It is not yet outstanding because:

 At times, the resources available for children who prefer to learn outdoors do not support their differing interests and abilities.  Arrangements for children to access outdoor play sometimes interfere with the smooth running of the club and can hinder children's natural flow of play and exploration.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Recruitment processes and ongoing checks help to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. The manager and staff undertake safeguarding training. They are secure in their understanding of the action they must take to protect children. Staff have established effective links with the host school. They regularly share information to help ensure that all children, including those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, feel emotionally secure and their individual care needs are met. The provider updates the club's policies and shares these effectively with staff to ensure that they are implemented effectively to guide practice. Staff feel valued and work well as a team. For example, all staff contribute to the regular planning of different activities for the children and the development of resources. The majority of staff have first-aid training and know how to respond appropriately in the event of an accident.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children's communication and language skills during all activities. They engage children in conversations as they create and decorate masks with glitter and shiny materials. Staff make good use of daily conversations to share information with parents about their children's achievements in the setting. They pass on important messages from children's teachers. Children enjoy the activities and play well alongside each other. For example, children persevere and concentrate for long periods of time to complete challenging puzzles. They proudly show the staff their completed puzzles and receive generous praise and encouragement. The role-play area is very popular and children engage in meaningful imaginative play. For example, they enjoy using the dressing-up clothes to enhance their play, eagerly helping each other with the fastenings.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff successfully support children's emotional well-being. They work well in partnership with parents. Staff ensure that children receive all the support they need to settle when they first attend the club. Older children support the younger children well. For example, they notice when children are not taking part and encourage them to join in their games. Staff promote children's knowledge and understanding of good hygiene and healthy eating. For example, children learn about the salt and sugar content in their snacks and discuss the healthy options they can bring in the snack boxes. Children participate in quiet activities, such as when they sit with staff to listen to stories. They are helped to contribute to the routines and join in with tidying away after play.
