This provision is good

 The manager and registered person are dedicated and hard working. Since the previous inspection, they have made good progress to improve the overall quality of the club, and all statutory requirements are now met.  Partnerships with parents are effective. Staff share information with parents when they collect their children and pass on information from school teachers. Parents are very complimentary about the care their children receive. They say that their children are cared for extremely well.  Security is good. Potential risks within all areas used by children are identified and minimised. Staff fully understand their role and responsibility in safeguarding children.  Staff provide a range of interesting activities based around children's interests which complements learning taking place at school. Children's creative ideas are enhanced and encouraged through the various art and craft materials and resources provided.

This provision is good

 Children build very good relationships with staff and children of all ages. Their health and well-being are given high priority by staff. Children enjoy healthy snacks and develop good social skills as they play.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The evaluation of practice is not always used well enough to identify specific targets for improvement that would drive up the quality of the provision even further.  Professional development opportunities focus on mandatory training rather than prioritising areas that will enhance staff's overall practice.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities and the procedures for protecting children. Arrangements are in place to ensure staff maintain their awareness of safeguarding and first-aid procedures. Staff are deployed well and children are supervised effectively. Robust recruitment procedures are in place to help ensure the suitability of staff. Children are well supported in gaining the skills needed to help them to be confident in school. The manager and staff meet regularly to discuss practice. Staff receive good support through processes, such as supervision and coaching sessions.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their experience and skills well. They provide a wide range of opportunities, interact warmly with the children and effectively encourage them to participate in the routines and activities of the club. Children enter the club eagerly and soon become busy. They demonstrate that they thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. Children chat amongst themselves about their experiences at school as they play with their chosen activity. The majority of children's play develops spontaneously and staff follow their lead sensitively. Staff sit with children and talk to them about what they are doing, helping expand their communication and language skills. They have lively conversations as children exchange ideas and describe what they are making. The good variety of activities available helps to support skills for children's future learning. Key persons observe and monitor children and help promote their interests. Staff plan a good range of outings into

the local community during the school holidays. This positively helps children develop an awareness of the wider world around them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff use the information from parents to help make sure children's individual needs and requirements are met. This supports children to settle quickly into the setting and provides good continuity of care. Staff promote children's independence skills well. Children are encouraged to follow good hygiene routines and are competent at managing their personal needs. Staff regularly involve children in the decision-making process of the club. Children help to devise the club rules and demonstrate a very good understanding of staff expectations. Older children are positive role models. They include younger children in their conversations and games. Staff encourage children to be respectful towards others and to recognise their own unique qualities. Children learn to develop an awareness of safety through discussions and activities. This helps them to understand about keeping safe in the community. Confidence and self-esteem are promoted well through the praise

and encouragement children receive from staff. Children have regular opportunities to be active and thoroughly enjoy using the school's outdoor facilities.
