This provision is good

 The management team provides children with a variety of interesting activities inside and outside. It evaluates the setting effectively to continually make positive improvements that benefit children.  Children enjoy their time at the club and have lots of fun. Experienced staff members skilfully engage children in imaginative play. They help them to take an active part in discussions and listen attentively to their responses.  Children behave well and they receive consistent messages from staff.  Parents speak very positively about the care their children receive. They say that their children enjoy coming to the club and staff are welcoming to them and their children.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The management team's regular supervision of staff does not focus sharply enough on the quality of all staff's interactions with children.  On occasions, staff do too much for children rather than providing them with opportunities to do things for themselves. Godalming, 15 February 2018 2 of 5

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Management ensures that staff are secure in their knowledge of the procedures to follow if they have concerns about children's welfare. Management provides safeguarding training to help staff keep up to date with their knowledge and current legislation. Staff complete daily checks to identify any potential hazards and minimise risks. They are vigilant about children's whereabouts at all times. The management team follows thorough recruitment and vetting procedures to help ensure staff are suitable to work with children. New staff follow an induction programme to help them become familiar with their roles and the setting's policies and procedures. There are positive relationships with parents and teachers of the host school. This contributes to the continuity of care for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff offer children a good balance of adult-led and child-initiated play. Staff organise a wide range of activities and provide children with clear information about what the day ahead holds. Staff plan activities to complement children's formal learning in school. For example, children enjoy opportunities to express their creativity and confidently use a range of craft resources. They eagerly create paintings based on the current topic of space. Staff help children to recall what they may see at night time, such as stars and the moon. Children excitingly discuss information that they already know about planets. This helps to support children's language skills and promotes their self-esteem. Children work together well. They help each other to understand the rules when playing group games.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children to feel settled and secure. They work sensitively with children to learn about their personalities, likes and dislikes. Staff are very aware of dietary needs and support children to develop good hygiene practices. They help children to develop an awareness of eating well. Children say that they enjoy their time at the club. Those attending the holiday clubs come from different schools and quickly make friends with each other. Children have ample opportunities for physical play and gaining fresh air. For instance, they have fun using the go-karts, which they describe as 'space rockets'. Staff help them to race to the designated moon area. Children waiting back at 'Earth' are reminded to shout encouragement to their friends. Staff promote children's safety during their play. For example, they remind children how to apply the brakes when using the go- karts. Godalming, 15 February 2018
