It is not yet outstanding because:

 The supervision of less-experienced staff does not have a strong enough emphasis on raising the quality of interaction, in order to further support children to make the best possible progress and complete tasks for themselves.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know what action to take to keep children safe and to protect them from harm. Recruitment, vetting, induction and ongoing suitability checks are effective and help to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. The qualified, skilled and enthusiastic staff group continually develops their knowledge and skills through participation in additional training courses. They seek and act upon children's views on a daily basis. For example, children can identify new resources they would like to play with. This helps towards continuous and targeted improvements. Partnerships with parents are very positive. Parents are provided with good information about the club, the activities and their children's care. Parents speak very highly of the club and the staff. They talk about how much their children enjoy attending and say they are often reluctant to go home, because they are having so much fun.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children settle quickly when they arrive and demonstrate that they understand the daily routine as they gather to sit together in a group. They are supported well to be independent and confident learners who enjoy taking part in a varied range of interesting and challenging activities. Children learn to respect each other's opinions and ideas. They take turns to talk about their day, listening politely when others speak. Children are interested and engaged in the experiences available to them. Staff plan activities based on children's interests and things they enjoy. Children are eager to share their achievements, for example, when they design and make key rings to take home or mould and shape play dough. The key person for the younger children knows them well. She provides any additional support or encouragement needed to promote and support children's all-round development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are very vigilant about ensuring children's welfare and safety. Detailed records are maintained and consideration is continually given to any potential risks or hazards. Appropriate arrangements are in place with regard to children's health and medical needs. Children are extremely confident in their surroundings and they build strong friendships with other children from different age groups. They are creative and play imaginatively as they engage in role play. Staff promote a positive and supportive environment where all children play well with each other. Staff are good role models and they speak to children respectfully, reminding them about rules or boundaries. Children are provided with healthy and nutritious food and enjoy eating hot and cold meals and fresh fruit. Children have a good knowledge of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. They have opportunities every day for physical exercise and they follow good hygiene practices. Children enjoy
