This provision is good

 There is a strong management team. It accurately evaluates the effectiveness of the club and supports staff well to continue to develop their practice. The team continually makes positive changes to help meet the needs of all children and to improve their daily experiences.  Staff value children's views and contributions highly. Children take an active part in planning the activities and express their ideas confidently. They are very happy, secure and enthusiastic about their time spent at the club.  Children behave well and staff are consistent in their approach to managing their behaviour. Older children are happy to support the younger ones, which helps to support their emotional well-being. For example, the older children ask them if they need help removing the lids on glitter tubes and show consideration for their needs.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff miss some opportunities to offer further support to the less confident children to help them to play with other children and develop their social skills fully.  Staff do not fully support children's understanding of the benefits of healthy eating on their physical well-being. 2 of 5

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Management is enthusiastic and ambitious for the club. It has high standards and the well-qualified staff fully understand their role and what is expected of them. Management continuously reflects on the effectiveness of the club and the experiences of the children. The manager has recently introduced a wide range of exciting new resources for children to explore. For example, she added a role-play kitchen which children thoroughly enjoy using to cook their own pretend meals. She also created a new cosy area where children can enjoy a wide selection of books while sitting on comfortable cushions. Management gives staff good support to continue to develop their skills, knowledge and practice. For example, senior performance managers regularly spend time in the club observing practice. They have regular meetings with staff to give feedback and offer further support and guidance. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff are vigilant and have a

good understanding of how to deal with any child protection concerns. They have an up- to-date knowledge of current legislation and implement thorough procedures to help protect children and provide a secure environment.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff build strong partnerships with parents and the school that children attend. They share thorough information about children's daily activities, welfare and achievements. Parents praise the club for its high standards and happily talk about how much their children enjoy attending. Staff regularly gain input from children's teachers and use their knowledge of the children to help plan an engaging and stimulating environment. For example, children very much enjoy taking part in imaginary play, exciting creative activities and a wide range of outdoor play. Staff support children's creativity, ideas and imagination skilfully. For example, as children create paper plate masks, they challenge them to think about what their masks could represent, how they could look and what resources they need. Staff join in very well with children's play and encourage plenty of interesting conversations. Children enthusiastically talk about their favourite things to do

and share stories about their home lives and recent experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very happy, confident and independent. They make easy choices from the wide range of opportunities available and enjoy developing their play. For example, children work together to fill a role-play cement mixer with soil and leaves. They happily share out roles and decide together what needs to be done next. Children are very physically active and benefit from an exciting outdoor area. For example, they develop their physical skills through group games, such as football and chasing each other. Children confidently know the club rules and enthusiastically recite them together. They have a strong understanding of how to keep themselves safe. 4 of 5
