p.1

This provision is good

 Well-planned activities provide children with good opportunities to expand on their experiences at school and to make links between school and club, for example, during a daily news time shared by all.  The manager and staff provide a calm environment. Children are encouraged to respect each other and to take account of the needs of others, as well as to recognise their own needs.  Children enjoy their time at the club and have fun with the activities available. They gain confidence and independence, for example, as they make choices about where they play and what they play with.  The management team makes good use of self-evaluation to identify, and address, areas for ongoing improvement.

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The committee, manager and staff provide an out of school club which is interesting, stimulating and safe for the wide age range of children attending. The manager observes the quality of staff interactions with children. She works with the staff to ensure that they support meaningful play opportunities for all children. Staff attend training to develop their skills and to keep up to date with new ideas. Safeguarding is effective. All staff understand that they have a responsibility to protect children. Staff who are new to the setting work under the direct supervision of senior staff as they develop a thorough understanding of policies and working practices. Staff work in partnership with parents to meet the needs of individual children. For example, staff communicate with parents and with school staff to ensure that children who take part in extra-curricular activities at school arrive safely at

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff consider the needs of children at the beginning and end of the school day well, for example, the children take part in 'News Time'. This supports children to move from the school environment to the less formal out of school club environment. It gives them an opportunity to talk about their day at school and to share their special moments from the day. Staff plan a range of interesting activities for the children to choose from. For example, a wide range of junk modelling materials is available for children to explore freely. In the mornings children order their own breakfasts and learn about money by paying for their meal.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have good opportunities for physical play outdoors in all but the most inclement weather. Children decide whether they want to play indoors or outdoors and take responsibility for letting an adult know where they are. Children's movement around the environment is closely monitored by the staff to keep them safe. The children are provided with a healthy teatime snack and are encouraged to understand about why healthy eating is important. Children behave well in the club. They mix well with others of different ages and staff support all children to be respectful of the needs of others.
