This provision is good

 Staff complement children's learning from school well. They provide a range of activities for children to engage in. Staff liaise closely with teachers and parents to share children's achievements.  Children make good use of the outdoor space for active play. They eagerly take part in group games, ball games and climbing. This helps to further children's physical well- being.  Children are confident and behave well. For example, they join in to tidy away resources, help set tables for mealtimes and learn to play cooperatively together.  The manager evaluates the effectiveness of the club. She values the views of parents, children and staff to help identify areas for further improvement.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although staff plan and provide a range of activities, there are fewer opportunities for children to make further choices about what to play with during the session.  Staff do not make the most of all opportunities to help children develop their understanding for the similarities and differences of people in their local community and the wider world.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff attend safeguarding training to help them keep updated with current legislation and guidance. They have a clear understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The manager and staff carry out thorough risk assessments to help make sure children play in safe environments. Effective recruitment and vetting processes check the suitability of staff to work with children. Policies and procedures are implemented effectively to maintain the good quality of the provision. The manager monitors staff performance well to support their ongoing development. For example, she holds regular supervision meetings and provides mentoring and coaching to help extend their practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff establish good links with teachers. This helps staff to plan and deliver meaningful activities that complement their learning in school. For example, following on from their learning about animals in school, children then use different materials to make animals. Staff talk with children and take time to listen to their responses. This helps to support children's language skills and encourages their further contribution. Staff develop good relationships with parents. They keep parents regularly updated about their children's experiences at the club. All children play well together and develop good levels of cooperation, self-control and respect for others. Staff give lots of praise to children's participation and achievements. This helps to build their confidence and self-esteem.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming and friendly environment. They know the children well and encourage their emotional development successfully. For example, they greet children individually and take time to find out about their school day. Children's good health is supported well. For example, they have plenty of opportunities to take part in physical activities. Children enjoy healthy meals and serve themselves drinks. Children have fun and develop their negotiation and coordination skills. For example, they join in with a range of games and create their own rules. Children move confidently around the club. They learn to share, take turns and manage their own behaviour.
