It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager and staff do not gain detailed information from the host school to further support children's developing skills while at the club.  The manager does not consistently include the views of staff, parents and children in the self-evaluation process to help identify further areas for improvement.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are aware of the procedures to follow if they have a concern regarding the safety or welfare of a child. The club has a robust system of recruitment and induction. The manager maintains checks to ensure that all those working at the club are suitable to care for children. Staff follow comprehensive policies, procedures and complete risk assessments that help protect children's welfare 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 staff's practice. Staff receive good support through processes, such as appraisals and supervision sessions. The planning of activities and events are closely monitored by the manager. She ensures that children's interests are being supported and integrated into the activities. The manager and staff have addressed the actions and recommendations from the previous inspection.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are relaxed and demonstrate that they are happy to attend the club. Children talk and play with staff confidently. Staff listen to children and value what they say. Staff use their observations of children well to plan activities that motivate them. They provide a good variety of activities for children to make choices about their play. The inside play environment is well organised and provides children with opportunities to play quietly. For example, children enjoyed the opportunity to make Easter baskets and crafts. In contrast, the staff organise games outside that are active and include children negotiating the rules and staff ensuring their safety when throwing and aiming the ball into the net. Children engage well, talking and listening as they discuss their day while colouring and sticking printed images. Staff make time and play with the children, extending children's enjoyment and skills well. Children communicate their ideas well, listen to instructions and

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The staff provide a friendly environment. They establish positive, trusting relationships with children. Staff talk to the children about their daily experiences at school. This gives children the opportunity to share any worries, concerns or achievements. Children are confident and move around the club at ease. They choose where and what to play with and demonstrate independence as they take care of their own personal needs. Older children are particularly nurturing with younger children. Staff encourage the older children to be good role models and to play cooperatively with younger children. Staff promote children's physical well-being effectively. For instance, children enjoy the physical challenges of the outdoor area and run energetically around the school playground, kicking footballs with their friends. Staff promote an awareness of healthy lifestyles. Children enjoy healthy snacks and show an awareness of how what they eat and drink
