This provision is good

 Staff have built strong links with the host school and share relevant information to help meet children's individual needs. The activities planned at the club complement the learning that takes place at school.  Children are very happy and settled at the club. They arrive and quickly settle into their chosen activities. Children make good friendships with children of different ages. The caring, welcoming environment helps to promote children's emotional well-being.  Parents are extremely happy with the service provided by the club. They say that their children love attending and that the staff are, 'Fantastic'.  Staff promote children's good health. They provide children with healthy snacks and ensure that they have daily opportunities for physical activities.  Staff consider children's views and suggestions when planning activities. This means that children are provided with activities that match their current interests.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently organise group sessions well enough to ensure that all children who want to join in are able to take part.  Staff do not engage parents highly successfully in contributing to the plans for ongoing improvement at the club.

Inspection activities

She looked at relevant documentation, such as evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club.  The inspector spoke to children and parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff complete regular child protection training. They are confident with the procedure to follow to report any concerns relating to children's welfare. Staff supervise children while playing indoors and outdoors in the school grounds. Staff encourage children to take part in completing risk assessments before new activities. This helps them to identify and minimise any potential hazards and develops the children's understanding of keeping themselves safe. Staff attend training to help them support children in their play. Managers provide staff with regular supervision meetings to enhance their skills and understanding of their role. Staff's communication with parents during arrival and collection times helps develop positive partnerships and meet each child's individual needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children have lots of fun attending the club. Staff interact well with the children and support them in their chosen play. Children develop the skills they need to help support them at school and for their future life. They play well together in games, such as table- top football. Children use their imagination well. They eagerly help to build dens using sheets and pretend to serve staff and visitors food from their restaurant. Staff provide children with the opportunity and space to relax and unwind after a busy day at school. They sit quietly with them and listen to them reading in the library area. Children enjoy time spent outdoors on the school playground. Their physical skills are continuing to develop. For example, they negotiate an obstacle course with different levels of challenge according to their age and stage.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The key-person arrangements are good. Staff introduce children and their families to the group gradually and this enables children to form strong bonds. Children behave well. They learn the importance of sharing, taking turns and being kind to each other. Children enjoy playing with their peers but also interact with younger and older children. For example, older children help the younger children to complete the obstacle course, giving them encouragement and praise for their efforts. Children are encouraged to contribute to the rules of the club. For example, they vote for daily helpers to complete designated tasks, such as clearing away after meals. Staff promote children's good health, providing them with a range of healthy and nutritious snacks. Children develop good independence skills. Staff encourage children to complete tasks for themselves, such as helping to prepare, and serve, meals and drinks.
