p.1

This provision is good

 Staff engage well with children. They consistently encourage children to use their imaginations in their play, and join in with their own enthusiasm.  The staff work well together. They receive regular support and guidance from the club and senior managers to help improve their practice.  Staff use many good techniques to help children understand and cope with their feelings. For example, they have a 'chill out' space where children can sit and think while they look at the handy little tips, such as talking about feeling sad. They can thread beads on a pipe cleaner to help them count and calm down if they are cross.  Managers use evaluation effectively to identify ways to continually improve the club. They reflect each day on what children enjoyed and encourage them to offer their opinions an all aspects of the club.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Children cannot consistently choose their own resources to build on their interests independently.  Staff do not share their informative observations of what children have enjoyed and achieved at the club with teachers at school, to support children's learning in school.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand their role and responsibility to keep children safe. They all complete mandatory training and are well informed about the latest safeguarding legislation. Managers encourage staff to continually enhance their knowledge and skills, such as through training. Staff are vigilant about children's safety. For example, they keep track of children as they move between the inside and outside, using walkie-talkies to check children have arrived safely. Children wear high-visibility vests when playing outside to be seen clearly. Staff collect the early years children from their class to safely escort them to the club. They use communication books to pass information between home and school, in addition to daily discussion with parents about what children have done in the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff recognise children as individuals. They know that some early years children are tired when they arrive while others are full of energy. A selection of activities is ready for children to choose from. For example, children walked around with their friends, looking at the floor mats to decide what they wanted to do, giggling and discussing their options, such as teenage dolls. Some children knew immediately that they wanted to dress up and chose some interesting combinations of clothes to wear, with much encouragement from staff. Staff plan most activities from children's interests and include lots of role play. For example, children greatly enjoyed sitting in a tent and pretending to be holidaymakers. They made up funny names to register with staff who were acting as the camp hosts, decided what picnic food they wanted and focused hard on how to fit the handle to the billy can to cook with. Children ask to draw in their individual record books and

demonstrate their developing skills, such as writing letters and numbers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Each early years child is assigned a key worker who collects them from class and helps them settle into the club when they first join. Children chat happily, exchanging news with staff and enjoying light-hearted, friendly relationships with them. Children behave very well. Staff display a 'rule board' with a question asking children to add any rules they think are needed. For example, mealtime rules are on the snack table to remind children not to eat with their mouth open, not to talk with their mouth full, and not to leave the table until they have finished eating. Children spend a lot of time being active and healthy outside. They create obstacle courses, chase and race each other and use the school climbing apparatus skilfully.
