p.1

This provision is good

 Children behave well and know the club rules. For example, they quote and practise the three Rs of being 'Reliable, Respectful and Responsible'.  Staff have good partnerships with parents. They exchange valuable information about the care of children to provide consistency and support safety.  Staff engage well with the children during play and are very supportive and encouraging.  Reflection and evaluation feature strongly across the staff team, who appreciate the positive impact this has on their provision. For example, staff have daily meetings before and after the session, weekly feedback from the children and termly feedback from parents. The manager and staff effectively use the findings to make improvements for the children's time at the club.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always organise the environment to provide an area where children are able to sit quietly and rest if needed.  Staff sometimes miss opportunities to complement children's experiences in school to help them build further on their existing skills.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues and they know how to recognise and report any concerns. The staff are supported well by the manager. For example, they have individual and team meetings to discuss practice issues and update their knowledge. Recruitment procedures are effective, and induction processes help staff to develop a secure understanding of their role and responsibilities. Staff attend training to keep their skills and knowledge up to date, including first aid training and relevant training to support children's play and activities. Parents really like the club. They speak highly of the friendly but professional staff and the good range of activities that the children enjoy and tell them about.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children arrive from school with enthusiasm, ready to find out what there is to do. They find their friends to sit with and include staff in their chatter. Children enjoy being creative, such as making collages and bracelets. Staff give children choices about what they do, offering a selection of games and activities that they have previously requested. Some games include children of all ages together, such as a counting game which they can join in as equals. Older children happily help younger children during some activities, showing care and responsibility.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's good health and well-being. For example, they provide children with fresh, healthy snacks and the opportunity to play active games outside most days. Staff are good role models. They respect children's views and feelings and encourage them to develop good friendships and to be kind and thoughtful. Children settle well at the club and know the routine and what is expected of them. For example, they know that staff will ask them for their opinion about the activities that are planned. Staff keep children safe, such as by providing high-visibility clothing for the walk from school and observing road safety rules. They explain to children about why some actions are not sensible to raise their understanding of possible consequences.
