p.1

The provision is good

n Staff support children's care needs well. They encourage them to make friends and build positive relationships with others. Young children show good levels of emotional well-being. n Children receive care in a safe and secure environment. They enjoy a variety of games, craft activities and sports to help build on their physical, social and creative skills. n Partnership working with parents is effective. Staff encourage a regular exchange of information. They communicate daily with parents about children's experiences, and parents comment that they are happy with the care their children receive. n Self-evaluation is highly effective. Leaders show a very strong commitment to develop the club. For example, they complete quality checks to help continuously make improvements to benefit the children. n Staff receive good support, guidance and coaching to help improve their skills and help them provide good-quality care and play experiences for children.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not consistently plan adult-led activities precisely enough, so that the youngest children can become fully engaged. n Staff do not plan the environment as well as possible so that children can enjoy quiet activities or rest when they want. n At times, the staff do not fully encourage independence, completing tasks that the children could easily do for themselves.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Robust recruitment procedures and ongoing checks ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Leaders and staff demonstrate a secure understanding of their responsibilities to keep children safe. They complete regular safeguarding training and demonstrate an understanding of the procedure to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Children learn the importance of keeping themselves safe, including what to do in the event of an emergency evacuation. Links with other providers are good. For example, the club staff communicate effectively with school staff, and exchange information with them to help meet children's care needs successfully.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Young children enjoy their time at the club, are eager to join in, and show confidence in speaking and listening. Staff encourage children in their play and enable them to develop a good range of skills. For instance, children have fun as they play team games and cheer their friends on with excitement as they move a hoop around a circle without letting go of each other's hands. Children show high levels of cooperation and physical skills. They interact well with others and concentrate successfully during activities. For instance, they carefully remove toy body parts as they play a game and talk to their friends about what they see. Young children show high levels of imagination and become engrossed in fantasy play as they enthusiastically tell their friends stories about dragons that fly over their houses and breathe fire.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy the time they spend outdoors and participate in a wide range of activities to promote their health and well-being. For example, they play football and confidently negotiate apparatus in the large outdoor area. Staff are vigilant in keeping children safe, and keep accurate attendance registers and monitor them as they arrive and leave. They regularly check the environment to ensure that it suitable and lock all external doors so that only authorised people have access to the building. Staff act as good role models and teach children to treat each other with respect. They encourage positive behaviour successfully. For instance, they use praise and encouragement, and help children to learn the importance of being kind and considerate to others. Older children willingly support the youngest children and help them to make new friends, show confidence and independently make choices in their play. As a result, all children show high levels of
