It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children are not provided with enough opportunities to play outdoors.  Staff are not always clear enough with children about what is expected of them. Sometimes, routine daily activities, such as snack time, do not run as smoothly as possible to enable children to fully contribute and take part.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The leadership and management have made improvements since the last inspection. Key- person information is displayed on the parent noticeboard and contributions by staff are included in the club's self-evaluation. Safeguarding is effective. Staff complete regular training to maintain awareness of how to protect children in their care. They are knowledgeable about the possible signs of different types of child abuse. Staff clearly understand how to report any concerns that arise. Collection and arrival times are well managed, so that children are safe. A secure entry system is in place and the identity of visitors is checked before entry. Effective recruitment and induction procedures ensure that new staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities. Regular observations and supervisions of staff enable the provider to evaluate the quality of their performance. Staff work closely with the other settings operated by the same provider to share good practice

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff team knows the children well. Staff talk to parents and children during initial settling-in periods to find out about their likes and interests. Records completed on induction ensure staff have a detailed knowledge of children's individual needs and preferences. The play environment is welcoming and stimulating. Staff take children's interests into account when providing activities or experiences. Staff are attentive and spend time supporting children in their play. Children use their imaginations, delighting in visiting the pretend hairdressers. Children concentrate as they build models or use threading and sewing resources. Children enjoy arts and craft activities. Younger children excitedly make shapes with coloured dough. Children make independent choices at the club about what they want to do. Older children support younger children to join in. Staff actively engage in children's play, they interact and help them to play together well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children continue to build on and further enhance the skills they need for their future learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have a good understanding of keeping healthy and safe. Staff supervise children well to keep them safe. Children's emotional well-being is well supported. Staff provide a warm and welcoming environment where children can relax and have fun. Children form positive, trusting and secure relationships with staff. They receive praise for their achievements and are guided by staff to respect their peers and maintain a good level of behaviour. Children are encouraged to take care of their personal belongings. They develop a sense of responsibility, competently tidying away resources and helping themselves to drinks. Children's personal, social and emotional development are supported well and they demonstrate that they feel safe and secure. Children are encouraged to follow appropriate hygiene routines. They are provided with nutritious and healthy snacks.
