This provision is good

 Parents are highly complimentary about the quality of care and the activities their children receive. They comment that they appreciate the two-way communication with staff and that they are approachable and very friendly.  Partnerships with the host school are good. Staff have regular discussions with teachers to find out about children's achievements. They use the information gained to plan activities that complement what children are learning at school.  Children enjoy using resources creatively. They enthusiastically select various materials to make collage pictures. They are pleased with their achievements and celebrate their successes with staff and their peers.  Staff have a good understanding of what children need after a busy day at school. They provide a wide range of resources and activities that link with children's interests. Children laugh, play and have fun, and happily invite staff to join in their games.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not gather as much information as possible from parents about children's needs and development when they first start attending.  Staff are not as active as they could be in seeking, evaluating and acting on the views of parents to drive continuous improvement.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leadership of the club is good and staff work very well together. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The premises are very safe and secure and children are only released into the care of authorised individuals. Robust recruitment and vetting procedures ensure each staff member is suitable for their role. All staff have received some safeguarding training. They know what action to take should they have any concerns about a child in their care. Systems are in place to effectively monitor the quality of staff's performance. This results in any concerns about their performance being picked up quickly and effectively addressed. The provider is a regular presence at the club and shows a good appreciation of its strengths and priorities for improvement. She regularly meets with staff, both individually and as a team, to discuss practice and any changes to procedures, guidance and legislation. Overall, partnerships with parents are good. Staff

speak daily to parents to ensure they are informed of their child's involvement in activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children have fun and thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. Staff place a strong emphasis on the importance of extending children's personal, social and emotional development and their communication and language skills. This supports them well as they move forward in their learning at school. Children get on well and enjoy collaborative play and working together in a mixed-age group. For example, they plan and organise the resources they will need to perform a talent show. Staff enthusiastically engage in children's conversations, encouraging them to think and work things out for themselves. This supports children's recall and language, and makes them feel special and valued. Children are encouraged to follow their own ideas and interests. They particularly enjoy art and craft activities and are provided with lots of opportunities to draw and make models. Children use materials to decorate dreamcatchers and hearts for Valentine's Day,

talking excitedly about their creations. Young children confidently ask staff for help, when needed, and take it in turns to use resources, such as glue, scissors and sticky tape. Older children show good concentration skills as they practise their skipping skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The club is organised effectively and this creates a very warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. As a result, children are happy, confident and have a strong sense of belonging. They move freely around the space and resources are easily accessible to enable them to make choices about what they would like to do. Children are familiar with the daily routine and know to wash their hands before eating. They are provided with a variety of freshly prepared snacks and meals which encourage them to eat healthily. Children sit together during mealtimes and listen to each other as they talk about their day. Children are encouraged to understand how exercise helps them to stay healthy. They are provided with a good variety of indoor and outdoor activities to enable them to take part in physical play. Children are well behaved. They understand what is expected of them because staff explain things clearly to them and make sure they know what is
