It is not yet outstanding because:

 The organisation of some daily routine sessions is less successful, particularly in supporting children to remain more focused and to lessen noise levels.  At times, opportunities for children to choose from a broader range of resources, so they remain more engaged in meaningful play, is not available.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good knowledge of how to keep children safe. For example, they undertake relevant child protection training and know the processes for reporting any allegations. Staff carry out risk assessments of the premises and outdoor areas to ensure the safety of the children. The manager checks staff knowledge such as through regular supervision meetings. She communicates her expectations to staff well. She monitors their practice and provides opportunities for staff to enhance their skills. The manager monitors the effectiveness of the provision well, and she takes into consideration the views of parents and children when making plans for improvement. Processes for dealing with any complaints are effective. Staff build good relationships with parents, and develop a working partnership between parents, the setting and school. This ensures that they meet children's care and learning needs well within the setting.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff generally plan activities well, and share their planning with the children and their parents. Staff take account of children's interests and talk to them about their activities in school. They adapt their programme according to the abilities and needs of the children. Children have opportunities to learn about people, communities and cultures including other festivals and celebrations. Staff build on children's experiences from school and develop children's creativity and imagination well. For example, staff support children to make intricate Christmas decorations to take home to their parents. Children learn good social skills and make friends across different age groups. Children enjoy being outside after school and enthusiastically develop their physical skills such as when playing football games.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff establish the key-person system well, which helps all children to form secure attachments to staff and to settle into the club. Staff are good role models to children; they lead by example and provide explanations of their expectations for behaviour. Staff work hard to develop children's independence skills. For example, they remind children to wash their hands before eating and encourage them to prepare their own food. Children are enthusiastic learners and clear away their own plates. Staff take extreme care in ensuring that children with food allergies and intolerances stay safe. They ensure that the food on offer meets children's specific dietary requirements such as by checking for particular ingredients. Parents say that children grow in confidence from attending the club and they are pleased with their progress.
