This provision is good

 The manager has a robust understanding of her responsibilities. She is passionate and enthusiastic, modelling positive interactions that provide staff with a good role model to observe and from which to learn. Staff are very dedicated to their role and are keen to develop their skills further.  Staff provide a wide range of activities to stimulate and engage children. Children's interests are evident and their views are valued.  Staff effectively meet children's individual care needs. Children with specific needs receive good support from all staff. Staff know the children very well and create new and exciting ways for them to participate in club life, for example, by using visual prompts to support children's language learning.  Staff have extremely good relationships with parents, who comment that the communication from the staff is excellent. Staff utilise parents' skills and invite them in to support whenever possible, for example, demonstrating interests or helping to build

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, changes in routine can be slow, which does not support children to manage their behaviour well and, as a result, unwanted behaviour arises as they wait, such as at snack time.  The setting does not currently have effective links with the school to support fully children's continuity of care and learning further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager successfully encourages staff's professional development and supports them well to gain new qualifications. This helps them to provide children with new and interesting activities. The manager monitors staff's performance through an effective system of appraisals, meetings and observation. The manager regularly evaluates the provision and seeks the views of parents, staff and children to identify priorities for improvement. For example, staff and children complete questionnaires about their views of the setting and children contribute to the planning of activities. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a good knowledge of the signs and symptoms which could indicate a concern about a child's welfare, and are aware of the procedures to follow if a concern arose. Staff have effective systems to keep children safe. For example, they conduct daily risk assessments and regular fire drills. Staff have good relationships

with parents and keep them informed about any accidents or changes to a child's well- being.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy attending the club and have great relationships with the staff. Staff provide an exciting range of activities for the children to explore. For example, they challenge children to sort a bag of buttons in different ways, such as by colour, size and style, and others create fruit kebabs for their snack. Staff support children by using clear language and repetition of instructions. Staff extend children's language well by talking about real- life experiences and asking questions about their lives. Children enter into conversations and discussions with staff and enjoy their company. Staff support younger children in their overall development well, using visual cues and verbal instructions to support language development. Staff are skilful at providing activities which meet the varying ages and stages of development. All children engage and focus on their chosen activities well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and understand the rules that staff consistently reinforce. Staff encourage all children to be independent, such as by signing themselves into the club using a digital clock. Children learn about the importance of such activities and know that in an emergency the signing in sheet is important, to show who is present. Children enjoy responsibilities given to them, such as tidying away after snacks and recycling waste items. Children are very polite and happy to help each other, and play with new friends. Children are very sociable, which helps their playtime and relationships at school. Parents comment that new friendships are encouraged at the club and children have a wider variety of friends of all ages. Staff support children with additional needs very well and meet individual care needs swiftly.
