This provision is good

 The management and the staff team work together very effectively to provide an enjoyable out of school provision where children continue to develop their skills through play. Managers and staff reflect upon what they do and want to continue to improve.  The views, opinions and ideas of children, staff and parents are sought to identify what works well and what they would like to improve. Staff create a safe environment where children have fun before and after school.  Children make independent choices. Most are enthusiastic to try new activities and games, demonstrating their increasing curiosity in the world around them.  Staff are calm and considerate to the children. Children's behaviour is typically good as most succeed in meeting the clear expectations set by staff.  A healthy lifestyle is actively encouraged. For example, children learn about good hygiene routines, enjoy healthy snacks and easy access to drinks of water. Children are

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not support all children to understand how to develop friendships with a wider range of others in the provision.  Arrangements for parents to collect children at home time are not effective enough in helping staff to keep involved in activities with those children who remain.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff complete safeguarding training and know what to do if they have concerns about a child or a member of staff. They undertake thorough risk assessments. This helps to keep children safe. Staff recruitment, supervision systems and training opportunities are well established, resulting in a committed and knowledgeable workforce. Effective systems for self-evaluation ensure careful and regular checks of all aspects of the club's practice and children's well-being. Positive relationships with parents, teachers and other professionals contribute to the staff developing a good knowledge of each child and their needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The enthusiastic staff get to know the children well and create an environment they know the children will enjoy. They make children feel important and welcome. For example, they ask children about their day and how they feel when they arrive. Staff help children develop their thinking skills, such as asking them questions about the ice as they chip away to find what is hidden inside. Children confidently talk to staff about their activities, what they are doing, or would like to do. Children quickly settle to activities that encourage their skills and imagination. For example, some children enter into role play and create stories as they play. Others persevere to complete puzzles. Staff skilfully adapt to children's individual needs and typically ensure that most children are kept busy. The broad variety of activities provided indoors and outdoors helps children to build on their skills and interests and to feel confident in their abilities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff develop good relationships with all children. Children are confident, happy and settle quickly, indicating that they feel secure and comfortable at the club. Staff develop a good knowledge of individual children's needs, interests, likes and dislikes. This helps staff to plan and guide children if they need help to use resources they enjoy. Children have good manners and are very polite to staff and visitors. Most children enjoy playing with others and thoroughly enjoy opportunities to go outside whatever the weather. For many this is their favourite play place at the club. Children take part in sports activities, learn about the importance of exercise and develop their coordination.
