It is not yet outstanding because:

 The system for staff supervision is not yet sharply focused enough on raising the quality of practice and performance to the highest level.  Staff have not yet considered how to help children self-regulate their time when using popular activities to ensure that all children who show an interest are able to participate.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Clear policies, procedures and risk assessments are in place and implemented well by staff. There are robust recruitment and vetting procedures in place. The setting is safe and secure. Overall, staff are supported by the manager and encouraged to undertake further training relevant to their job role, such as child protection and first aid. The manager works directly with children and this generally provides a useful insight into the quality of staff practice. She holds regular supervision sessions with all staff during which they discuss future learning opportunities for children and areas for improvement. Effective partnerships with parents make a strong contribution to meeting the needs of children. Parents hold the provision in high regard and express how much their children enjoy attending the club. Communication between the school and club is well developed. The manager links with the nursery and foundation

stage teachers to support children's learning and progress. Self-evaluation is used well. The manager welcomes the views of staff, parents and children to help plan improvements within the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are motivated and eager to learn, they join in activities with enthusiasm and enjoy their time in the setting. The children are encouraged to be independent in their learning and are able to choose whether they want to play indoors or outdoors. They benefit from being included in decisions, such as planning the weekly activities. This supports children to take ownership and they display pride in the club. Children recognise the initial letter of their name and know the sound of the letter. Staff intervene appropriately to offer praise and encouragement, this supports the development of self- confidence and encourages children to persevere when faced with a challenge. Children show high levels of concentration during activities. For example, an older child carefully reads the instructions and confidently follows the process to complete an electronic circuit. Children's creativity is promoted well because resources are freely available for children to

independently access. A group of girls describe in great detail their plans to make dresses for their dolls.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The staff know the children very well, consequently the children approach staff about their needs. This positive adult interaction helps to develop children's confidence and self- esteem. Children behave extremely well, they are encouraged to behave in a positive and respectful manner. Children play very well together and it is good to see the older children supporting younger children in their play. Relationships are strong at all levels and children are learning to respect each others' differences. Children are encouraged to learn the importance of basic personal hygiene. The children pour their own drinks and can help themselves to healthy snacks, this effectively promotes their independence. Children have access to a secure outdoor area which provides them with daily opportunities so they can enjoy the fresh air, and take part in activities that help them to expend their energy. Children demonstrate good levels of understanding about how to keep themselves safe,

listening carefully to adult instructions and following well-established safety rules.
