This provision is good

 The management team provides clear direction and strong leadership. It regularly takes account of the views of parents, children and staff to make improvements that benefit children.  Children are confident and happy. They enjoy the activities and develop positive relationships with their peers and the staff at the club.  Parents value the club. They like the warm welcome at the start of a session. Children proudly share their achievements at the end of the session.  The staff provide a wide range of inviting age-appropriate activities indoors and outdoors. Children participate in activities with enthusiasm.  Staff model good behaviour. Children understand the rules and behave well.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The youngest children are not encouraged as well as possible to take responsibility for tasks they can do themselves to support their developing independence.  On occasion, an activity goes on too long and some children lose interest.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know what to do in the event of a concern about the welfare of a child. Managers use robust recruitment and induction procedures to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. They routinely monitor staff performance to identify development points, which are addressed to benefit children. Partnerships with parents and carers are good. There is good two-way communication between staff and parents. Parents provide comprehensive details about their children's interests and routines. Staff use this to help ensure children settle and enjoy their time at the club. Staff keep parents informed about their children's experiences during the day. The club is well organised and staff are well supported by the management.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff set out a wide range of appealing activities and games that children enjoy when they arrive. This provides a smooth start to the day. Children choose activities that suit their interests, for example, some children read quietly in a cosy well-stocked book area. Others prefer to play with construction equipment. Staff are always on hand to support children with their play. Children have good opportunities to develop their writing skills. For example, through pleasurable art activities younger children learn how to hold a pencil and start to write their name. Children enjoy well-planned opportunities for physical development. Younger children learn to move confidently and develop their coordination through jumping, throwing and catching games.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are kind and patient. They help children understand other's views. Children learn to resolve differences amicably. With good support from staff, children play collaboratively and are kind to each other. Staff encourage children to take pride in their own achievements and celebrate others' successes. For example, during a games session, children cheer each other's victories. Staff provide exciting activities that motivate children. For example, children become engrossed in an art activity. They learn to concentrate and to complete a task. Staff provide good opportunities for children of all ages to learn about healthy eating. During lunch and snack times, staff sit with the children and they thoughtfully discuss the merits of different types of food. For example, children understand that too much sugar is not good for them.
