their play. Staff promote a healthy lifestyle with children. They understand about healthy food options and the need to wash their hands after using the toilet and before eating. Children's physical health is promoted well. They enjoy fresh air and exercise when they play outside. Children behave well and are involved in writing the rules of the club. This helps them to understand the

expectations of staff and contributes to children being polite, kind and showing respect towards others.
