This provision is good

 Good levels of communication with parents enable the staff to keep well informed and meet the individual needs of children well.  Children feel safe and settle well in their surroundings. For instance, most children arrive happily and show confidence talking to each other and staff. They ask questions and regularly receive positive interactions, building their self-esteem.  There is a good range of well-planned and enjoyable activities that motivates children and builds upon their existing skills, helping to prepare them for future learning.  The manager completes thorough self-evaluation to help make further targeted improvements. For example, they have improved further on maintaining children's safety during drop-off and collection times throughout the day.  Children behave well and have a high level of understanding of routines. They listen carefully to instructions and make good use of the resources available to them. For

example, children experiment with colours while painting using their fingers and hands.  Staff help children understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. For example, they talk about nutritious snacks and encourage children to take part in mini yoga and enjoyable outdoor activities.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, staff do not fully support children's awareness of the importance of good personal hygiene, such as washing their hands before their snack.  Occasionally, staff miss opportunities to support children to form friendships to increase their confidence at the start of the day.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Staff use effective systems to communicate with parents. For example, they provide detailed information such as what activity children enjoy most and comment on their food choices. Staff communicate with each other successfully, enabling children to have freedom and choice in their play. For instance, they highlight to each other when children leave an activity to join another. They skilfully provide swift transitions between activities, providing constant care and attention. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge of what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. The management team provides training, helping to ensure staff have an up-to-date knowledge. The manager and staff evaluate activities and systems, providing a well-planned programme of enjoyable activities that extend children's learning experiences. Staff recruitment is strong. Rigorous procedures lead to a fully committed team providing a consistently good level of

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a stimulating environment where children show excitement and are motivated to join in activities. Staff support children to build their confidence and extend their learning with challenging experiences. For example, while creating self-portraits staff supported children to consider what colours would reflect how they look. Children mixed paints and took time to think about their features. Children relished looking at themselves in the mirror and enjoyed comparing their picture to their reflections. Children begin to learn about and respect each other's differences. Staff show great enthusiasm and encourage children to engage in play. For instance, staff sit with children and encourage them to consider what amounts they need to make a mixture of cornflour and water.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children feel safe and have a sense of belonging. They know who their key person is and are greeted warmly. Children quickly become familiar with the routines and boundaries, which help them to keep safe. Children's behaviour is very good throughout the holiday club. For example, children have good listening skills and are supported with enjoyable ways to concentrate and consider keeping safe. Staff are good role models for children and have a strong sense of teamwork. This enables consistently good levels of organisation, promoting children's well-being. Staff value children and use well-timed praise to acknowledge achievements as individuals and as a group. Children make independent choices throughout their day. For example, they choose activities and select tools such as paintbrushes and scissors to create pictures.
