This provision is good

 Children enjoy a variety of activities that are well matched to their interests and complements their learning in school. Staff observe children as they play and, together with information from parents and teaching staff, use what they find out to inform their planning.  Staff are good role models. They help children to develop trusting relationships and promote their emotional well-being. Children show very good behaviour. They are respectful of each other, staff and the environment. They form very strong friendships with one another and frequently help others.  Managers offer parents the opportunity to visit the club with their children so they can begin to develop a bond with their key person before they start. This helps children to adjust to their new environment and to settle quickly.  Children know the routine at the club. They happily arrive and place their belongings in the allocated spaces. Children are keen to choose what they would like to play with and

demonstrate a sense of belonging in the club.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Activities and discussions that reflect the wider world and communities outside of children's own experiences are not yet fully developed.  Training for staff is largely based on essential requirements, such as first aid, and not sufficiently focused on raising the quality of practice to an even higher level.

She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club.  The inspector spoke to a number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of how to recognise if a child is at risk of harm and how to escalate these concerns effectively. Robust procedures are in place for the safe recruitment of staff. The manager carries out all required suitability checks and staff receive a full induction upon starting at the club. Staff are supported well by the manager who completes regular supervisions and monitors practice through observations of teaching and interactions. Staff take all necessary steps to minimise hazards to help children be safe as they play. The manager is committed to providing good-quality care for children. Self-evaluation is effective and involves staff, parents and children through gathering their views and reflecting on practice. Parents are very complimentary about the club and staff team, commenting on how much their children enjoy attending and praising the level of care provided.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children display high levels of involvement. They enjoy taking part in group games both large and small. They play well in mixed age groups and older children encourage and support younger children to join in their play. Children show good imagination. For example, they use blankets to make a 'ghost train' filled with spooky characters and ask staff to 'buy a ticket' to enter the ride. They learn to share and take turns when they use equipment to create bubbles and pour large bubble mix. Children are confident communicators and demonstrate a wide vocabulary when speaking. They enjoy being creative and use a range of art and craft materials. Children are very much involved in the planning of activities on offer in the club. They have an ideas sheet which they write and draw their own wishes for resources on to support and extend their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident and enjoy their time at the club immensely. Children take responsibility for their own hygiene and independently use the bathroom to wash their hands before snack. They sit together at mealtimes to talk about their day and enjoy a healthy and balanced diet. This promotes children's confidence and self-esteem. Children show good manners and respect for their environment. They have good opportunities to become active and energetic outdoors. Staff help children to learn how to stay safe as they play. For example, they gently remind them to take care not to splash soap into other children's eyes as they play in bubbles. Children's experiences are greatly enhanced as they attend outings and trips during summer holiday club. This helps to promote their learning about the local community and helps them to gain good social skills.
