This provision is good

 The staff have strong links with the on-site school. They share good information about children to support their well-being and safety.

They enjoy sharing what they have made and are confident to share their achievements with everyone, such as during group time.  Staff provide a wide range of activities to encourage and support children's engagement and play.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Sometimes, staff miss opportunities to encourage children to be independent and manage tasks for themselves.  At times, the organisation of the environment leads to noisy or noisier activities interrupting children enjoying quieter activities.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager is dedicated to developing the club to continue to provide good quality care and play experiences for children. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a clear understanding of their responsibility to support children's safety. For example, they ensure that they supervise children well and provide them with environments where they can play in safety. Staff have a good understanding of what to do if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The manager monitors staff's performance well. She encourages staff to reflect on the effectiveness of activities and provides good coaching and support for them to develop their knowledge. For example, staff learn how to plan activities more effectively to meet the age range of children that attend the club. Self-evaluation is good and includes the views of children and parents. For example, children are included in choosing what new resources to purchase for the club, such as the new go-carts.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager works well with her team to plan activities to help children to be motivated to play and explore. Children have good choices and are able to follow their interests well. For example, they enjoy making a range of boats and cars from the construction resources available. Staff engage children in discussions and encourage them to build on their communication and language skills well. For example, children enjoy talking about their school day and share their ideas about their play. Children who prefer to play outside have good opportunities to do so. They have a range of equipment to explore and have the opportunity to play outside regularly. Staff help children to explore music and express themselves. For instance, children make simple instruments and enjoy experiencing the different sounds they can make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff work well to ensure that the club is inclusive and that all children feel comfortable and valued. For example, activities are adapted to meet the variety of needs of children attending, including those who are learning English as an additional language or those who need additional support. Children behave well. Staff encourage them to take turns with popular toys and they follow the club rules well. For example, children learn to respect others' creations and understand not to touch items that have been left for 'show and tell'. Staff help children to explore and gain an awareness of other cultures and traditions from around the world. For example, children explore music and dance from other countries and try new foods. Children play well together and develop good relationships with each other. For instance, children socialise and play with older and younger children at the club. They all cooperate and work together well.
