This provision is good

 Children benefit from a variety of activities designed to follow their interests. Staff support children to develop positive self-esteem and respect the similarities and differences between themselves and others.  Effective teamworking contributes to a well-organised provision. Staff ask children their views about the club and consider these when planning activities and making improvements.  Children say they are happy at the club and they settle quickly. Staff are good role models and support children in sharing their resources and activities. Staff support children's emotional well-being as they listen carefully when children tell them about their day.  Children can access resources independently. They are able to direct their own play and activities, which supports them in being independent and motivated learners.  Parents say their children enjoy attending the club and that staff keep their children

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although children behave well overall, some staff are more effective than others in reinforcing children's understanding of behavioural expectations.  Staff do not consistently communicate with parents as effectively as possible to build on their partnerships with parents.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff are confident in their understanding of the signs and symptoms which may given them cause for concern about a child's welfare and know the procedures to follow. Staff have received updates about how to identify any children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas or behaviours. Recruitment and induction procedures are effective, helping the provider ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff work effectively with the school and regularly share information. For example, they have developed a link book which teachers use to communicate with the staff at the club. The provider consistently reflects on the service she provides and makes targeted improvements. For example, she regularly reviews resources to enhance children's play experiences. The provider supports staff professional development, for example, through regular training and supervisions.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff create activities which interest children, for example, in making their own resources. Children excitedly make their own play dough and gain a sense of achievement from their activity. Children have access to a well-equipped outdoor play area and staff effectively support their physical well-being. Children are confident, self-motivated and eager to show what they know and can do. For instance, they practise the mathematical skills they learn at school as they measure and count. Staff support them by offering appropriate praise. Children enjoy reading their favourite books and eagerly talk about their favourite animals. Staff monitor and record how the children play, and the resources they use, to develop a play plan designed to support their learning at school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff encourage children to develop their independence and self-care skills. For example, children wash their hands before eating and help tidy up afterwards. Children learn about a healthy lifestyle and how to keep themselves well as they help themselves to water on a hot day. Staff work well together as a team. This helps keep children well supervised in the different areas of the school they use. The staff make regular risk assessments to help them keep children safe. Children enjoy spending time together at the club. They say that they get to spend more time with their friends. Children build on their social skills and form good bonds with each other. Staff are warm and caring and good role models for the children who attend the club. Children are secure in their relationships with staff and turn to them for help and support, if needed.
