This provision is good

 Staff use effective communication systems to share information between the club, parents and the schools, to meet children's individual needs well.  Children show that they are very happy and settled, and enjoy their time at the holiday club. They share positive relationships with staff and the other children.  Staff observe children and plan a good range of engaging and exciting activities that reflect their interests. Children continue to learn well outside of school.  Staff establish their roles as key persons well, to enable children to form secure attachments and support their emotional well-being.  The manager regularly reviews the quality of the provision and children's experiences. She welcomes feedback from staff, parents and children to help identify areas for improvement.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not regularly extend opportunities for children to develop a positive awareness and understanding of people, families and communities beyond those familiar to them.  At times, staff do not take all opportunities to encourage children to do things for themselves, to further develop their independence.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff demonstrate that they have a secure understanding of how to safeguard children in their care. Rigorous recruitment procedures are in place, which ensures adults working with the children are suitably checked. Good procedures enable the manager to monitor the ongoing suitability of staff. Staff are supported well to regularly identify clear goals and training needs. Parents speak highly of the club and staff. They comment positively on the variety of activities on offer, such as the trips and outings available during the school holidays. Staff meet the needs of children who have special educational needs well, in partnership with schools, parents and external agencies. Recommendations made at the last inspection have been met. A good range of creative resources is freely on offer for children to choose from independently. Children enjoy using the quiet space regularly as they relax and read books together.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide stimulating and challenging activities for children of all ages and make learning enjoyable. For example, staff expertly introduce mathematics into play as they push the swings in the park. Staff develop children's imaginations and vocabulary as they pretend that the roundabout is a train stopping at various stations. Staff celebrate children's achievements and praise them highly for their obvious care for the younger children and when completing activities. Children enjoy coming to the club as staff enthusiastically interact and engage with them to extend or challenge their play. For example, they encourage children's thinking skills and memory when playing card games with them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Relationships between older children and those in the early years age range are very positive. All children are motivated and play harmoniously together; sharing and taking turns with games. Children's behaviour is good. They follow club rules well and are reminded of these by the staff as they play. Children are attentive listeners and show continuous respect for each other. Staff share messages with children consistently about staying safe, such as when they play on the physical equipment in the park. Staff undertake daily risk assessments and ongoing checks to ensure that the club is safe and secure. Children follow good hygiene routines and are independent in addressing their personal care needs. They enjoy daily outdoor play opportunities. They regularly visit the adjacent park and play in the large school playground.
