It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, staff do not take opportunities to encourage children to complete manageable tasks for themselves to fully encourage their independence.  Resources outdoors are not always easily accessible for children to encourage them to make choices to follow their own ideas for games.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff understand their roles and responsibilities in helping to keep children safe. All staff attend safeguarding training. They have a good understanding of the procedures in place to identify risks to children and help protect them from harm. There are robust procedures for staff recruitment, including detailed induction sessions which help to support new staff. All staff complete regular online training regarding current safeguarding procedures and regulations. The premises are secure and staff are vigilant. They supervise well to ensure that children are safe at all times.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with a varied and stimulating environment which is mostly well resourced and organised to capture their interests. They regularly observe children and record their interests and achievements. This helps them to build a good understanding of each child and to plan enjoyable activities. Children enjoy a wide range of creative activities. For example, they freely choose to draw and make fruit cones. Children are encouraged to complete homework during their time in the setting after school and staff support them well. Staff encourage children to make choices regarding which large group games to play after registration. All children are enthusiastic and respect each other's ideas and choices. Children are very proud of their creations and excitedly show the inspector their previous work and examples of their past experiments.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children greet staff happily when they arrive at the setting and staff offer equally warm greetings. Children quickly settle. Staff obtain a wealth of information from parents when children start at the club. This helps them to meet the child's emotional needs from the outset. Children are happy, relaxed and enjoy their time at the club. Older children are particularly caring and warm towards their younger peers, helping them to feel valued and confident. Staff support children to learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, children are reminded not to run indoors and to take extra care when playing on the rope climbing web outdoors. Staff support children's physical well-being effectively and provide regular opportunities for exercise. For example, children enjoy playing football on the all- weather surface and building dens with sheets of material on the climbing frame.
