This provision is good

 Staff have addressed the recommendation and action from the club's previous inspection. This shows a strong desire to continue to improve. Staff complete observations and assessments of children's achievements. They use this information to help them provide children with activities which help to engage and motivate them in their learning.  Staff interact well with children, engage in constant discussion and ask a variety of questions. This helps to promote children's critical thinking and problem-solving skills.  Staff act as positive role models and have a clear understanding of how to manage children's behaviour. This contributes towards children being fully aware of the boundaries and expectations in the club.  Staff have established very good links with the local authority advisor. This relationship has helped staff make changes that significantly improve children's learning opportunities.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The monitoring procedures for staff are not yet focused fully on raising the quality of their practice to an even higher level.  Background noise is sometimes too loud for children to practise and develop their listening and attention skills.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. A good range of written policies and procedures is successfully implemented by staff. Staff have completed child protection training. They have a clear understanding of the steps to take should they be concerned a child is at risk of harm. This effectively helps to maintain children's safety and welfare. The manager and staff communicate effectively on a daily basis to evaluate and address any issues or concerns. They regularly seek children's views about the club. This helps to give them a sense of belonging and self-worth. The well-qualified manager is involved in the daily practice of the club. He has introduced a system of supervisions which helps to ensure staff are valued and supported. Staff have a clear understanding of their responsibility to work in partnership with parents. They provide parents with verbal feedback on a daily basis. This keeps them informed about their children's activities,

achievements and welfare. Positive partnership with staff at the school promotes the consistency of care and learning for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff demonstrate a good knowledge and understanding of how children learn. This helps them to complement what they learn at school. For example, children show high levels of concentration as they play a counting game. Staff introduce mathematical language to children through everyday play. For example, they regularly count and discuss size and colour in games. Staff encourage children to be creative, to problem solve and to be independent throughout their activities and daily routines. Children's progress is monitored carefully and discussed with school teachers. This contributes towards children making good progress in their learning and development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have regular access to fresh air and take part in regular physical activities. Their good health is further supported as they are offered snacks that reflect a healthy, balanced diet. Children make choices and serve themselves their snack. Children demonstrate very clearly that they feel relaxed, happy and safe when at the club. Older children help younger children with activities. Sensitive reminders and positive reinforcement provide children with consistent messages to keep them safe from harm. Staff have successfully addressed the actions and recommendations raised at the last inspection. For example, children independently access their own resources and are encouraged to initiate their own play and learning well. Staff offer support, guidance and reassurance when required. This contributes towards children feeling valued and respected. Staff encourage children to manage their own personal care and promote

children's emotional well-being. For example, staff praise children to help raise their self- esteem and confidence. Children learn to play cooperatively with each other and develop their social skills. They form positive relationships with the staff and with each other.
