p.1

This provision is good

 Children are happy and enthusiastic about attending the out-of-school club. Practitioners seek children's views and ideas. They take account of children's preferences and interests when they plan activities.  Practitioners devote their time and attention to children. They join in with games and activities. They understand that children who attend the club may be feeling energetic or be ready for a rest and cater for this successfully.  Managers and practitioners demonstrate commitment to achieving the highest standards. The provider makes sure that practitioners complete all mandatory training.  Children follow rules and routines that help to keep them safe. For example, when they go outside to play they ask a practitioner to open the door. This helps to promote children's choice and independence, while ensuring that practitioners know how many children are with practitioners outside.  Practitioners are friendly and reassuring role models who support each other well. This

sets a good example and children learn to respect and help each other.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The regular appraisal of practitioners' practice does not yet lead to specific and measurable targets that promote continuous improvement.  There are occasions when practitioners do not share information very effectively when children move between home, the club and school.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider makes sure that practitioners understand the club's procedures for child protection. Practitioners know what they must do if they believe that a child may be at risk of abuse or neglect. They demonstrate a good understanding of the club's policy on whistle-blowing. Managers keep up to date with changes to Local Safeguarding Children Board procedures. Parents comment that practitioners are friendly and approachable. They feel welcome to share concerns and views about the provision. The provider demonstrates a well-organised approach to promoting practitioners' professional development. For example, she commissioned training about promoting children's positive behaviour. The training provided practitioners with an opportunity to discuss and review their approach to behaviour management. This helped them to ensure that their expectations for children's behaviour are consistent and

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Practitioners create good opportunities for children to extend their development and experiences. For example, children eagerly take part in a food preparation activity. They carefully spread tomato puree on their individual pizza base and this helps to promote their hand-to-eye coordination. They think and talk about the design of their pizza and try out their own ideas. Children play creatively and imaginatively. For example, they work together to invent an exciting story about toy dinosaurs. Practitioners join in and skilfully help children to demonstrate and extend what they know about real dinosaurs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Partnerships with parents are good. Parents say that children are keen to attend the club and like playing with friends. Children eat healthy food and learn why a balanced diet is important. They talk about food they like and dislike and this helps children to understand and respect ideas and preferences that are different to their own. Children know the expectations for their behaviour and are polite. For example, at snack time they wait until most children have finished eating and drinking before they return to their games. Children play outside in the fresh air and energetic outdoor play helps them to develop strength and agility. Children negotiate and follow rules for games. This helps them to join in with and cooperate in groups. Children learn to make choices that help to promote their good health. For example, they know that in cold weather they must put their coat on to keep warm.
