This provision is good

 Managers are passionate and clear about their key responsibilities. The club is well organised. The active ethos of the club helps staff prioritise the promotion of healthy living. Children's safety and welfare are fostered at a high level.  Staff are warm, approachable and friendly. They get to know children well. Children develop positive relationships with staff. They are keen to talk to them, show them their achievements and engage them in their games.  Children are very confident and their independence is well supported. Staff encourage children to make choices about what they want to do, take care of their own belongings and manage their care needs.  The environment is welcoming and stimulating. Staff provide children with a suitable range of activities. Children comment that they enjoy the activities and like attending.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff do not exchange enough detailed information about children's development between the club, home and host school to help fully complement the learning that takes place elsewhere.  The arrangements for staff's professional development are in their infancy. Managers do not focus as sharply as possible on building on the quality of staff's interactions with the children to help increase their confidence and reach an outstanding level.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The environment is safe and secure. Staff conduct daily risk assessment checks and routine cleaning to help reduce any hazards. Staff effectively implement a range of supporting records and documentation that helps them to promote children's welfare. Managers and staff have a sound understanding of safeguarding issues and child protection guidance. This helps to protect children from different types of harm. The majority of staff are well qualified. Managers supervise staff and ensure they benefit from some opportunities to upskill, such as training. This includes safeguarding, first-aid and food hygiene courses. This has a particularly positive impact on the quality of care provided. Self-evaluation is good. Managers listen to the views of staff, parents and children. They are ambitious and set clear targets for future improvement. This helps them to achieve good overall standards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe children and reflect on their current age and stage of development. They plan activities that help to promote children's interests. Overall, staff interact with children positively. They speak to children about what they are doing, ask questions and encourage them to extend their ideas. This helps to enhance their communication and language skills. Children are motivated to choose activities and become fully engrossed in what they are doing. For example, they particularly enjoy making superhero masks out of paper, coloured pencil crayons and collage materials. This helps to extend their creative skills. Managers monitor the activities and experiences provided and ensure children benefit from appropriate levels of support. This means all children have opportunities to extend their current abilities, which helps them to continue to progress well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote children's physical well-being particularly well. They are sensitive to children's care needs. Staff share key messages about children's care and well-being with those involved in their lives. This helps to promote some continuity between the club, school and home. Staff provide children with a range of nutritious snack choices and talk to them about the benefits of eating well. They also encourage exercise. Children greatly enjoy playing active games outside on the playground. They practice their coordination and movement as they run and negotiate around each other in the open space. Staff foster children's emotional well-being. They welcome all children into the club and promote respect and acceptance. Children continue to learn about their differences and gain an understanding of a variety of faiths and cultures. Staff promote and praise good behaviours. They have clear boundaries and strategies in place to remind children of the

club expectations. Children listen to adults and respond to instructions. They also work alongside or play cooperatively with others. This helps to extend their self-confidence.
