This provision is good

 Children enjoy their time in this welcoming, positive and stimulating environment. They form secure attachments with practitioners promoting their emotional well-being effectively.  Practitioners have a good knowledge and understanding of how to foster children's learning through play. They are enthusiastic and have a good rapport with the children, creating a welcoming and very caring environment.  Children's behaviour is very good. They are confident, self-assured and thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. Children play well together, make friends and learn the importance of taking turns and sharing.  Partnerships with parents are good. Parents speak highly about the club. Some say, it is 'amazing' and practitioners are 'brilliant' and they keep their children safe. Good information sharing ensures parents are kept fully informed about their child's well- being during their time in the club.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Practitioners do not obtain enough information from the host school so that they can offer a fully consistent approach and complement children's learning even further.  The provider and manager do not routinely encourage parents' and children's contribution to the evaluation of the club and improvement plans.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Good procedures are in place to ensure practitioners are clear about their role in protecting children's welfare. This includes good professional development opportunities and effective supervision meetings to improve practitioners' knowledge and skills. Well-qualified practitioners are confident about their responsibility to respond in a prompt and timely manner in the event of a safeguarding concern. They are also trained to be alert and respond to concerns about wider safeguarding issues. Children are supervised well and kept safe and secure. Leaders and managers monitor and evaluate the quality of the provision. The findings are used to devise focussed action plans to ensure continual improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Practitioners are enthusiastic and interact well with children, helping to build on their learning through play. They plan and organise rewarding activities, which children are keen to join in. Practitioners encourage children to share their ideas and plan and organise activities and resources that reflect their interests. Children enjoy practitioners' involvement in their play while playing board games and playing chasing games outside. Children use their imagination well as they play, using bricks to create a building to house their animals. They use their creative skills making cards and have a go at writing their name. Some children like to relax and look at books and make up their own games with their friends. Children are good at listening to others during news time where children are eager to share events that are important to them. They confidently talk to visitors about what they enjoy doing during their time at the club.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's health and physical development is fostered successfully. They enjoy healthy snacks and good opportunities to play outside. Practitioners help them to develop their independence skills, make their needs known and make choices about what they would like to do. Relationships between the practitioner team provides a good role model from which children can learn how to behave towards others. Practitioners know the children well and have a lovely rapport with them. They recognise children's individual characteristics and needs. They are alert to any changes in children's moods and give children a good level of attention and reassurance. Children are praised for their achievements, kind acts and being helpful. Equality and diversity is promoted well and good practices within the club help children to learn about the needs of others.
