It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently gather sufficient information from parents about children's ongoing interests to complement these through activities at the club.  At times, resources for younger children are not easily accessible to them. This has an impact on opportunities for them to develop their own independent creativity.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities to keep children safe. They know what action to take if they are concerned about children's welfare. The management team delivers training about safeguarding to help ensure that staff's knowledge is up to date. Staff are vigilant and supervise children very well at all times without making them fearful or jeopardising their independence. They have clear procedures for parents and carers collecting children to help to keep them safe. Staff complete risk assessments to identify and minimise potential hazards to children. The provider follows robust recruitment procedures. Staff complete an induction procedure and have regular supervisory meetings. This helps to identify training needs and to ensure staff continue to be suitable for their roles. The provider has implemented effective policies and procedures to guide good practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a variety of activities that challenges and extends children's existing skills effectively. They engage in discussions with children and share information about what is on offer during the day. Children gain a range of skills to support their learning at school, such as making craft items and models using construction pieces. They solve problems as they play and staff provide guidance and encouragement as necessary. Children particularly enjoy exploring outdoors. Older children have ample opportunities to join in with team games. Younger children choose games to play. They develop self-confidence and laugh with staff when they take part in an interactive game using beanbags and hoops. Staff listen attentively to children at all times and clear boundaries are shared with children before they visit the woodland area. Staff encourage children to explore and discussions take place about items they have found, such as interesting leaves. This helps

to support children's communication and language skills in an enjoyable way.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The key-person system contributes to helping children feel settled and secure. Staff reassure children as necessary and help them to make friends. This helps to support their emotional development. Staff are aware of children's allergies and dietary needs and ensure that their lunchboxes are safely stored. They effectively encourage good hygiene practices and support children's good health. For example, they remind children to drink water regularly so that they do not become too dry during their physical games. Staff promote children's safety at all times. For example, children know to stay within sight of a leader at all times. Children have a wide range of opportunities to practise their physical skills. For example, they join in a varied range of ball games. Staff encourage younger children to make up their own rules, such as when playing hopscotch. This helps them to feel a sense of ownership and supports their social skills.
