p.1

This provision is good

 The management team is highly reflective and has a strong drive to improve. It has addressed the previous actions and recommendations effectively, making significant improvements to the camp. For example, a register of attendance is completed showing arrival and departure times of all children to keep them safe.  Children learn to manage their behaviour well. They play cooperatively together and develop positive attitudes towards others.  Children easily choose a wide range of toys and resources that suit their ages and individual interests. All activities are planned around the areas of learning and help children to progress well and complement their learning in school.  Staff receive good ongoing support from the management team. For example, they have regular staff meetings, training and effective appraisal and supervision meetings.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children do not receive the best possible support to understand and respect the similarities and differences between themselves and others.  At times, staff do not make the most of opportunities to share information with parents about their children's day and the achievements they have made.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have attended safeguarding training and have a good understanding of how to keep children safe and the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's well-being. Management implements safe procedures for recruiting staff, including checking their suitability, and provides an in-depth induction process. Staff work in partnership with other professionals at the host school to provide consistency and good care, including for children who have special educational needs. Overall, staff work well with parents. For example, they collect information from parents before children start and provide regular opportunities for parents to give feedback on the service provided. The manager and staff regularly reflect on their practice and collect feedback from parents, staff and children to make sustainable improvements that benefit the children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well, what they enjoy doing and their capabilities. They engage children effectively in a range of activities and sensitively support them in developing new skills. Staff make use of children's play to encourage their communication and language skills. For example, staff engage in meaningful conversations with children and give them plenty of time to express their views. Children listen carefully and follow simple instructions well. Staff successfully build on what children learn at school. For example, staff engage children in group games where they learn to take turns and develop their number language. Children have plenty of opportunities to express their imagination and creativity. For example, they enjoy painting firework pictures using a range of tools and resources.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. The positive interaction from staff helps children to settle well. Children are confident and show that they feel safe and secure. Staff listen and talk with children about their day at school and ask them what they would like to do at the club. Staff support children's health effectively. For example, children eat healthy snacks and discuss what foods are good for them. Children enjoy being outside. They have fun engaging in a wide variety of games and activities while benefitting from opportunities to develop their physical skills. Children have plenty of opportunities to develop their independence skills. For example, at snack time, they help prepare their own sandwiches and have a wide range of fillings to choose from. Children are kind, considerate and well-mannered. Staff act as positive role models, giving children plenty of praise and encouragement to help develop their self-esteem.
