p.1

This provision is good

 Staff encourage children in their play and enable them to develop their skills. Children enjoy sports and craft activities with their friends and build on their physical, social and creative skills.  The committee and manager use effective recruitment, induction and mentoring processes to check and maintain staff's ongoing suitability to work with the children.  Children understand and follow the rules of the club, and cooperate well with the staff. They are happy, settled and have developed good friendships. Their behaviour is good and children's individual achievements are celebrated.  Partnerships with parents are strong. For example, staff exchange information with parents on a daily basis, to enable them to be fully aware of children's activities and to provide continuity of children's care.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager does not involve all staff in evaluating the effectiveness of the provision to help identify further ways to build on the good provision.  During large group activities staff miss opportunities to build on children's interests to increase their engagement and enjoyment.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the children's play activities and carried out a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector spoke to a selection of parents and took their views into consideration.  The inspector spoke to staff at appropriate times during the inspection and asked questions regarding safeguarding practice and children's care.  The inspector viewed all areas of the premises used by the children.  The inspector spoke to the manager about the systems used to review and evaluate the provision.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff receive regular training so that they know how to protect children's welfare. For example, staff have completed child protection training and are confident about signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. They know how to report any concerns. Staff are well deployed and supervise children's activities to help keep them safe. The manager and deputy manager frequently observe staff as they interact and play with children. They give staff good opportunities to improve their skills through training and coaching. Staff have established effective links with the school children attend. This helps to provide children with consistency in their care and to ensure that their experiences in the club complement those they have in school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time at the club and have opportunities to participate in a good range of interesting activities such as arts and crafts and talent shows. The large outdoor area and skilled staff provide children with very good opportunities for enjoying different sports such as football. All children enjoy the activities on offer and are well occupied in activities that support their different ages and stages of development. For example, some children like planting seeds and playing outdoors, while others enjoy playing board games with staff.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff safely escort children into the club and record their attendance on arrival. Staff are good role models and teach children to treat each other with respect. They encourage positive behaviour successfully, for example by using praise and encouragement. Staff teach children good hygiene practices and enable them to develop a good awareness of their own safety. For example, staff remind children to wash their hands and highlight potential safety risks. Children enjoy healthy snacks. Children enjoy being physically active and develop their agility well, for example as they join in outdoor ball games.
