This provision is good

 Children have great opportunities to release excess energy after school and be physically active. Staff prepare games and equipment in the outdoors that encourage children to use their bodies in a variety of ways, such as running and jumping.  Children are happy and show they feel safe and secure. They learn to be sociable and enjoy playing with their friends of different ages. For example, they laugh and play with others as they chase after bubbles in the playground.  Partnerships with parents and the teachers in the school are secure. Staff exchange information that helps them to support children's learning needs and their general welfare. Parents and teachers report the staff are 'fantastic'.  The manager, who is new in her role, has a good understanding of the strengths and areas in need of further development. She plans improvements that contribute well to supporting children, such as involving staff and children in planning activities that give

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Group activities are not organised well enough to ensure that all children benefit as well as they could, especially the youngest and less-confident ones.  Activities organised to support children's understanding of healthier lifestyles do not work well enough to interest children or help extend their knowledge further.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children playing with friends and staff in all learning environments.  The inspector spoke to staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection and considered parents' views through discussions.  The inspector completed joint observations with the manager and business manager of the organisation, and discussed children's experiences.  The inspector held meetings with the manager to discuss how she organises staff and plans activities for children.  The inspector sampled a range of documents, including children's records, policies, and suitability checks.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff know how to identify behaviour that may indicate a child's welfare is at risk. Ongoing child protection training helps them to ensure they know to whom to report their concerns. The management team follows effective procedures to recruit new staff safely. For example, new staff complete suitability checks and health declarations. The manager provides all staff with ongoing support and monitors their individual practice well, identifying potential areas for improvement. Staff keep their knowledge and skills up to date well. They complete a range of courses that gives them new ideas to support children's skills. They put into practice their newly learned skills to help extend children's communication skills, for example.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

After their day at school, children enjoy a range of activities prepared by staff. They understand the routine well and quickly wash their hands before settling. Some choose to play outside in the playground or field with their friends and staff, building on their friendships well. For example, older boys work together to set up a croquet game. They work together to share ideas and help each other to fit pieces. Staff are always close by to lead activities if children choose. For example, after tea, children and staff play with a parachute. Children follow the staff's instructions well, as well as their enthusiasm and positivity to interact with others and share enjoyment for the activity. Staff are good role models and younger children particularly seek their comfort and reassurance after their day at school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff understand the children in their care well. They form close bonds with children that help them to feel safe and secure. Staff praise children often, such as when they play bat and ball games and include learning opportunities that help to extend their skills. For example, staff explain they are going to move far away so children need to hit the ball further. Children relish the praise and are motivated by the challenge. Children behave well. Staff encourage them to use good manners and to consider the feelings of others. Children make polite requests to staff and their friends, such as asking 'please may I join in', constantly extending their social skills. Staff support children's welfare needs well after their busy day at school. They provide light snacks and drinks to help refresh them as well as a home-cooked tea later, which children heartily eat.
