p.1

This provision is good

 The manager focuses on continual improvement. She reflects critically on the quality of the club and seeks the views of teachers, parents and children. This has resulted in children contributing to the newsletter and extended opportunities for children to continue to build on their skills in mathematics and literacy.  The provider has a good understanding of the required documentation to maintain, and all documents are in place.  Parents describe their children as eager to attend the club. They say that their children are safe and enjoy being friends with the older children.  Staff supervise children well and recognise when they are in need of support and encouragement. For example, when children see the masks that others have made and doubt their own ability, staff are successful at getting them involved and demonstrating how to make one. Children show lots of pride in the results.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff are not as skilled at planning outdoor play during the winter months. As a result, activities lack variety and are less challenging.  Children are not always able to listen and respond to adults or each other due to the fluctuating noise level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff are clear about their roles and the local safeguarding children procedures they must implement should they feel a child is at risk of harm. Staff have attended recent training on wider safeguarding issues, such as the grooming of children, internet safety and radicalisation. Their awareness of such issues helps to safeguard children from abuse or neglect. Robust recruitment and induction procedures check the suitability of staff before they begin working with children. Staff comment that due to recent changes, they feel more valued and morale is good. For example, they have meaningful supervision meetings, feel supported in their personal and professional development and attend regular staff meetings. Following the last inspection, staff now involve parents and children in decisions about resources and play opportunities children will benefit from.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enter the club and staff greet them warmly. They join their friends and quickly choose what they want to do. The younger children are quieter and become engrossed in what they have chosen. They are happy in the knowledge that if they need help or support, then staff are nearby. Children play board games, become engrossed in a Christmas craft activity and enjoy listening to a story. Children use their imagination and communication skills well. They narrate their play, including discussions between the action figures they are playing with. Children are active and enjoy using up their energy outside. They enjoy a game of football, climb and balance on various apparatus and enjoy a game of chase.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children attending the club during term time attend the school that the club runs from. This helps them to quickly familiarise themselves with the setting and staff. The manager continues to work with the school to ensure that they share appropriate information. There is a broad age range of children attending the group and older children are encouraged to engage with the younger ones. This contributes to the younger ones' confidence, and friendships develop quickly. Children clean their hands before helping themselves to snacks and drinks that are prepared for their arrival. They know what activities and resources are available and independently select them for themselves.
