This provision is good

 The manager has secure systems in place to ensure staff suitability.

The staff know the children well and regularly share their observations with parents and teachers, especially if there are any concerns. Children new to the setting are allocated a key person who helps them to settle very quickly.

their learning and development.  Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the after-school club. They learn to do things for themselves well overall and become confident communicators. For example, they make healthy sandwiches for snacks, and give their views and comments on the autumn display.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not give children opportunities consistently to choose things for themselves.  The children have few opportunities for them to relax or spend time away from busy activities, should they choose to.

Inspection activities

 The inspector spent time in discussion with the manager at a convenient time.  The inspector spoke to staff, children and parents, and took into consideration their views.  The inspector sampled documentation. For example, she looked at records that demonstrate the suitability of staff, paediatric first-aid certificates, and policies and procedures.  The inspector discussed with the manager the effectiveness of the activities and resources on offer.  The inspector checked the registers for the times of staff and children on the premises.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff recruitment is robust to ensure that those working with children are suitable to do so. The manager and staff team have a confident understanding of their child protection responsibilities. Risk assessments are undertaken to help ensure that the premises are safe indoors and outdoors. Self- evaluation is accurate. The manager evaluates practice regularly and has made improvements since the last inspection, which have had a positive impact on children's activities and experiences. For example, children confidently make their own healthy sandwiches during tea time and they enjoy a wider range of outdoor resources and activities. The manager supports staff well to tackle underperformance and support continuing professional development and improve practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff frequently observe children to assess their individual interests, next steps in learning and how well they settle on their first day. Staff join children as they play and engage in regular discussions with them. They help them explore their ideas, question them and model language during activities and debates. For example, they agree ground rules, such as being kind to one another, and valuing and celebrating people's differences and similarities. Parents feel that children learn a lot about different festivals and cultures at the club. Staff engagement with children supports them to acquire the skills and capabilities to develop learning further. Children begin to develop an understanding of diversity beyond their immediate family experiences. They become confident communicators, for example, as they excitedly share their views and ideas during arts and crafts activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's emotional well-being well. They develop positive relationships with all children and get to know them. Staff talk about healthy food and what is good for them during routines, such as tea time. Children behave extremely well. They follow the rules, and eagerly explain how to keep themselves safe when they go outside. Children say things, such as 'don't talk to strangers, do not leave the playground'. Younger children are closely supervised and escorted from class to the club. Effective channels of communication are established with the school and parents. For example, when children are absent from the club, the manager immediately follows this up by contacting parents and the school, to ensure children's welfare and safety.
