skills and growing in confidence. They describe the staff as professional and caring.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not consistently support children's understanding of how to keep themselves healthy. They do not monitor children washing their hands well enough to make sure that this practice is consistently embedded naturally into routines. n Staff do not always provide highly stimulating experiences for children who prefer to play outside.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. They know what signs may alert them to children who may be at risk of extreme views and behaviours. Staff are vigilant in their supervision of children. They complete thorough risk assessments to minimise hazards and ensure all areas children access are safe and secure. The provider and manager provide ambitious and clear leadership. Staff are well supported by the senior management team. They carry out regular detailed supervision and team meetings to build on their good practice and identify further training. The management team use robust safer recruitment procedures and review these processes to check staff's ongoing suitability. Staff have regular discussions with parents and teaching staff, to find out about children's abilities and interests to help further support their progress and

complement their learning from school. They welcome the views of children and parents as part of the improvement plan.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with a warm, welcoming and stimulating environment. Children arrive motivated to play and settle quickly at the club. The youngest children are supported well by staff to access a variety of stimulating and challenging activities to help support their development. For example, younger children enjoyed painting and used craft materials to make a wide range of designs successfully to strengthen their coordination, imaginative and creative skills. Staff ensure children have an extremely wide range of opportunities to develop their mathematical skills at the club. For example, children learn to problem solve and calculate during board game activities. They collaborated well on tasks and staff joined in with them enthusiastically and supported children's play with interest.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide an inclusive environment where children of different ages build strong friendships and play very happily together. They demonstrate a clear understanding of the expectations with regard to sharing and taking turns. Children are confident and demonstrate good social skills. They enjoy reflective discussions about their own personal experiences and explore how they differ from one another. Staff praise children for their success and this helps to give them a good sense of achievement and increases their confidence and independence. Overall, staff are very effective in helping children to understand how to keep themselves healthy. For example, they provide nutritious snacks and engage the children in conversations about healthy food choices. Children benefit from regular access to the outdoors and learn about how to keep themselves safe. For instance, staff ensure children are very aware about what to do in an emergency.
