p.1

This provision is good

 The manager is clear about her key responsibilities. She ensures staff effectively implement a range of records, documents and policies to support the smooth running of the club. This particularly helps them to promote children's safety and well-being.  Staff are welcoming, friendly and very caring. They take the time to get to know children and their families when they start. Children form positive relationships with staff and quickly settle into the club.  Children have fun and enjoy attending. The club is well resourced. Staff interact with children warmly and deploy themselves well to encourage children to take part in the activities and experiences available.  Staff remind children of the club's clear behaviour boundaries daily. They encourage children to take responsibilities, both personally and for the benefit of the group. Children capably look after their own belongings and enjoy being club helpers.

This provision is good

 Partnership working is very good. Staff share detailed information with parents, the host school and relevant professionals. Children benefit from strong continuity.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently provide children with excellent opportunities to choose the resources they need for their chosen activities.  Managers do not always encourage staff to be fully involved in the self-evaluation of the setting and help set the goals for the club's future.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The internal and external environments are tidy, clean and secure. Staff conduct routine risk assessment checks to help reduce hazards. Managers and staff have a sound understanding of child protection issues and government safeguarding guidance. They know how to follow their robust safeguarding policies correctly, to deal with different types of concerns. Managers supervise staff well and ensure they benefit from a range of opportunities, such as training to enhance their knowledge and skills. Overall, this has a positive impact on the service they provide. Self- evaluation and monitoring are continually developing. Managers oversee staff's interactions with the children, activities and experiences, and the children's and parents' engagement with the club. This helps them to maintain good standards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children well and use this to help promote their continued development. Children really enjoy investigatory, imaginative and creative activities, such as science experiments, drawing or writing, making collages and engaging in dressing up and pretend play. Staff help children to use the resources available. They promote listening well, give children instructions and encourage them to share their thinking. Staff support children to share, negotiate and play well with their peers. This helps to develop their communication and social skills effectively. All of this helps to complement the learning that take place elsewhere. Managers have a sound understanding of supporting children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. This helps to meet their needs effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote children's physical well-being successfully. Staff help children to learn about the importance of being healthy. Staff provide children with a range of interesting and nutritional meals. For example, children really enjoy eating wraps with different fillings. Staff promote good hygiene routines. They encourage children's independence. Children can manage their self-care needs well, such as handwashing, toileting, and serving food and eating with minimal support. Staff also give children access to fresh air and encourage exercise. Children really enjoy playing outside on the school's sports court. They particularly like joining in with games the club's sports coach provides that require them to move in different ways. Staff promote children's emotional well-being effectively. They give children opportunities to find out and learn about different cultures, faiths and religious festivals, celebrations and events. Staff ensure children are treated the same but
