This provision is good

 Staff motivate and involve children well in enjoyable, active team games.

Staff have a very clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities.  Children behave well. They fully understand and adhere to the rules of the club, such as what to do in the event of a fire. Staff are positive and understanding in their management of children and are good role models.  The management team and staff continually evaluate and look at ways to improve the setting, such as through an excellent monitoring and assessment system.

It is not yet outstanding because:

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider has a very strong management structure and ensures the smooth running of the club. The management team monitors staff performance closely and follows clear policies and procedures. Self-evaluation is accurate and ongoing. Safeguarding is effective. There is a very strong emphasis on child protection. All staff show great confidence on what to look out for and know what to do if concerned about a child or adult, including those with strong views. Staff are vigilant when they collect children at the end of the day, following clear safeguarding procedures. They undertake effective daily risk assessments and on specialised activities, such as a bouncy castle. This helps to ensure the premises are safe and secure and aids in preventing accidents. There is regular staff supervision to discuss their development. Staff undertake training to develop their skills further, such as learning and using an extensive repertoire of team games. The provider has a strong

partnership with the school, sharing facilities and activities, such as the care of the chickens.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are happy, busy and become engrossed in their play opportunities with friends, such as when they play imaginatively and cooperatively with small animals. They add a homemade lake and river out of paper, talking confidently and articulately about their play. Staff stay close by, support children well and get to know them. They involve children in plenty of physical fun, such as listening and chasing games. Children laugh and squeal excitedly and move their bodies in a variety of ways when they cross the room, pretending to be a pig or a monkey. Staff enable children to enjoy their leisure time, building successfully on what they know and can do. For example, children take pleasure designing and building with construction sets and recyclable materials. They become absorbed in making dough for pizza, developing physical skills and relishing the sensory experience of flour on their fingers.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well cared for by the staff who, overall, have a full undertaking of their role. Staff are well aware of children with specific health needs due to an effective system which they follow. There is good attention to children being physically active and keeping safe. Children gain plenty of exercise, indoors and outdoors, and use a variety of equipment to develop large physical skills. They are socially confident with visitors and keen to explain the rules of the games and the routine of the club. Children take pride in their activities and show a keen sense of belonging. Partnership with parents is strong. An effective booking system helps staff to have all required information about children. Information on the setting's activities and its procedures to support children's welfare is easily available to parents. Staff build friendly and welcoming relationships with parents, who give the club positive feedback on its service.
