This provision is good

 Children are happy, well settled and have a positive approach towards new experiences and activities. They are motivated and enthusiastic, and enjoy experiences which complement their time at school.  Children's emotional needs are well supported and they have secure relationships with staff. Children are confident and display a good sense of belonging. They form good relationships with other children.  Staff are positive role models for children and are skilled at explaining what behaviour is expected. Children listen well to staff, and display good listening skills and consideration for others.  Leaders and staff have secure knowledge of how to protect children from harm. Clear policies and procedures are implemented to ensure children are kept safe at all times.  Partnership with the children's school is good. They share information effectively regarding individual children's needs to help support and extend their learning.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not always review the organisation of activities to make sure that all children have opportunities to engage in quieter activities. This does not help to further extend children's concentration skills.  Opportunities for staff to share good practice across the team are not yet fully explored.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed a range of activities, the quality of interactions and the children's involvement indoors and outdoors.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager to discuss and reflect on different aspects of the provision.  The inspector viewed documentation in relation to safe recruitment, safeguarding and risk assessments.  The inspector spoke to the staff, children and parents and took into account their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders are highly committed and lead a dedicated team. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff have a clear understanding of how to keep children safe and the procedures to follow if they have any concerns. Staff have completed training to enable them to understand how to identify vulnerable children. Staff use risk assessments effectively to minimise potential hazards and maintain a safe environment. Staff work closely with other professionals, including teachers from the children's school, which has a positive impact on children's experiences. Parents are happy with the care that staff provide. They say that their children enjoy their time at the club, and that it provides a good extension to their learning at school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a welcoming and interesting environment for children. Children of different ages enjoy engaging together with the well-planned activities and having fun with their friends. For example, a group of older children enjoyed problem-solving when completing their model making together. At the same time, another group enjoyed participating in creative activities, such as making pompoms and exploring play dough. Staff interact well with children and help them to make their own choices and decisions. For example, staff asked the younger children what outdoor activity they wanted to do and the children offered suggestions with enthusiasm and excitement. Children engage in games, helping to develop their physical skills and ability to work as a team. Staff use different strategies well, such as modelling new language and asking open questions, to engage children in meaningful and interesting conversations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The good key-person system helps the youngest children to develop secure relationships with staff, which are built on mutual respect. Children's behaviour is consistently good. Staff are effective at giving clear reminders of expected behaviour and they use a range of positive strategies, for example charts and stickers. Children learn about rules and fairness when waiting for their turn during games and activities. Staff are good at supporting children to build on existing skills. Children are confident and self-assured. They enjoy expressing their ideas and feelings. Staff are supportive towards the children, and provide an atmosphere where all children are valued and well cared for.
