This provision is good

 Since the last inspection the provider, manager and staff have worked hard to improve on the actions set at the last inspection. They have undergone training in safeguarding and have a secure understanding of the steps to take should they feel a child was at risk of harm.  Children play in a safe environment. Staff develop clear risk assessments to ensure areas children have access to are regularly reviewed for safety. They take appropriate action to ensure hazards are minimised.  Children of all ages behave well and are happy and content. Staff are good role models which is reflected in the positive attitudes children have towards their peers and other adults.  Staff provide a good range of play experiences. Children happily join in with the full range of activities on offer. They play with their friends and choose to be active or relax at the end of their school day.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although the provider has begun to monitor staff's work with children, she does not yet focus sharply on helping staff to raise the quality of their practice to a higher level.  Although staff have established close links with the host school, these links are not yet highly effective to extend and consolidate children's experiences in the club even further.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 refine staff supervision arrangements even more to help them to continually develop their skills and knowledge to raise the quality of practice to an even higher level  build on the already established working arrangements with the host school to help build a more effective shared approach to extending children's experiences further.

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke with staff and children during the inspection.  The inspector observed the quality of staff practice during activities, and assessed the impact this has on children's play and progress.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager. She looked at relevant documentation, such as a sample of policies and procedures, risk assessments and evidence of the suitability and qualifications of staff working in the setting.  The inspector took account of the views of parents spoken to on the day of the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are well deployed to supervise and care for children. This includes the collection of children from their classrooms at the end of the school day. Effective recruitment procedures ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. All staff have completed a range of training, such as safeguarding, first aid and food hygiene. The provider has begun to use supervision and meetings with staff to assess their strengths and areas for development. There are good procedures in place to ensure that only known adults can collect children from the club, ensuring children's welfare is paramount. Parents are complimentary of the setting and state their children are 'happy and safe'. The provider has begun to use self-evaluation to reflect on the provision and to help identify areas of improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children well and ensure that the club is organised to reflect their interests and enjoyment. Children settle quickly as they arrive in the club and can choose from a range of resources. They show good imagination as they tend to their dolls in the 'baby clinic' and talk to the 'doctor' about how ill their baby is. Children of all ages play cooperatively with each other. They choose to play a marble game and have lots of fun as they move sticks and see the marbles tumble. Staff begin to challenge the children's knowledge of number, positional language and colour as they play. They ask children 'how many can you move' and 'is it forwards or backwards' to enable children to think about each stage of their game. Children love to write and make marks and have many opportunities to do this. They begin to record their names on their work and share what they have written on notes in the baby clinic.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are allocated a key person to ensure their individual needs are met at the club. They enter the setting with excitement and enthusiasm and clearly know the routines as they wash their hands and sit down for snack. Staff provide children with a well-balanced diet which promotes their good health. They encourage children to be independent as they pour their own drinks, peel their own fruit and clear away their pots after they have eaten. Children's good health is further supported through daily access to fresh air and exercise in the school grounds. Children display good levels of confidence and engage well with staff and visitors. They comment on the range of fun activities they take part in and how much they love to play on the trim trail in the school grounds. Children learn how to be safe at the club. Staff encourage children to take measured risks during play and routines. For example, as they access the toilets independently and use a range of large
