This provision is good

 Children enjoy being at the club and have good attachments and friendships with staff and their peers. They show through their behaviour they feel safe and secure.  Staff value children's views and ideas and include these in the planning of activities. Children confidently lead their own play and access a wide variety of resources to support their play.  Children behave really well. They understand right from wrong, take turns and share. Older children are positive role models for the younger children in the group and encourage them to engage in activities.  Children follow good hygiene routines. They fully understand the importance of handwashing at particular times during the day.  Staff implement the club's policies and procedures well. These are also shared with parents and reflect the ethos of the setting.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Procedures for sharing information with all parents about their child's day are not always successful.  Procedures for monitoring staff performance and for supporting their ongoing professional development are not established at a high level in practice.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff fully understand their role in protecting children from harm and neglect. Staff assess all areas accessed by children and follow effective measures to identify and minimise potential hazards. Children regularly take part in fire evacuation drills so they remain fully aware of the procedure to follow in an emergency. Good procedures are in place for the recruitment of staff and for checking their ongoing suitability. Self-evaluation enables staff to successfully identify areas of strength within the provision and areas for development. Staff actively seek the views of parents and children, and use their comments to help drive improvement. Up-to- date policies and procedures effectively inform parents about the service provided.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know children very well and actively involve them in planning activities and sharing their ideas. They use a good variety of resources that supports children's play and imaginations well. Children are very creative. They show good dexterity as they use small tools, such as scissors and glue spatulas. Children use their imaginations to build different models using recycled materials. For example, they use boxes and old plastic pots along with double-sided tape, glue and paper to create robots and different models. Staff skilfully ask questions to encourage children to explain their ideas, and they effectively support children when they ask for help. Staff use their knowledge of children's interests to engage them in conversation. For example, they encourage children to share their superb knowledge of dinosaurs as they recreate their own 'Jurassic world'. Children clearly enjoy each other's company. They gather in small groups, spend time sitting together and

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident, independent individuals and are responsible for their own personal care needs. They understand the effect good food has on their bodies and the benefit of physical activity on their well-being. Children explain the importance of warming their muscles up before exercise and how their heartbeat changes when they are active. Group games encourage healthy competition between the children. Children work very well together and support and encourage each other. They relish completing various topics, such as learning about internet safety, bullying and healthy eating. Children help themselves to drinks of water throughout the day and explain the importance of staying hydrated. Children are respectful, kind and supportive of one another. Staff build children's confidence and self-esteem. They praise children's good behaviour and recognise their efforts and achievements.
