This provision is good

 The manager and staff have effective monitoring systems in place to help identify any gaps in development early and implement a plan for the appropriate support.  The manager and staff know the children very well and use this knowledge effectively to adapt activities for children with differing abilities.  All staff have a good understanding of each child's development including those with special educational needs and those learning English as an additional language. Children make good progress in their learning from their starting points.  Children develop good communication and language skills and staff effectively extend their vocabulary. For example, when doing a craft activity staff used the word 'split-pin' to introduce new words.  The manager and staff support children's well-being effectively. For example, children receive meaningful praise to build on their developing self-esteem.  Staff develop caring attachments with children. Children chat confidently with staff, and

smile and are happy as they play. They play cooperatively together.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The manager and staff do not make parents fully aware of how they can further extend their children's development at home.  On occasions, staff do not make the most of daily routines to support children's involvement and enjoyment and so that they do not have to sit waiting passively.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff know what to do if they have a concern about children's welfare and who to contact. Partnerships with the school are effective. For example, the staff speak daily to teachers about any concerns or issues that may have arisen during the day and share children's learning and development information. This helps to ensure there is good communication between the school and the club, and provide children with continuity in their care and development. The manager is supportive and helps staff improve their practice. She keeps them up to date with any legislative changes, including recent changes to safeguarding matters, such as the indicators that children are at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas. She provides staff with effective training. For example, staff extended their knowledge of child protection after attending safeguarding training. The manager effectively evaluates the setting. She frequently seeks

the views of both children and parents to initiate improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a wide range of interesting toys, resources and equipment. Children focus and engage in activities for long periods. Children develop their knowledge of mathematics during their play. For example, children explored cornflour and water, making patterns and shapes in the mixture. Staff support children in their growing confidence and independence. For example, they encourage children to put their own cutlery and plates out at snack time. Staff teach children effectively about disability and differences. For example, the host school has a sight-impaired unit which is used by the club. Children explore a Braille machine and staff demonstrate how sight-impaired people use Braille. Children learn about risk and how to manage it, for example they understand to keep floor space tidy as it could be a trip hazard if a child cannot see. Children's physical skills develop well. For example, they make effective use of the challenging outdoor playground.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children and staff treat each other with respect. The staff know the children well and treat them with care and affection. Children are happy and settled, and they move around the classroom and grounds confidently. Children are aware of their own needs. They develop a good awareness of managing their own behaviour and learn to resolve their own disputes. Staff give children reasons why their actions may not be appropriate and they act as positive role models. Staff know the children well and take time to understand each child's likes and dislikes. They work with the children and parents from the beginning, to help each child settle, and plan activities that follow children's interests.
