This provision is good

 Children join in with a range of rewarding activities that reflect their different abilities and interests. Staff have a good awareness of how young children learn. Children settle quickly and are motivated to play. They enjoy their time at the club and have fun.  Children develop secure and positive relationships with staff. The qualified key persons responsible for younger children, support them well to form strong emotional attachments from the start. This promotes children's self-esteem and a sense of belonging.  Children behave well. Staff praise positive behaviour and encourage children's independence. Children enjoy a good range of nutritious foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, and learn to understand the benefits of healthy eating.  Partnerships with parents are positive. Staff keep parents well informed of the activities offered on a daily basis and comment positively on the care their child receives.

This provision is good

 The provider and her staff seek the views of children and parents to help evaluate the provision. They demonstrate a desire to drive forward continuous improvement.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Sometimes, staff miss opportunities for children to explore and use their imagination and ideas to develop their creativity even further.  The large hall is occasionally not so well organised. Some children playing ball games disrupt other children's play that they have arranged by following their own interest.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff understand their roles and responsibilities and are clear about the signs and symptoms of abuse. They know the correct procedures to follow in the event of a concern regarding child protection. The provider has a very secure understanding of safer recruiting procedures and monitors the ongoing suitability of all staff effectively. Staff attend regular team meetings and training to develop their skills and knowledge to support children well. The provider completes observations on staff and annual appraisals to support them further. Effective risk assessment and daily checks for hazards help to maintain a safe environment for children. Staff deploy themselves well to allow children to move freely between areas. There is constant communication to help children stay safe. Staff gain information about school topics and work well with teachers from the school, which has a positive impact on children's experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather useful information from parents about children's interests when they first join the club. Children are also fully engaged in sharing their interests from the start. They are proud to share and discuss their achievements from school and home. Staff use this information well to plan activities that engage children successfully. They interact effectively with children, asking questions and talking about what is on offer and happening at the club. Children particularly enjoy the role-play area. They use their interests in different ways of life to arrange a 'shop'. Children thoroughly enjoy dressing up and replicating things they have observed, taking on the role of being a superhero or operating the play till. Children explore the environment well. They enjoy tabletop board games, matching shapes into spaces. They investigate small-world toys and make items using beads. Staff support opportunities for children to write and draw independently. This

provides some complementary learning opportunities. Parents receive regular information about their child's experiences at the club. Staff invite them to share their thoughts and ideas about the club and about their children's interests.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children walk confidently with their friends from school to the club's premises. They follow and understand the clear boundaries and learn consistent safety measures, such as following road safety rules. All children are familiar with the club's routines and select their choice of area and play. Staff are positive role models, listening carefully to children and encouraging them to try out new skills. For example, younger children learn to use the scissors correctly. Staff use clear explanations to help children learn to recognise and manage potential hazards. For example, they remind them to hold scissors carefully when around other children. Teatime is a happy and social event when children talk about the school day and their favourite foods. They understand and follow good hygiene practices and enjoy healthy foods. Children are confident and show a lot of independence.
