This provision is good

 Children benefit from a welcoming play environment where they feel safe and secure. They settle well into activities and make friends. Their behaviour is good.  Staff work well with parents. Parents comment on how satisfied they are with the good care and service that they and their children receive from the attentive staff.  Children have access to very interesting opportunities to be imaginative in their play. For example, they enjoy re-creating their favourite stories and add information they have remembered about their friends' favourite characters and events.  Children have many good opportunities to learn how to keep themselves safe, such as learning about road safety when they travel from school to the centre.  Leaders have successfully met the action and recommendation made at the last inspection, and they have made other worthwhile changes to raise the standard of provision. They provide useful ongoing support and training for staff. They regularly

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not provide children with rich experiences to broaden their understanding of the world around them, particularly in relation to different people and their communities.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities in all parts of the out-of-school club provision, including the outdoor area.  The inspector spoke to members of staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection, and held meetings with the members of the management team.  The inspector took account of the parents' views.  The inspector looked at children's records, planning documentation and the provider's policies and procedures, including those related to the suitability of staff.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager plans activities with staff, offers guidance and monitors their performance closely through regular observations of their interactions with children. Safeguarding is effective. The provider conducts thorough vetting checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding practices. There are thorough risk assessments, and daily checks of the premises and resources to keep children safe. Staff make good use of their qualifications and training, for example, to support and improve children's social skills. Staff seek the views of parents, children and others to continually improve their service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan and provide a range of stimulating activities that interest children and keep them purposefully engaged. Children show good levels of focus, concentrating on their chosen activity for an extended time. For example, they enjoy taking an active part in a guessing game to describe their favourite character and consider others' views. Children enjoy creative experiences, for example, experimenting with paint and creating imaginative pictures. Staff support children's existing skills, such as their understanding of value for money. They interact well with children. They act on children's suggestions, such as those gained through discussions. Staff establish good relationships with parents and regularly share information about children's activities with them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff encourage good behaviour consistently. Children learn to share resources fairly, take turns and express their ideas and feelings freely. Children mix well and play together in harmony. They include their friends in activities, such as taking part in a number game. Staff help children to adopt healthy eating habits effectively; for example, they provide healthy food and help children to name many fruits and vegetables. Children willingly take on responsibilities, such as serving themselves and tidying up resources independently. They benefit from regular fresh air and enjoy exercise, for instance, when playing football. They show good awareness of others around them, showing that they know how to play safely. Staff help to develop children's awareness of safety well in other ways. They help children to handle resources and tools with care, and children learn to evacuate the centre quickly and calmly in case of an emergency.
