p.1

This provision is good

 Children enjoy the time they spend at this welcoming and friendly club. They feel happy and secure, and develop good bonds with staff, which helps support their emotional well-being.  Staff have established good partnerships with school staff and parents. They exchange information on a regular basis to help to support and complement children's care and learning experiences.  The staff team works effectively together. Staff communicate well, regularly reflect on their service and gather the views of parents and children to help to identify further ways to improve.  Staff provide children with a stimulating environment. Activities provided are based on children's interests. Children are able to make choices in their play.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not consistently support children to understand the importance of healthy eating.  Managers do not focus sharply enough on supporting staff to develop their professional skills further, in order to raise the quality of their provision to the highest possible level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff are confident about local safeguarding procedures. They are alert to the possible signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. Staff are confident about the procedure to follow to report any concerns. They supervise children well. Staff ensure policies, such as the safe use of mobile phones, are implemented effectively. Staff complete daily risk assessments of the inside and outside play spaces to help to maintain children's safety. Staff are supported in their roles. They have regular opportunities to meet as a team and individually with managers to discuss their performance. Parents speak warmly about their children's time spent at the club. They say that they feel their children are cared for in a safe and friendly environment and express how much their children enjoy attending.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work well with class teachers to understand children's current learning needs. They build on this information with their own observations of children at play and use their knowledge well to provide activities that engage children and support their current interests. This helps children to continue with their learning at school. Staff interact well with children in their chosen play, enthusiastically joining in with their games. Children have good opportunities to continue to develop their communication and language skills. Staff engage them in frequent and meaningful conversations. Children enjoy working as a team, using construction equipment to make model vehicles. Some children choose to relax in the cosy corner reading books or chatting to their friends. Children enjoy colouring, drawing and practising their cutting skills at the creative table.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave very well. Staff act as good role models and are consistent in their approach to managing children's behaviour. Children of different ages play well together, make friends and learn to share and take turns. Staff place a strong emphasis on helping new children to settle quickly when they first attend the club. Children are encouraged to visit the club with their parents before they start. Staff gather information about children's likes and dislikes and use this information when planning activities. Staff provide a range of opportunities for children to be independent. Children readily join in with serving snacks and drinks and are encouraged to take care of their personal belongings. Children understand the importance of keeping themselves safe. They let staff know when they need to go to the toilet because they understand that staff need to go with them to supervise them.
