p.1

The provision is good

n Leaders are highly experienced and have a secure understanding of the early years foundation stage requirements. They successfully share their expertise with staff to help provide children with positive care and play experiences. n Staff make very good use of the key-person system to support young children effectively. They plan a wide variety of interesting activities to complement children's learning in school. Children comment that they enjoy coming to the club. n Staff communicate well with parents to help form a consistent approach for the children. For example, they make good use of displays, which inform parents about the activities on offer and how they operate the club. Parents find that staff supervise their children well and compliment their professionalism and positive approach to their roles. n Staff welcome all children warmly as they arrive. They are attentive and build secure relationships with the children, which help to support their self-esteem and confidence

well. n Staff give high regard to keeping children safe. For instance, they deploy themselves effectively and follow rigorous risk assessment procedures to minimise risks to children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Occasionally, some staff interrupt children's play. This does not fully support children's level of engagement and enjoyment. n Staff have not fully considered how to reduce noise levels during mealtimes. At times, this makes it harder for children to communicate with others.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Leadership is strong. Staff give very positive feedback about the levels of support they receive from the management team. They have opportunities to complete a rigorous induction process and training that enables them to carry out their roles and responsibilities competently. For example, after completing relevant training, staff have increased their confidence in dealing with accidents and incidents. The management team follows a rigorous system for evaluating the quality of the provision. For instance, it seeks, and acts on, the views of parents and children to help it identify strengths and areas for improvement. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff have a secure understanding of their responsibilities to protect children from possible harm. They are confident in identifying and reporting any child protection concerns, including the risks associated with extreme views and behaviours. The management team implements

secure vetting procedures to help check staff's suitability to work with children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make good use of their skills to observe and plan a range of stimulating activities to keep children busy and occupied. For example, younger children enjoy exploring jelly and small-world animals during a messy play activity. Others show an enthusiasm for imaginative play using small toy bricks and dressing-up costumes. Staff show their passion as they talk and read age-appropriate stories to children. They ask children relevant questions and praise them for their efforts. Overall, children respond very well. Staff provide children with many opportunities to develop their understanding of the world. For instance, during group times, they teach children how to say greeting words and phrases in different languages. Children who speak English as an additional language enjoy hearing and using their home language, which helps them to feel valued. Others show confidence as they share and repeat what they know and can say.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children of all ages and abilities are active and motivated to take part in many different activities. They enjoy practising their physical skills indoors and outdoors. For example, children enthusiastically take part in group games, such as sport and 'parachute' play. Younger children enjoy drawing and writing, which helps the development of their small- muscle skills. Staff teach children how to keep safe and children behave themselves well at the club. For example, staff model positive behaviour and talk to children about the rules and their expectations. Children listen well and share their ideas of how to conduct themselves. They know how to be kind to others and what to do if they need help. Children are independent. They make age-appropriate decisions and help adults to tidy away the toys that they have used. Younger and older children take responsibility for their personal needs.
