This provision is good

 Managers and staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities to keep children safe. They make sure children clearly understand how to keep safe in an emergency and they practice evacuation drills regularly.  Children are well supported by adults to develop the skills they need to become independent in managing a range of self-care tasks. For example, children are encouraged to put on their own coats to go outside.  Children have good opportunities to access a range of technology and learn about the world in which we live. They are supported well to continue their learning from school.  Staff are good role models. They give clear guidance about expected behaviour. Children share, take turns, cooperate and play together well.  Staff use their experience and knowledge to reflect on practice and to make changes which have continued to enhance the quality of experiences children receive at the

club.  The manager works closely alongside teachers in the host school and committee members, as part of the club's drive for continuous improvement.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always clearly explain to children about the routine of the club and what is expected of them.  Although the manager checks staff's practice, this does not precisely identify how they can increase the quality of their practice to a higher level.

Inspection activities

She looked at relevant documentation, such as the club's policies and procedures and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club.  The inspector spoke to a small number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Good recruitment and vetting procedures help to ensure that staff are suitable for their roles. Staff have a good understanding of the signs and symptoms of possible abuse. They are aware of the procedures for reporting concerns or allegations. Staff risk assess the premises daily to ensure both the indoor and outdoor environments are safe and secure. Clear policies and procedures are reviewed regularly and understood by all staff. The arrangements for signing children in and out of the club are well managed by the staff. Staff have a good knowledge of how children learn through play-based experiences. They ensure that the environment and resources support children's progress in all areas of learning and development. Staff engage parents very well and share information regularly in many ways, including newsletters, displays and welcome evenings. Parents comment positively

about the club and say their children often do not want to come home as the activities are fun and engaging.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified in their roles and use their experience to support children effectively. They use their good knowledge of the interests and needs of individual children to plan a wide range of exciting learning opportunities that both engages and challenges children. Children develop many skills as they explore the variety of construction resources. They share their own suggestions as they make cars and think about how the wheels will balance the body of the car. Children take part in craft activities and build 'snowmen' with dough. Staff join in with children's games and listen carefully to them when they ask for help. Staff provide children with places to be quiet and relax and they use these spaces to chat with their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy each other's company. They have fun together and share their experiences. Staff promote a good understanding of the wider world. Children value diversity, learn about festivals of different faiths and the customs and beliefs of others. They learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and others. Children are encouraged to follow good hygiene routines and are competent at managing their personal needs. They are developing a good understanding of the importance of healthy lifestyles. Staff provide a range of nutritious food and snacks. The children enjoy preparing meals for themselves. They cut up ingredients, spread toppings on bread to make their own sandwiches and pour their own drinks. Children take pleasure in having the responsibility of helping to lay the table, set up and tidy away. There are regular opportunities for children to be active. They enjoy playing ball games and riding around on wheeled toys in

the outdoor space. Children understand how to safely use the equipment. They wait their turn for a helmet before using the scooters.
