This provision is good

 Staff plan and provide a range of activities each day based on their knowledge of children's interests. Children can choose what they would like to do. They can rest and relax after the long school day and take part in quieter activities, such as drawing and playing board games. Children also have the option of playing physical games outdoors.  The manager and staff form a strong team. They communicate well and deploy themselves effectively both indoors and outdoors, to meet all children's needs.  Children enjoy the time they spend at the club. The environment is relaxed and homely. This fosters a calm atmosphere where children learn through play.  Children's behaviour is very good. They are polite and mature and staff and children show each other mutual respect and kindness. Staff support children to resolve minor disputes between themselves and come up with solutions to problems.  Staff prioritise children's safety at the club and when collecting children from school.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 The views of children, parents and staff are not always included enough when the manager is identifying what needs to be improved in the club.  The manager does not always effectively monitor staff practice to enable her to identify what development opportunities staff need to raise the quality of provision further.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are clear on their responsibilities regarding child protection. They know the action they must take if they have any concerns about a child in their care or a colleague. Robust recruitment procedures are in place to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. The environment is safe and secure. All staff have keys for the main door, which is kept locked at all times. Staff ensure they check the identity of any visitors before allowing them entry. The manager is well qualified and leads her team well. Staff work in partnership with the schools they serve to share information about children's care. Parents and carers speak highly of the club. They are very happy with the service provided and that they value the staff highly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

All staff interact well with children. They show a genuine interest in how the children's days have been and what is going on in their lives. Staff and children enjoy each other's company and children enjoy the activities on offer. Children concentrate hard when drawing chalk pictures and creating models with construction blocks. They are confident speakers, demonstrating a wide vocabulary when communicating. Children's artwork is displayed in the club and both children and staff are very proud of it. Staff involve children in the planning of activities and listen to their ideas. Recently children have designed a poster for the upcoming competition they are organising. Staff have listened to children's suggestions and helped them to turn their ideas into reality. Children are encouraged to participate in local community events, such as the recent flower festival at the church. They made miniature gardens, which they entered into a competition and some children

won prizes for their efforts. Children enjoy imaginative role play and develop their technological and physical skills when they play with the games console.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's good health is promoted as they are provided with nutritious snacks, such as toast, crackers and fresh fruit. Staff check that children have washed their hands before eating, giving them responsibility for their own personal hygiene. Children confidently and politely tell staff what they would like to eat. They chat to staff through the kitchen serving hatch and snack time is a happy, relaxed time where children help to put the drinks out and tidy away afterwards. Children access the outdoor area freely throughout the session. They enjoy physical games, such as football, 'tig' and riding tricycles. Children learn about insects and the environments they live in when they explore and discuss their 'bug hotel'. Staff ensure the outdoor area is secure by locking the gates that link to the school and by continually patrolling the area. They follow clear emergency procedures when children are playing outside to keep them safe. Children know the club procedures
