It is not yet outstanding because:

 Occasionally, the times of the day between activities are not organised as effectively as possible and children are sometimes left waiting and unoccupied, so become unsettled.  Staff have not given enough thought to how they can organise the environment to make sure children who want to sit and relax quietly with a book can do so.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have completed safeguarding training updates. The manager and staff have a good understanding of the policies and procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child's well-being. The manager and staff are committed to providing good-quality care and a safe environment for children. Recruitment and selection procedures are effective and ensure all staff are suitable to fulfil their roles. The manager uses self-evaluation to ensure continuous improvement across the club and gains feedback from parents to help identify aspects of the club to enhance further. Children are involved in making decisions about the club and the activities in which they want to take part. Staff value children's ideas and take on board their feedback.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a wide range of enjoyable and exciting activities that complements children's learning in school effectively. There is a focus on physical activities and staff adapt these well for children of different ages and stages of development. Throughout their play, children develop many skills. For example, they play counting games, learn to use different equipment, such as hoops and parachutes, in a variety of ways and learn about turn taking and working as a team. Staff are actively involved in children's play and support them to be articulate and confident. For example, they ask children meaningful questions, encourage them to share their thoughts and ideas, and introduce new words, to extend their vocabulary during play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very confident and independent. They show great respect for their environment and for the staff at the club. Children greet staff confidently and understand the routines to follow. Staff are interested in the children and encourage them to share news about their school day. Staff help the children to learn about healthy lifestyles. They provide the children with healthy food for snacks and remind them to drink lots of water after engaging in physical play. Children are caring towards their peers. The older children show consideration towards the younger children and become involved in their imaginary games. Staff teach children about staying safe and children have a good understanding of managing risks. For example, children explain the club rules to the group and remind each other of the safety precautions that have been put in place. Children are well behaved. They are kind, considerate and well mannered. Staff are positive role models. They remind

children of their behavioural expectations and praise their good efforts. Children are encouraged to embrace their similarities and differences. They learn about a range of festivals, which helps them to develop positive attitudes to others.
