This provision is good

 The management team and staff have a range of qualifications and varying experience working within the education profession. This has a positive impact on the variety of activities they provide for children on a daily basis.  Children who require additional support have their needs met very well. Staff work closely with their parents and outside agencies to ensure they have the same fun opportunities.  Children of all ages play well alongside each other. Older children often invite the younger children to join in their games. They are caring towards them and demonstrate positive role model qualities.  Parents report very positively on the high quality of the club. They feel their children thoroughly enjoy their time there and that staff are friendly and very approachable.  The management team completes a process of self-evaluation. They use comments from staff and reviews from parents and children to contribute to this process. Self-

evaluation is accurate and details plans help to drive the service forward. This has been beneficial as the provider and manager have adapted some aspects of practice.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Opportunities for younger children to build new social groups with children of a similar age are not promoted as well as possible.  The organisation of activities outdoors is, sometimes, not well thought out. Children playing on bikes often ride around freely which at times can disturb the flow of group games.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team leads a staff team who is organised and meets the needs of all children at this very busy club. There are well-detailed policies and procedures in place to help staff understand their roles and deliver high-quality play experiences. The management team has a system in place to monitor staff practice and sets targets for future professional development. For example, staff are beginning to observe each others' interactions with children and share their evaluations. Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff have a good understanding of current child protection issues. These include the use of mobile phones in the club, children's use of computers and internet safety. Staff have received safeguarding training and are aware of the local procedures to follow if they had concerns about a child's welfare. Systems for safe recruitment are in place and ongoing staff suitability checks are completed. These

procedures contribute to staff creating a safe and welcoming space for children to play.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use the evaluations children complete from the previous holiday club to plan a timetable of activities they will be interested in and enjoy. The activities are shared with parents and children at the earliest opportunity. This helps children begin to be excited about returning to the club time and time again. Children talk with excitement about up and coming activities, such as bush tucker trials, making mocktails and the inflatables in the jungle. Staff encourage children to build on their 'have a go' attitudes and learn new skills, supported by interactions from staff as they play alongside them. Staff teach children the rules of traditional games, such as cricket, football and rounders. Children delight in scoring the winning goal, catching the ball in the field and learning good team building skills. Indoors, children have opportunities to be creative, building on their existing skills. They skilfully make models of well-known television characters using plastic

bricks. Children use a variety of tools and resources to create their colourful pictures. They are confident in using information technology, such as computers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Many of the staff have worked at the club consistently over the years. This offers children familiarity and helps establish attachments. All younger children have a 'buddy' who gets to know them, their interests and likes and dislikes. This helps support children's emotional well-being. All children display bags of confidence as they arrive at the club and often forget to say goodbye to their parents. Children's opportunities to be physically active are very good. They enjoy playing out in all weathers. Children are very familiar with the daily routine and have good opportunities to develop their independence and self- help skills. Children are encouraged to eat healthily. They bring their packed lunches and the contents of these are guided by staff as part of the club's healthy eating routines. Children wash their hands before eating, showing they have adopted good hygiene habits. Children's behaviour is good. They are kind and polite to each other and the staff. Older

children are guided to solve minor squabbles. This helps them begin to manage their own feelings and behaviours.
