This provision is good

 The strong links established with parents, schools and other professionals mean that children are offered consistency in their care and learning, including at home.  Staff are deployed effectively to keep children safe, manage tasks and promote children's learning through good routines and play activities.  Staff provide a well-planned learning environment, indoors and outdoors, that is designed to meet children's individual interests. This supports children's curiosity to play and explore and develops the skills and attitudes that promotes future learning.  Staff nurture and promote children's growing confidence in own their abilities. Children are eager and motivated to play and explore and keen to try new things.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The programme of professional development, staff monitoring and supervision is not always highly targeted to ensure that staff skills are consistently promoted.  The management team does not maximise opportunities to focus precisely on driving ongoing improvements across the club. This includes more actively seeking the views of parents to help set challenging development plans.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a robust understanding of child protection issues and understand their responsibilities in keeping children safe. Most staff hold a relevant childcare qualification. This has a positive impact on the quality of teaching. For example, staff know how to adapt activities to capture children's curiosity and provide them with interesting and challenging experiences. Detailed assessments are completed and shared with parents and schools. They are used to promptly identify any gaps in children's learning and provide focused support. Parents say the friendly staff help children to make friends, settle in quickly and children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan the environment effectively to provide a broad range of stimulating activities to provide all children with interest and challenge. Children of all ages play together cooperatively. They enjoy practising their physical skills and they climb and balance on the large play equipment and play ball games. Children show good imaginative skills and they use a range of tools and materials to make their own creations. Staff use effective strategies, such as, demonstrating, modelling, providing ideas and guidance as children play. They encourage children to be critical thinkers and promote mathematical skills, such as matching and sorting. Children's communication and language skills are promoted well throughout the session. For example, staff model language, ask questions and engage children in purposeful dialogue. Children are confident talkers. They enjoy sharing their experiences and expressing their own ideas and opinions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's physical and emotional well-being is supported well. Staff provide a warm and friendly welcome and establish a strong bond and attachment with children. This helps children to settle in quickly. Staff provide an environment that promotes children's self- care and independence skills well. Children take responsibility for hanging up their coats and belongings when they arrive and wash their hands independently before eating. They are keen to volunteer to carry out small tasks and help tidy away activities. Children show a growing understanding of how to make healthy choices and keep themselves safe. They are eager to join in activities and make new friends. Staff are good role models and give children reminders of expectations. Children play cooperatively together and behave very well. They show kindness and consideration to each other. Children have fun at the club and are motivated to play and learn.
