It is not yet outstanding because:

 Systems for reviewing staff professional development are not focused well enough to raise the good quality of staff interactions with children as high as possible.  Occasionally, staff do not make the most of information gained from parents about their children's interests and achievements at home in order to provide higher levels of motivation and challenge.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have undertaken safeguarding training. They thoroughly understand the procedures to take should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The nominated person follows safe recruitment and staff vetting procedures. This helps to ensure that all staff are suitable to care for children. Staff implement effective risk assessments, which alongside close supervision, help children to feel safe and secure. The nominated person and staff work effectively together. They are enthusiastic about improving their childcare knowledge and the provision they offer children. The nominated person has recently implemented staff peer reviews to help maintain and improve the quality of teaching practice. Additionally, staff attend local authority network meetings. This helps them to keep up to date with changes in legislation and identify where further improvements can be made.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children arrive at the club happy and eager to engage in the activities set out. Staff attentively listen to children, they are interested in finding out about their day at school and what they have enjoyed doing. Staff involve children in the planning of club activities. Children confidently tell staff what they would like to play with and inform them about what they are learning at school. Staff use this information well to plan activities that extend children's learning. Children are self-assured in their speech and interactions with others. They speak clearly, follow instructions well, and give detailed explanations connecting their own thoughts and ideas. For example, they use good design and technology skills as they create dogs, body armour, and helmets from sticking cardboard boxes together. The children explain how they have joined the boxes. They demonstrate good thinking skills as they suggest various solutions of how to stop their cardboard dog

from falling over. Staff praise children's achievements well. They are supportive of all children and give younger and quieter children any additional one-to-one support they require. This helps them to form close attachments to other children and boosts their self- esteem well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle very quickly in this small, friendly, and welcoming club. The calming atmosphere and routines give children the time to relax, to be creative and physically active. Staff act as good role models, showing empathy and respect for others. They effectively build on children's understanding about people and communities beyond their own immediate experiences. Children have a strong sense of belonging. They are self- assured young people who embrace responsibility. For example, older children thoughtfully help and play with their younger friends. Furthermore, all children happily help staff with small tasks, such as serving snacks and tidying up. Staff provide a variety of hot and cold nutritious snacks. Children have access to drinking water at all times. They know they need to drink more water in warmer weather and after exercise. They understand that it is important to wash their hands after sneezing and before eating.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very independent and demonstrate a good knowledge of how to keep themselves fit and healthy.
