p.1

This provision is good

 The management team evaluates its practice with staff and also seeks parents' views to identify further ways to improve the provision. For example, following discussions with parents, staff now provide quiet times for children to do their homework.  Staff keep consistent boundaries and act as good role models to help children know what is expected of them. Children behave well and use good manners. They learn to be kind and considerate to others and play cooperatively.  Staff provide a good range of activities that motivate children's interest. Children enjoy their play and participate happily, and staff support their future learning skills well.  Staff develop positive partnerships with parents. Staff keep parents well informed of activities provided and liaise regularly to provide consistency for their child's needs.  Children respond easily to staff and benefit from their friendly manner. Children settle

quickly and show to be comfortable and emotionally secure in the club.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The organisation of the start of the session does not consistently support the needs of all children. They sometimes have to wait for others to arrive, with little to do and are unable to promptly access their main play room.  At times, staff do not consistently support children to develop their independence skills further and take responsibility for tasks they can do themselves.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team implements clear recruitment and employment systems. It supports staff effectively to understand their responsibilities to protect children and how to manage any concerns arising. The management team continues to assess staff suitability and supports their professional development. For example, new staff follow a clear induction process to help them learn about their roles. Staff complete core training, such as safeguarding, first aid and food hygiene, that help them support children's welfare. Staff also continue to research different aspects of child development to help them encourage children's learning further through their play, and gain ideas for more activities. Staff work well with teachers from the host school to support children's specific needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff get to know children well and help them gain confidence in their abilities. For example, younger children are keen to go first in a team game. Older children chat easily with a visitor and talk about their favourite activities at the club. Staff plan activities that effectively help children develop their skills and learn through their play. For example, staff talk to children about the origin of pancakes. Children make up a poem about pancakes and enjoy 'tossing' pancakes as they take part in a race together. Staff support children's imaginative and creative ideas very well. For example, children enjoy making unusual sculptures out of dried pasta, beads and pipe cleaners. Older children like to dress up as a superhero or a cowboy and build dens outside. Younger children become absorbed in drawing, colouring and sticking, such as to make a colourful spring picture.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children feel valued and welcomed in the club. For example, they often praise children's efforts and boost their self-esteem. Children learn to be kind and considerate of others. For example, older children willingly help the younger children, such as to support their participation in the more-active games. Staff support children's good health and physical well-being effectively. For example, children have regular opportunities to play outside and use up their energy while developing good control and balance, such as in a team obstacle course. They concentrate well as they kick a football around two cones, skip using a rope, walk carefully while balancing a bean bag on their head and then do a funny walk back to their team. Staff encourage children's awareness of healthy foods effectively. For example, children enjoy nutritious foods for their snack and like designing a healthy fruit salad.
