This provision is good

 The provider is passionate about providing an exciting and safe out-of-school provision. She uses her considerable experience of providing out-of-school care and of working within the school as a teaching assistant to plan positive experiences for children. She reflects daily on how she can make small changes to improve the provision even further.  Children's learning and development are well supported by staff. They quickly get to know the children well through liaison with parents and the school. This means they understand the children's interests and organise a stimulating range of activities which keeps them well occupied.  Children are very well behaved and self-motivated. They are kind and caring towards their friends. They are articulate, confident and very respectful during show-and-tell sessions, listening intently to what other children are saying.  Parents praise staff's kindness and describe them as 'fabulous'. They find them very

accommodating of their children's needs. Parents are impressed by the variety of activities provided and their children's keenness to attend. They also feel their children's ability to mix with school-aged children has strong benefits in supporting their social skills.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although the majority of activities are well planned, there are occasions where staff do not consistently use opportunities to reinforce children's knowledge of what constitutes a healthy diet.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand what would constitute a safeguarding concern and know what they should do about any concerns. Staff have a clear understanding of the risk assessments for the building and grounds. They are aware of additional risks posed by working in a shared building and take any necessary precautions. For example, they are very vigilant when managing the entry and exit of children and parents when school sport clubs are also using the outside area. Staff have a range of qualifications and experience of working with school-aged children which has a positive effect on the activities provided for them. Parents' and children's views are taken into consideration as part of planning for improvements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have undertaken playwork training and understand how to organise a play session for older children. They recognise that the children have had a busy day and this is their leisure time where they need to unwind. However, they also gather information from parents and the school about any aspects of learning they could support the children with. Staff provide a range of play opportunities inside and outside. They cater for children who enjoy being physically active and those who choose craft activities and imaginative play. Children show good levels of perseverance and creativity in their chosen activities. For example, they walk with great concentration on small stilts across the playground and create a design for a pencil which reflects their personality. These activities are designed to complement the more-structured learning experience children have during the school day. They are able to select activities from the toys provided and other items from those

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Generally, children's emotional and physical well-being are well supported. They are very settled and confident because they have warm relationships with their key person and the small staff group. Children use strategies suggested by staff to manage potential conflicts. For example, children draw up their own rotas to manage who will use a favourite piece of equipment, such as the table tennis set. Children develop a good understanding of hygiene rules. Outside play promotes children's understanding of the importance of exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle and the necessity to use safety equipment, such as helmets when using scooters, to keep themselves safe.
