p.1

This provision is good

 This is a strong provision, with some excellent aspects. For example, partnership with parents is extremely good and there is a very well-established key-person system, supporting the youngest children extremely well.  Children enjoy their time at the setting, and take part in a broad range of activities that complements what they do at school and encourages their creativity and physical skills.  Children make good relationships with staff and their peers. They are kind and helpful and take turns well.  Staff make sure children are safe. They implement effective risk assessments indoors and outside, and encourage children to understand how to keep themselves safe and identify potential risks for themselves.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff sometimes miss opportunities to engage quieter children in different activities.  Staff do not always provide children with the correct tools. For example, children become frustrated when they cannot cut the fruit with kitchen knives.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders and managers are ambitious and review the quality of the provision well. They seek the views of staff, parents and children to enable them to develop the provision and make continuous improvements. Plans for the future include the introduction of forest school activities and better links with other clubs to share good practice. Children benefit from staff's ongoing professional development opportunities. For example, training in behaviour management has enabled staff to use consistent and effective strategies to encourage good behaviour and enable children to contribute to making the club rules. Staff feel valued and the manager supports them well, through meetings and mentoring. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are vigilant about children's safety and know what to do if they are concerned about a child in their care. Parents value the club highly and staff make time to discuss their child's activities. Staff make sure that parents are included as

much as possible. For example, they provide open days, daily feedback, and written information about their child's day, and celebrate children's successes together.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, children engage well in activities and choose what they want to do. Staff plan activities that they know children will enjoy and adapt their plans to suit children of all ages. For example, children enthusiastically join in with a game of musical statues. They show good emotional control when they are 'out', accepting it with good grace. They eagerly join in with the staff in deciding who else has moved and needs to stand aside. Children use all areas well, enjoying playing outdoors and managing risks carefully during climbing activities and running games. Staff provide good opportunities for children to be creative and use their imaginations. For example, children work cooperatively to use boxes, string and other resources to build a train. They plan a train journey, each taking the roles of driver, conductor, ticket operator and passengers. They decide where they are going and 'sit' in the carriages as the train heads off to the beach.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Older children engage well with their younger friends, letting them join in games of football, or helping them to balance across the outdoor obstacles. Children learn about the importance of healthy lifestyles. For example, they enjoy physical activity, such as at Zumba classes, ball games and outdoor play. They talk with staff about the benefits of healthy food as they prepare fruit to top their pancakes. Staff value children's cultures and, in close partnership with parents, encourage families to share their beliefs and celebrations. Younger children feel secure and very settled in the club. They have a special adult who knows them well and liaises closely with their parents. Children are confident and self-assured. For example, staff celebrate their achievements by awarding certificates, which children happily share with their parents and teachers.
