This provision is good

 Staff work well with the teachers from the school that children attend, to complement their well-being and learning in school.  Staff maintain close communication with parents to support children's health and well- being and to keep them well informed of children's school day. Parents report that their children enjoy attending and have good relationships with the staff.  Children are happy and settled in the club. They laugh together, explore and enjoy a healthy cooked meal at tea time.  The management team and staff make continuous improvements to maintain the good- quality care they provide. For example, key persons have developed good working relationships with the other settings involved in children's care locally to meet their needs consistently.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff miss some opportunities to encourage children's independence further, such as managing more everyday tasks themselves.  On occasions, staff do not support some children as effectively as possible to follow their ideas to encourage their creativity further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team uses effective recruitment procedures to check staff are suitable to work with children. All staff have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities to support children's welfare. For example, they are confident about how to identify any concerns that children might be at risk of harm and how to respond. The management team monitors the quality of staff's interactions with children successfully and supports staff well in building on their knowledge and skills. For example, staff have gained a better understanding of how to manage children's behaviour consistently when challenges occur. Staff evaluate the activities they provide to ensure children are involved and having fun.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well and provide them with a warm welcome to the club. They offer a good range of activities for children to choose and include them in planning activities to enable them to enjoy their play. For example, children suggest drama sessions for staff to include in the weekly planned activities. Staff join in children's play to help keep them interested and to encourage them to communicate well. Children are keen to investigate new activities. For instance, children become fascinated exploring a device that makes three-dimensional impressions. Staff show them how the device works and children then engage for a long time, making impressions with their hands, facial features and toys. They laugh as they show staff what they have made.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff maintain a secure environment for children and supervise them well to keep them safe. They encourage children to choose where they want to play, and most enjoy lots of outdoor time to exercise and play in the fresh air. Children play ball games, use climbing and balancing equipment, play with wheeled toys and run around. Staff extend their interest in games, such as creating egg and spoon races and table tennis games. Staff are good role models who help children to develop good behaviour and attitudes. Children include one another well in play and contribute the positive values they think are important, for instance, honesty, compassion, helping those in need and friendship.
