This provision is good

 The provider is committed to sustaining high-quality provision for children and parents. She has high expectations of her staff and the children, and ensures children are central to everything they do.  Staff provide a wide variety of experiences to promote children's learning and enjoyment. Children are consistently motivated and engaged in purposeful play.  Children are well behaved, very polite and thoroughly enjoy spending time with their friends. They say the best thing about the club is, 'There is so much to do and it's fun'.  Links with the host school are particularly strong. The headteacher speaks very highly about the club and says it is an, 'Excellent extension to the school day'.  Staff use effective ways to promote children's emotional well-being. For example, they provide hankies dipped in lavender to help sooth children who may be feeling sad or upset.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider is well qualified, very experienced and meticulous in her management of the club. She uses an external company to oversee health and safety requirements, which contributes positively to assuring children's safety and welfare. Safeguarding is effective. Thorough procedures are in place to recruit well qualified and suitable staff. Staffing levels are high and staff are well deployed to supervise the children and keep them safe. Performance management is effective and there is a clear programme of ongoing training, supervision and support for staff. This benefits the children and helps to maintain consistently high standards. Comments from staff, parents and children are used well to inform self-evaluation. An extensive range of targets is clearly identified to further improve experiences for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children share facilities with the school, including the library, computer suite and spacious grounds for outdoor play. The club is well resourced, and low-level storage units help to promote children's independent choice. Staff interact very well with the children, enabling them to have fun and develop their skills through spontaneous, freely chosen play. Children join in with games that challenge their mathematical skills and have good opportunities to write and draw. Children, including boys, particularly enjoy engaging in cross-stitch activities, where they follow patterns and create their own designs. This encourages their concentration skills and hand-to-eye coordination. Staff regularly share information with teachers, including children's individual learning targets. This helps staff to successfully complement children's learning in school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff create a relaxed, supportive and friendly atmosphere in the club. They give priority to using good humour to help build strong relationships with the children. Staff promote children's good health, for instance, by providing healthy choices of snack and organising active ball games outdoors. Children engage in lively conversations with staff and each other, which supports their communication skills. They are confident to tell staff when they have a problem and to ask for help when needed. Children help to create the club rules, which means they have a clear understanding of expectations regarding behaviour and how to keep themselves safe. They look forward to days when they can bring a special toy from home to play with. Overall, staff work well with parents. Parents report that they are very impressed with the club and feel confident to leave their children in staff's capable hands.
