p.1

This provision is good

 Children enjoy their time at their club. Staff create a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment for children to play after their day at school and during school holidays.  Staff use their qualifications and experience well. They fully include children in making decisions about activities, resources and rules for behaviour.  Parents are very positive about the club facilities. They state that they value the service and the range of activities provided and that they know their children enjoy their time with staff.  Children show good social skills and behave well; they demonstrate care and respect for each other.  The senior leadership team demonstrates a strong commitment to bringing about change and driving forward improvements.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The managers and staff do not regularly seek additional information relating to what children know and can do at school, to help ensure that children benefit from a consistently shared approach to meeting their development and welfare.  Children are not always able to sit in comfort when they want to relax or play quieter activities together.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff keep their safeguarding knowledge up to date, such as through training, and are fully informed of the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child. Staff follow comprehensive policies, procedures and risk assessments to help to protect children's well-being and safety. For example, effective routines for children's registration and supervision help to keep them safe. The manager and staff meet regularly to discuss practice, and staff receive good support through processes such as appraisals and professional coaching sessions. These also help staff to improve their skills, such as through a range of targeted training sessions. For example, staff introduce new ideas for activities to the children, and these have a positive impact on children's involvement. This helps to build on children's confidence to meet future challenges, such as those that the school presents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a wide range of purposeful and interesting activities that help enrich children's development and experiences. Staff encourage children to make decisions on how to spend their time. Staff offer their ideas and encourage children to choose for themselves the activities that appeal to them. For example, children explore the prehistoric world, make dinosaur eggs and create bubbly concoctions that they relate to volcanoes. Staff show a genuine interest in children's play and offer encouragement to them to build on this. For example, they help to clarify children's ideas and effectively assist them by helping to extend their creativity. Children eagerly attend and take part in exciting projects that they help to initiate.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have good relationships with the children, who appear confident, happy and secure. Children learn about staying safe through daily routines and discussions. Staff fully involve children in discussions about making the club rules, which helps them play together well. Staff use these discussions well to raise children's appreciation of safe behaviour and an awareness of others. Children's health is effectively supported. For example, good outside areas and resources encourage children to take part in active play in the fresh air. Children are encouraged to follow good hygiene routines and are competent at managing their personal needs. They contribute ideas for healthy snacks and staff enable them to help themselves to a range of nutritious foods at tea time. Children further enjoy the social occasion with their friends, which helps to strengthen the friendships they make, such as at school.
