This provision is good

 Children are happy and secure. Their confidence and independence are strongly fostered. Practitioners interact enthusiastically and sensitively with children and consistently role model good practice.  Children behave well. They fully understand the rules, routines, show kindness and respect to others. Practitioners have high expectations of children's behaviour. Children of all ages get on well together and play harmoniously.  Partnership working with the host school is well established. Information is shared to help promote continuity in children's care and education.  Practitioners promote children's communication and language skills effectively. They welcome children as they arrive and ask them about their day.  Practitioners are well deployed. As a result, children are kept safe within the club. Good routines ensure children are supervised effectively.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Practitioners do not ensure the area for children to rest in is well organised, inviting and comfortable. As a result, very few children use the area to relax after school and look at the books available.  Arrangements for self-evaluation lack sufficient consultation with parents to help review the quality of the provision and identify areas to improve.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Practitioners are trained in safeguarding and have a good understanding of their responsibilities to keep children safe. They have a clear understanding of what to do should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Management follows robust recruitment processes and completes all the required checks to ensure practitioners suitability. Checks are also completed on the management committee and this ensures that risks of harm to children are minimised. The premises and outdoor play areas are safe. Practitioners implement effective risk assessments and policies. The management team monitor practitioners' performance effectively and seeks their views on their training needs. Parents comment very positively about the club. They state that children really enjoy attending, practitioners are marvellous and are always friendly and helpful.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Practitioners meet children's developmental and welfare needs effectively. They are observant and follow children's interests well. Children arrive happily and quickly settle into the routine of the club. They have daily opportunities to be active indoors and outdoors. Outside, children enjoy playing group games or strengthening their physical skills as they make use of the exciting range of playground equipment. Children of all ages play happily together and engage well with practitioners, peers and visitors. Practitioners provide a range of activities that sustains children's interest well. They encourage children to make choices from the range of activities. For example, children thoroughly enjoy a creative activity, using different resources to create their own 'chatterboxes'. Children eagerly share and discuss what they have made with practitioners and their friends. Younger children socialise with older ones and this helps to prepare them for their next

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Practitioners provide a welcoming, stimulating and friendly environment where children can enjoy playing and exploring. They know the children well and use information from parents to meet their individual needs. Practitioners implement a key-person system to ensure younger children are effectively supported. Children's independence is given good attention, for example, they help with the tidying up after tea and see to their own pots and cutlery. They demonstrate good levels of confidence and self-esteem. Practitioners encourage children to learn about healthy lifestyles. For example, children know to wash their hands thoroughly and regularly. Practitioners pay good attention to health and safety. They complete daily checks of the premises and maintain a safe and secure environment for children. Practitioners provide activities that help children to learn about the world around them, such as finding out about other faiths and cultures.
