This provision is good

 The provider, who is also the manager, leads his team with great professionalism and enthusiasm as they continue to review and develop further what they do.  Children really enjoy attending. Parents report that their children are disappointed on the days when they will not be going and children say that the club is 'fun' and 'cool'.  Staff plan well how to meet the needs of the younger children among the busy schedule for each day. For example, they provide lots of interesting age-appropriate resources for them to use.  Staff plan well to promote children's physical health and deliver a wide range of sports and team games.  Staff are very good role models. They lead by example and show children how to stay safe, follow rules and be responsible and helpful.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 There are fewer opportunities for staff from sports coaching backgrounds to fully develop other skills to support their roles at the club, than for other staff.  Staff are not consistent in building partnerships with staff at some schools which children attend to find out about each child's interests and progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider follows robust procedures to check the suitability of those that he employs to work with children. All staff understand their responsibility to safeguard children and know how to raise any concerns about a child's welfare. The provider places a high priority on ensuring that children remain safe. Staff take effective steps to ensure that children can move safely between different parts of the premises and they supervise children closely at all times. Since establishing the provision, the provider has established thorough systems for monitoring staff performance. Staff say they appreciate the regular feedback that they receive and the clear guidance to help them improve further what they already do well. The provider makes useful, accurate and ongoing evaluations to make further improvements. For example, he has improved the resources for younger children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan effectively to deliver a wide range of interesting play-based experiences and activities. For example, children take part in team games and explore the outdoor climbing equipment to help develop their coordination, physical stamina and understanding of rules in team play. Staff join younger children as they play imaginatively, such as during a game of 'shops'. They help them to solve problems, such as how to stop a tall tower of bricks from falling over. They successfully help children to develop an understanding of the wider world. For example, they introduce children to dances, clothing and food from cultures other than their own.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a consistent approach to helping children to learn about acceptable behaviour. Children respond by behaving well. They enjoy the responsibility of helping with tasks that help with the smooth running of the club, such as finding equipment and tidying away resources. Staff build warm partnerships with parents and use these well to further build children's understanding of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. For example, at the club, children learn to make healthy snacks and are then set challenges to work with parents at home to make their own healthy lunches for the next day. Staff promote children's emotional well-being equally as well as their physical well-being. For example, younger children have designated staff who spend the most time with them. Children speak highly of all staff. They show that they really enjoy spending time in their company.
