p.1

This provision is good

 Staff establish good relationships with parents, who comment on the good service they receive. Staff and parents share relevant information and staff meet children's needs well.  Children develop close and friendly relationships with staff, who are good role models to children. All children display high levels of confidence and self-esteem.  The provider uses her newly gained knowledge from training and shares this with staff, which helps to improve their childcare practice. For example, she has offered in-house training on supporting children's play and learning outdoors.  The provider evaluates practice well and is on-site daily to observe and assess both children's and staff's needs. She requests feedback from parents and children and works with local authority advisers to help to effectively target areas for improvement.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always organise the indoor environment and resources effectively to help further excite and stimulate children's interest.  Occasionally, staff miss opportunities to discuss with children the effects on their well- being of eating healthily, to help develop their understanding further.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff update their safeguarding knowledge on a regular basis to help reinforce their understanding of procedures. They know how to identify any concerns about a child's welfare and how to contact the local authority safeguarding agencies immediately to refer any concerns. All staff are securely vetted to help ensure their suitability to work with children. Staff use risk assessments well to help minimise potential hazards in the environment on trips and when collecting children from school and walking back to the club. Staff are well deployed and support children's safety efficiently. The management team provides staff with effective support to understand their roles and responsibilities. For example, managers offer daily guidance and support effective teamwork and a happy environment for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children thoroughly enjoy taking part in outside activities. There are good systems in place to observe and assess children's starting abilities and progress. Children make their own decisions, are responsible and follow their own interests. For example, children extend their physical skills as they use speed, coordination and skill playing football in the large field. They share and take turns, are competitive, sociable and are mindful of safety as they play. Children absorb themselves in play with their friends; for example, they stand in water and splash about enjoying cooling down in the hot summer sun. They search and explore the natural environment outside. They dig and plant and handle the soil to help them understand the world around them and how things grow.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff organise routines well. Children have good opportunities to rest if they need to, eat nutritious food, play and have fun. Children are independent and attend to their own needs. Children are involved in decision-making and staff listen to them, helping to meet their physical and emotional needs well. Children behave well. Staff encourage children to discuss and debate the ground rules for the club, to help them understand and easily follow them. Staff encourage children to continue discussing themes they are learning at school. For example, staff talk about current festivals being celebrated at school and reinforce these at the club, to help children learn to be positive about others. Staff have good links with the school that they collect children from. They share relevant information to help to develop continuous care.
