This provision is good

 Children thrive in the warm and welcoming club. They are confident and keen to explore the wide range of activities and resources on offer.  Children form close bonds with the kind and attentive staff, who place a high priority on helping children to feel at ease and emotionally secure.  Children are articulate and confident during their play and interaction with staff and visitors. They say they really like their time at the club and they have lots of friends to play with. Children comment how lovely the staff are, and that there are lots of 'cool' things to do.  Staff provide a varied range of healthy snacks and meals, which children enjoy. Children take responsibility as they help to lay the tables ready for tea and tidy away afterwards.  Children's behaviour is very good. They play well together and make friendships across the age groups. Older children demonstrate caring attitudes towards young children

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not use the information they gain from Reception teachers as well as they could, to fully complement and build on children's experiences from school.  Staff have yet to establish more effective ways to share information with parents even further, to ensure they are kept well informed about their child's day.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Children receive care in a safe and secure environment. Collection and arrival times are well managed. Staff check the club rooms and the equipment that children use, and minimise any hazards. They lock all external doors and only allow authorised people to access the club. Staff have a very good understanding of the signs and symptoms of abuse, and the procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child in their care. They are well deployed to ensure children are safe and well throughout the session. The manager implements robust procedures for recruitment and to check the ongoing suitability of staff. Staff support children's understanding of how to keep themselves safe. For example, they remind children to walk carefully on their way to the club from school. The manager regularly meets with staff to review their practice and to identify training and development opportunities. She evaluates the quality of the

provision effectively and seeks the views of staff, parents and children. This helps to identify areas on which to focus for continuous improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children very well. They talk to parents and children during initial settling-in sessions to find out about their likes and interests. Staff complete documents at induction to ensure they have detailed knowledge of children's individual needs and preferences. They use their knowledge of children's interests to plan a wide range of exciting play activities. Young children are focused and show high levels of concentration as they play with small figures, such as knights and super heroes. They use their imagination and build a narrative into their play. Staff are attentive and listen well. They support children to explore and develop their own ideas, and children eagerly explain about the magic powers their figures possess. Children engage in meaningful conversations as staff help them to get ready for the school disco. They relax as staff brush their hair and paint their nails. Children confidently play with computer games. They offer support and guidance to young

children as they model and demonstrate how the game works.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The atmosphere in the club is energetic and cheerful. Children have a good understanding of the club's routines and display a sense of belonging. On arrival, they competently hang up their coats and take care of their personal belongings. Staff provide an environment where each child is respected and valued. They place a strong focus on gathering the views of children. For example, staff ask the children to decide what activities they would like out the next day. Staff provide children with lots of opportunities to be physically active. They practise gymnastics and play team games, such as football. Children climb and enjoy chase games with their friends as they run around in the fresh air.
