This provision is good

 The manager and staff have effective links with the schools that children attend. This helps them to complement children's learning that takes place at school.  The club has a calm and inviting atmosphere. Children laugh, play and invite staff into their games as they genuinely have fun together. Children show that they feel secure in the club and are developing strong and positive relationships with the staff.  Staff routinely record all accidents and share them with parents. They monitor these records, in order to maintain children's well-being.  Staff provide a healthy and varied range of snacks. Children independently help themselves to drinks throughout the session.  Recruitment procedures are robust and help to ensure the suitability of all staff. Deployment of staff is good and this enables staff to provide children with vigilant supervision at all times.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always consider different ways to support and encourage children who are less confident to become fully involved.  The systems for professional development do not focus sharply enough on raising the quality of staff's practice to the highest level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a secure knowledge of the possible signs of abuse. They know what action to take if they are concerned about children's welfare. The manager ensures that all staff are updated about any changes in legislation. Detailed risks assessments are carried out and toys and equipment are checked each day as staff set up the premises. The premises is safe and secure. Regular fire evacuation procedures are carried out with children. Children are involved in keeping the premises clean and tidy. They use electrical appliances, such as a vacuum cleaner and staff model how to plug it in safely. This helps children to learn about protecting their own safety. Parents speak highly about staff and the activities children are provided with.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and experienced. They work well together and share observations they make of the children, recognising their likes and interests. This helps them to provide a wide range of resources and activities that offers suitable challenge to support children's next steps in learning. Children particularly enjoy drawing and writing using different tools and equipment. This helps them to continue to develop their skills. There are many opportunities for children to use technology. Older children enjoy playing handheld games while other children relax on sofas and watch television. A favourite activity is running the daily tuck shop which they take in turns to run. Children bring with them small amounts of money to buy items, including cereal bars and sweets. They are encouraged to add up the quantity and calculate how much change is needed. Children develop a good understanding of the value of money. Generally, staff interact positively with children,

giving their full attention and responding with interest to children's comments. Children concentrate well and are deeply engaged in their chosen activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children mix well across the age ranges. Their understanding of differences in society is promoted well and staff tackle any unfair behaviour sensitively. Children are involved in devising the rules of the club and staff listen to, value and respond to their views and opinions. Children are happy and settled and their emotional well-being is well supported. The settling-in sessions are very much tailored to each individual child and they can attend sessions before they start, if required. The effective key-person system helps to keep parents informed of their children's experiences at the club. For example, staff routinely record observations of children's achievements and share these with parents. Children enjoy a good variety of physical outdoor activities and get lots of fresh air. For example, they have fun as they play together with balls and hoops and participate in various sports and parachute games. Children benefit from regular opportunities to be physically active

indoors, such as when using the music and movement room.
