This provision is good

 Staff successfully encourage children to help in the running of the club. Children elect a club council that meets regularly and makes suggestions for improvements. For example, they suggest alternative snacks and activities.  Children are happy and keen to attend the club. They learn consistent expectations from staff to develop positive attitudes and social skills. For instance, children build friendships, share well, use good manners and learn to respect one another.  Staff talk to parents daily when they collect children and pass on messages from school about children's care needs. Parents are very complimentary of the care children receive in the club. They say that their children are happy and they like the good balance of activities offered to the children.  Staff have established good two-way communication links with local schools. They exchange information about what children are learning to enable them to effectively

It is not yet outstanding because:

 At present, the manager does not always use staff performance systems as well as she could to share good practice and identify further training to enhance the quality of the club.  The manager does not routinely use contributions from committee members to better inform the self-evaluation process and provide a clearer vision for the club.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff have attended child protection training, including for the 'Prevent' duty guidance. They have a good understanding of their role and responsibility to protect children from harm. The manager and staff know the procedures they should follow to report any safeguarding concerns that may arise. The manager follows an effective procedure for recruitment and has a robust induction programme. Regular meetings with staff help to ensure that they continue to be suitable to work with children and that they understand their roles and responsibilities. Staff carry out risk assessment checks to help keep the premises safe and secure. They offer age-appropriate reminders to help children to understand how to use the space and equipment in appropriate ways. This helps children to develop an awareness of how to keep themselves safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are committed to providing a play-based provision where children of different ages can play and relax together. Staff plan a good range of exciting activities they know children will enjoy. For example, children enjoy building with bricks independently and with friends. Children have many opportunities to lead their own play. For instance, they demonstrate high levels of concentration as they make lanterns and decorations to celebrate Chinese New Year. Staff support children well in their play. They remind children how to handle scissors correctly. This helps children to learn ways to help keep themselves safe. Children enthusiastically talk about their favourite things to do and share stories about their home lives and recent experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure at the club. They show that they have good relationships with staff and participate eagerly in planned activities. Children enjoy a range of healthy snacks. They were delighted to enjoy pancakes with their favourite spread and fruit, discussing how this was healthier. Staff support children well to be independent. They encourage children to help clear away toys and see to their needs, for instance, their personal care and hygiene. Children have plenty of easily accessible toys and resources to choose from to support their ongoing learning. Children behave well. They show a genuine empathy for those who are less able than themselves and offer good support. For example, older children played games with the younger ones, and supported them well during creative activities.
