This provision is good

 The manager and staff have addressed the areas identified for improvement at the last inspection. They continually evaluate the provision, accurately identify things they do well and consider comments from parents and children. This contributes to any future changes and improvements that are made in the club.  The club is well organised and resourced, with a range of exciting and interesting equipment which is easily accessible to children. Children display good levels of motivation and concentrate for long periods of time.  Staff ask children suitable questions, share ideas and extend children's vocabulary. Furthermore, staff and children exchange compliments and show interest in what each other have to say. This supports children's emotional well-being.  Children's behaviour is good. They form good friendships and play well together. Children show each other respect, display good manners and adhere to their self-made

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The monitoring procedures for staff performance are relatively new and do not yet fully focus on the quality of practice.  Staff do not obtain enough detailed information from the host school, so that they can fully complement children's individual learning even further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The well-qualified staff work together to provide a secure environment. They attend additional training to support their knowledge further to deliver good learning experiences to children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities and the procedures for protecting children. The provider carries out checks to ensure all staff and anybody in contact with children in their care are suitable. Staff are vigilant and supervise the children well. Policies are implemented consistently and practices are regularly reviewed. Parents comment that they are happy with the service provided and children are enthusiastic to share their views and explain that they have fun at the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interact well with the children and make the most of opportunities to build on their skills and develop their confidence. Children enjoy looking at educational books that provide them with information about different countries. This leads to them drawing, replicating and discussing the differences in flags around the world. Staff acknowledge children's interests and support them by planning appropriate activities. For example, staff guide those who show an interest in time. They pair this with the promotion of children's physical skills and plan an assault course. Children show determination as they skip, jump, hop and run in short spaces of time. This further promotes their social skills as older children support the younger children, work as a team and help them to understand the rules as they play. Children blow bubbles and experiment with the liquid and the use of different equipment. Younger children watch as older children demonstrate how this is

done, then they are encouraged to have a go. This extends children's knowledge of how and why things work and increases their awareness of size and shape.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children make good relationships with staff. They are happy and enjoy attending the welcoming club. They settle in well and follow a familiar routine. All children are involved with activity planning and take part in group votes. This strengthens children's ability to make decisions. They learn the importance of compromising with each other and develop a strong sense of belonging. Older children are thoughtful to the needs of the younger children and actively engage them in their play. Children develop good independence skills. They help themselves to the healthy, nutritious snacks available and carry out self- care routines with confidence, such as putting on and removing their shoes. Staff promote good hygiene procedures to children as they remind them of the importance of washing their hands before touching food and after the use of the toilet. This supports children's understanding of leading a healthy lifestyle.
