This provision is good

 The staff team works very well together. Staff are all passionate professionals who thoroughly enjoy providing children with high-quality play experiences after a busy day at school.  Staff and children have very close attachments. Staff make a conscious effort to get to know the children and their families. This helps to support children's emotional needs very well.  Partnerships with parents are in place. Staff give each parent individual time when they collect their children to share information passed from school and about the time their children have spent in the club.  Children are very confident and settled. They enjoy engaging with the staff, sharing their tales about the costumes they are going to dress up in for Halloween. The children enjoy teasing and guessing what characters the staff could dress up as.  Children's attitudes about the club are positive. They discuss how they enjoy coming to

the club and playing with their friends. This helps to support their social skills.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although staff have regular access to completing all mandatory training, the programme for further professional development is not always highly focused to help raise their overall practice to an outstanding level.  Although the manager completes a process of self-evaluation and has identified some priorities for improvements, staff's, parents' and children's views are not always sought.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager is a passionate professional who has enthusiasm in abundance. Her positivity cascades throughout the staff team, which helps to create a very inviting and welcoming club. New staff receive a detailed induction to help them fully understand their roles and responsibilities. Staff receive ongoing support and guidance through supervision sessions. This contributes to sustaining their good practice. The manager attends weekly management meetings with the provider and keeps them fully informed about the staff and the club in general. The manager and staff team are strong role models for younger students who aspire to gain a vocational qualification through completing the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff's knowledge of the procedures they follow if they have a concern about a child or an issue with a member of staff's practice is secure. Staff have completed training to develop their awareness of

wider safeguarding issues. This helps to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff team is well qualified and makes good use of their knowledge and experience. Staff deliver strong purposeful interactions that help support children at play. Staff provide a range of activities that they know children will enjoy. Children discuss how much they enjoy the different activities planned each night. Children use their imaginations well as they create Halloween monster biscuits. They select different food items to produce their spooky creations. They learn to master tools safely, to carve out the pumpkins. Children have opportunities to complete homework in a space that is calm. Staff are close by should they need any help. Partnerships with schools are in place. This collaborative approach is further supported as many of the staff also work in the host school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children arrive at the club happy and confident. Older children are trusted to make their own way from their classroom to the club. Younger children are collected from their classes by staff. This helps to ensure the children arrive safely and that information is shared with parents. Staff frequently praise and encourage and strengthen children's self- esteem and confidence. Children enjoy collecting golden tickets as a reward. Children have opportunities to be physically active and develop their good health. They enjoy playing physical games with their friends and staff, such as football. Children enjoy challenging the staff to see how many skips they can do and compare their better skills to the staff's. Children's behaviour is good. They are kind and courteous to each other and to the staff team. Staff encourage children to be independent. When they arrive, they responsibly hang up their own coats and bags and are involved in routines, such as snack time as they
