It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, staff do not give children enough time to respond to questions to help develop their thinking and understanding even further.  On occasions, some activities last too long and children waiting do not have the opportunity to lead their play as resources are not available to them.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider and staff have a good understanding of their role in protecting children. All staff have received safeguarding training and know the procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child's well-being. The staff recruitment process helps to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff work well together to provide a safe environment and hold suitable first-aid qualifications. They use clear explanations to help children learn to recognise and manage potential hazards. Staff are vigilant and deployed effectively, supervising children well. The provider supports and monitors staff well and ensures staff have opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills; for example, through local authority training, team meetings and sharing ideas. This ensures the service meets the needs of the children and their families. Staff talk to parents and teachers daily and share information, including complaint

procedures, so that children benefit from continuity in their care and learning.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff monitor the progress that children make through regular observations of play. They use this information well to plan activities that support what they need to learn next. Children excitedly play a team game of 'duck, duck, goose' together. Staff gives clear instructions and explain how to play. Children happily enjoy a creative activity on space and enjoy talking about what items they would take with them to space. Older children learn to write clear words, for instance, by sounding the letters out, such as 'oxygen', 'astronaut' and 'helmet'. Children play cooperatively together and older children help and support the younger children in their play. Children enjoy using the school computers. Staff offer support and guidance on how to use technology safely.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming environment. Children behave well. They are polite and respect the rules of the club. Staff encourage children to be kind and respectful towards each other. Children demonstrate their good understanding of behaviour and safety. Staff help children develop an understanding of how to keep themselves healthy. For example, children choose their individual healthy snacks, such as satsumas, bananas, apples, cucumbers, crackers and toast. They develop independence and do things for themselves; for example, buttering their own toast and crackers. Children have good opportunities to be active and spend time in the large hall and outside in the school playground. Staff praise children's achievements and help build their confidence and self-respect, such as valuing their views and opinions.
