It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff miss opportunities to encourage children's interest in art and craft activities, to help them represent and develop their own ideas more.  Although self-evaluation is effective overall, the procedures for monitoring the effectiveness of the provision are not as focused as they could be, to help the managers ensure they see through their identified priorities for improvement.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Effective leadership and management ensures the club is well led and managed. For example, they regularly review risk assessments to ensure they are thorough and effective in helping staff to minimise accidents. Managers and staff have a clear understanding of their responsibilities for acting on concerns about a child's welfare. They all attend regular training to help keep their knowledge of safeguarding up to date. Staff receive good opportunities for professional development. They attend regular training that helps them to find new ways of extending children's activities and engagement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work very well together as a team. They deploy themselves effectively to meet children's individual needs successfully. Staff are very enthusiastic and clearly enjoy children's company. They teach them new skills, for instance, how to play chess. They provide good opportunities for children to construct and play with play dough. Staff encourage children's enthusiasm for making things to take home as presents for parents. The atmosphere is enjoyable. Staff set up activities inspiringly and children remain very well engaged.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The key-person system successfully supports children, helping them to settle and engage well in the activities. Staff know and understand their designated children's individual needs well. Staff value and encourage children's independence. They provide them with a healthy choice at snack time, and a wide variety of activities and resources to select for themselves. Staff provide very good provision for children to engage in physical exercise outdoors and be energetic. Children enjoy group games, such as football, that help them to learn to cooperate, understand rules and gain good coordination. Children that need to rest can do so in the many cosy seating areas. Parents say their children enjoy attending, and do not like to miss a session. Staff promote road safety well when walking children from school to the club, and raise their awareness of stranger danger for example. They teach children what to do in the event of a fire. Children wash their hands unprompted
