It is not yet outstanding because:

 Sometimes, staff do not ensure that children have the resources they need readily available to fully complete activities to a high standard. This impedes children's full engagement and success in the task.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge and understanding of the signs that may indicate a concern about children's safety or well-being. Procedures for recording and handling confidential information are rigorous. Staff are vigilant and provide a safe environment for children to play and relax in. The manager takes good account of the views of staff and parents in planning future improvements. They set ambitious targets to help strengthen the quality of staff's teaching further and support them with access to a good range of training. This has helped build the breath and range of activities the club offers to meet children's interests. Staff work closely with other settings children attend, particularly the host school, to ensure children get the best from all their experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather useful information from parents about children's interests and personal development when they first join the club. They use this knowledge well to help children settle-in quickly and develop their confidence. For example, they involve children who are not secure in building their own relationships, in group games or activities, such as role play or card games. Activities are often imaginative and generally maintain children's attention. For example, children enjoy exploring the arts and foods of the different nations participating in the football world cup. Staff interact well with children. They ask open questions, for example, questions that encourage children to think more deeply or persist with a task.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff quickly establish good relationships with children. Parents typically comment that their children enjoy being at the club so much they do not want to hurry home. Staff promote children's appreciation of hygiene and healthy lifestyles. They help children to make healthy choices at snack times. They are active and participate in many sporting activities overtime. Children tidy up together well when they complete an activity or prepare for their meals. Staff encourage children to be independent and confident in their own ability. They help children to be tolerant towards those who hold different ideas and views to their own. For example, they provide a range of books that help children to consider different lifestyles and beliefs. The club helps children to make a good contribution to many charitable events through their own fundraising activities.
