This provision is good

 Staff have good partnerships with parents and the host school. They share information daily with parents and school staff and receive valuable support and advice to enhance consistency in children's care. This also enables staff to complement children's learning in school.  Staff encourage children in their play and enable them to develop their skills. Children enjoy games, sports and craft activities and build on their physical, social and creative skills.  Children's emotional well-being is promoted very well. An effective key-person system is in place to support children to develop strong bonds with staff and their peers.  Children behave very well and respond positively to the high expectations from staff. Through staff's support, children develop good friendships with each other, play well together and build confidence in their own abilities.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Managers do not make the best possible use of their self-evaluation to fully secure more ambitious targets for future improvement and parents are not fully involved in this process.  Opportunities for staff's development are not yet focused sharply enough on raising their practice to a higher level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about the welfare of a child. The manager ensures that recruitment and vetting procedures are thorough to assess the suitability of staff working with the children. Staff benefit, overall, from regular supervision meetings and attend all core training, such as first aid and safeguarding, to help protect children. Staff keep parents informed about what children do in the club. They exchange information with parents so that children's needs continue to be met. Parents comment positively about their children's experiences in the club and that their children are safe and secure.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children take part in a wide variety of activities which they freely choose. Resources are made accessible for them in clearly labelled boxes and drawers to aid independence. Children gain a wide range of skills to support their learning at school, such as numeracy skills during the playing of board games. Staff play with the children and engage with them very well during the activities. They encourage children to talk about their day in school and introduce new words into their vocabulary. Children develop good coordination and agility skills and enjoy playing football. They explore different textures as they make sea creatures from art and craft materials. Themes from school, such as pirates, are incorporated into the activities well. Children have fun playing with toy ships in the water and exploring the sparkly 'treasure'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and confident in the club. Photographs of them at play and their artwork are displayed, giving children a sense of belonging and being valued. Children learn to be independent and make choices. They know the routines well. Children follow good hygiene routines and learn about food that is good for them. They enjoy healthy, nutritious snacks and drinks and often help in their preparation. Children learn to take care of their environment and help tidy away resources. They take manageable risks as they play on large equipment, such as balancing logs, boosting their confidence in their own abilities.
