This provision is good

 Staff are very effective in promoting children's safety. They follow well-established procedures when they collect children from school and continually risk assess their access to the outdoor area, ensuring they are safe while construction work is ongoing.  Children regularly participate in activities to support their understanding of a healthy lifestyle. For example, staff talk to them at every mealtime about which elements of the meal are healthy and why. Children have developed a lovely booklet which contains a variety of information on how to achieve a healthy lifestyle.  Staff promote children's well-being effectively and form good attachments with them. For example, they ask children about their school day when they greet them. Parents and carers compliment staff on their friendly interactions with the children.  Staff welcome feedback from users of the club. They encourage children to make

suggestions for activities and resources that they want to play with during the session. They regularly seek the views of parents and carers and act on any suggestions.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Partnership working with the host school has not been fully developed to always ensure there is consistent support for children.  Managers do not focus sharply enough on monitoring the professional development of staff to drive improvements to practice to outstanding levels.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff know what action to take if they have concerns about a child's safety and welfare. Managers deploy staff well throughout the session. For example, a kitchen assistant prepares the snacks so that other staff are free to interact with the children. Staff ensure that they accompany younger children between the indoor and outdoor areas to ensure their safety. Managers promote children's good health and hygiene well. For example, all staff working with children have a first-aid qualification and they provide healthy snacks. Managers continually evaluate the session to establish what they can improve to maximise children's enjoyment.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are very happy at the club. Staff promote a calm atmosphere, which is something that parents and carers appreciate and state is very positive for the children. Staff know the children's interests and use this to inform the resources they put out for the session. Staff encourage children to choose activities and lead their own play. Children also make suggestions for future activities. Staff interact well with the children to support their enjoyment. They join in with children's games, which supports their engagement. Parents and carers state that they feel this is a strong aspect of the club. Staff provide information for parents and carers, such as any messages from school and tell them what children have been doing at the club so that they are well informed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff make good use of the space to provide a comfortable environment for children. Children enjoy being active, for example, playing ball games in the hard court area or running around on the field. Staff manage children's behaviour appropriately. They give children time to calm down if they are getting frustrated. They talk to children about the impact of their behaviour. Children regularly participate in activities to support their understanding of how to keep themselves safe. Staff ensure that this is age-appropriate, for example, focusing on the dangers of using the internet. Children have developed a very attractive and informative safety booklet which they add to on a continual basis. They recognise the rules and expectations of the club. They show kindness towards others, for example, sensitively reminding other children of the rules of a game.
