It is not yet outstanding because:

 The management team does not consistently use the self-evaluation processes in the most effective way. Targets for future improvement are not yet clear to all those working in the club to help enhance the quality of the provision as far as possible.  The management team does not make the most of all opportunities to extend staff's professional development. It does not build on staff's knowledge and skills ambitiously enough to raise the quality of their practice to the highest level.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The management team has a good overview of the activities and experiences provided. It takes account of children's interests and reflects on what is provided to ensure they are continually inspired to join in. Children continue to develop all the key skills required to progress well at school and be successful in their future learning. Staff offer children a well-balanced mix of child initiated and adult-led play to help build on their learning. Children enjoy being creative. Children spend time playing with small-world dinosaurs or dressing up and playing with the baby dolls. Children use language well to develop their games and enhance their pretend play. This builds further on their good communication and language skills. Staff encourage children to look closely at the environment and care for living things. Children are keen to help with planting and watering fruits and vegetables. This helps to build further on their understanding of the natural world. Staff
