This provision is good

 The management team has regular individual and group meetings with all staff members. This provides an opportunity to discuss any concerns or areas that might need improving and to consider future training requirements. It also helps to ensure that accurate targets are identified to drive forward ongoing improvements, thereby promoting good outcomes for all children.  The management team analyses and reflects on the progress of individual and specific groups of children, and compares them across the club. This helps the team to ensure that the planning meets each child's needs and covers all aspects of their learning.  Children form secure emotional attachments with the staff through an effective key- person system. Staff soothe babies by gently patting their backs and singing to them as they go to sleep. They give children verbal reassurance, smiles, praise and play alongside them as they try out something new. This promotes children's sense of

security and belonging within the club.  Children have good opportunities to develop their understanding of the world around them. They have direct access to the outdoor play area where they explore ice in frosty weather, run through mud and vigorously jump in puddles wearing the rain gear provided by the club. Staff use the pushchairs to take the babies on local walks to observe the changing elements of the weather.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Some key persons do not provide enough opportunities for children who speak English as an additional language to use their home language during their play.  Staff do not always make the best use of a broad range of techniques to support children's communication and language skills effectively.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The management team has recently updated the risk assessments to ensure they are robust. These help staff to make sure children are kept safe and well throughout the session. The lead persons with responsibility for safeguarding within the club have recently attended appropriate safeguarding training. They ensure that all staff understand the safeguarding procedures and know how to respond to any concerns about a child in a timely and appropriate way. The provider attends termly partnership meetings at the local school to share good practice and keep up to date with early years developments.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff in the baby room make sure the environment encourages children to develop curiosity and the ability to explore using all of their senses. They follow each child's interest, changing activities when needed to maintain their focus. Babies investigate the sand, small-world toys and crayons. During such activities, staff use commentary to develop children's understanding of language. They enhance these activities further by naming the colours of the toys and crayons. Staff have completed training on promoting children's literacy development. They encourage older children to identify the initial sound in words and skilfully and enthusiastically model how to sound the letter correctly. Staff demonstrate how to correctly form letters in the air, talking about the movements children make. Children who need help to catch up with their peers are well supported by their key person. They have individual support to encourage their communication and social

development. Staff support children well so that they develop the skills they need in readiness for school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide children with nutritious and balanced meals and snacks. Children have good opportunities to learn to take manageable risks and experience physical challenge in their play. They manoeuvre old car tyres and use the climbing frame in the outdoor play area. Staff have good knowledge on how to promote children's good behaviour. They effectively model how to use good manners and praise children's good behaviour.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress. Babies listen intently during story time and copy the animal noises modelled by staff. Toddlers are engrossed as they use a range of tools to make marks in the paint. Children in the pre-school room thoroughly enjoy the daily literacy sessions. They are confident at naming and sounding some of the letters of the alphabet and older children are beginning to experiment with writing letters. Children are confident, happy and talk freely and enthusiastically to staff and visitors about what they are doing.
