This provision is good

 The management team is well qualified, dedicated and experienced. They demonstrate a good knowledge and understanding of how children learn. This and the good range of activities they provide complement and consolidate what children learn at school.  Children's behaviour is excellent. They are polite, share and take turns. Practitioners speak to children respectfully and provide gentle reassurance when needed. They have a calm approach and help children to express their views and feelings and learn how to keep themselves safe.  Partnerships with parents are effective. Parents comment that their children are involved in a wide range of activities. They say care for children is very nurturing, and it is like a home-from-home environment and a fantastic facility.  Partnerships with the host school work well and managers have good links with teachers in the school. This promotes information sharing and helps practitioners to

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

This is a very effectively managed out-of-school club with a strong focus on continuous improvement. Safeguarding is effective. All practitioners have a high regard for children's safety. Practitioners have a secure understanding of their role in safeguarding. They know the possible signs and symptoms that may indicate abuse, and what to do in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. Vetting procedures are robust, and suitable adults care for children. Good arrangements are in place to keep children safe and secure, particularly at collection times. Children talk confidently about what they enjoy, for example, playing with their friends, drawing and playing outside with the torches.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Practitioners know how to support and guide children's learning effectively in this type of provision and have fun. Practitioner interactions are very good and this promotes children's engagement and enjoyment in activities. During play, practitioners encompass discussions about numbers, counting, shape names and size. This helps younger children to build on the skills they already have, through play and exploration. Children problem solve while building with bricks and playing memory games. They play cooperatively and imaginatively in role play as they organise themselves and take on different roles and characters. Dinosaurs are a firm favourite as children sit together and develop their own ideas and small-world scenarios. Children's work is displayed and they have keenly entered into a colouring competition to mark the occasion of the royal wedding. Children enjoy taking part in a music session. They listen well as they learn how to clap and count

out the beat. Children have good opportunities to learn about the needs of others and the world around them. They take part in a range of activities that helps them to understand about different festivals and traditions. This helps children be aware of similarities and differences in society.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy their time at the club and are happy and relaxed. Practitioners have a very warm rapport with the children and they listen to them with genuine interest. They support children's emotional well-being very successfully. On arrival after school, children sit together and practitioners ask them questions that encourage them to talk confidently and share their news in the group. Children are self-assured and confidently talk to visitors about what they like doing. Effective and sensitive approaches are in place to encourage good behaviours, such as good manners, listening to others and saying sorry. Children are praised in their achievements and for acts of kindness. The environment is well organised and provides enjoyable play opportunities for all children. Children make choices about what they would like to do and play with. Children's health and physical development are promoted effectively. They develop good self-care skills and enjoy a healthy teatime
