This provision is good

 Leaders have made rapid improvement since the last inspection. Training and development opportunities have had a positive impact on staff's practise. They are now fully aware of their roles and responsibilities in reporting concerns about children, and the procedures to follow in the event of a concern being made.  Children eagerly join in with a wealth of rewarding activities which reflect their different abilities, interests and ways of learning. Staff support and praise children for their efforts as they confidently make choices and try new experiences.  Children are well behaved. They are polite, caring and have formed close relationships with those that care for them and each other. As a result, all children quickly develop a sense of belonging and grow in confidence.  The manager and staff have very effective links with the school. They have a good understanding of children's needs and complement their learning at school. Parents and

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The way in which staff performance is managed through supervision does not focus sharply enough on raising practice to the highest level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager works closely with the school and families to ensure that the welfare of children is of the highest priority. Staff carry out regular risk assessments and encourage children to be involved, therefore learning to keep themselves safe. Staff provide a warm and welcoming environment where children say they have good friendships with staff and each other. Parents comment on how much their children enjoy attending the club and how effectively they support the transitions into secondary school. A good range of policies and procedures underpins the effective recruitment and selection process which ensures new staff are suitable. The manager and the other key person working with younger children are well qualified and knowledgeable about the Early Years Foundation Stage. This enables them to support younger children's learning, in partnership with the school and parents.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children have fun and enjoy their time at the club. Staff are positive role models. They observe and plan well so that every child is offered a variety of opportunities to build on what they already know and can do. Children enjoy making models and creating new games; they enjoy the outside play area and make up their own interesting physical activities. Children enjoy using their imagination as they take part in a wide range of art and craft activities. They build a rocket out of cardboard boxes and think about how they will paint it the next day. Children are excited as they investigate a problem set by their teachers in school. They work cooperatively with each other, questioning each other and the staff to come up with a solution. Children talk excitedly about what they are looking forward to when they move on to secondary school. They enjoy the social aspects of the club, sharing the highlights of their school day with the staff and their friends, recounting

their achievements. Staff make links to previous discussions with children as they ask about events that children and their families have planned for the weekend. This stimulates more discussion, offering younger children suitable opportunities to expand their language, confidence and conversation skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's emotional well-being is promoted effectively. Staff establish strong relationships with them and their families from the outset. Parents are asked for detailed information about their children's care needs. This helps staff support them to settle quickly into the club. Children respect each other and remind each other of the importance of sharing and taking turns during activities. Children have daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise. They develop their coordination skills as they join in with a wide range of ball games, play on the challenging balance beam and rope swings. They eat a good range of healthy and nutritious snacks. Children independently serve their food, choose their fruit and vegetable snack and pour their own drinks. They have their own chalk board where they can express their own views and extend activities that they have started in school.
