It is not yet outstanding because:

n Sometimes, staff do not offer children opportunities to build on their knowledge of other cultures and the wider community. n Although staff undertake a comprehensive induction procedure, systems for ensuring staff are continually kept up-to-date with changes to policies and procedures are still evolving.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Staff work well as a team. The manager is a strong role model. Staff attend regular team meetings where they discuss how to develop the activities and resources available for children. There are robust systems for recruitment and induction in place. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge of the safeguarding and child protection procedures. They recognise the possible signs of abuse and are clear about their responsibilities for reporting concerns about a child's welfare. The manager takes appropriate steps to ensure that all areas of the club are safe. Staff sign in visitors and they carry out fire drills and risk assessments. The manager and her team have developed good relationships with the staff at the host schools. Staff gather important information from parents before children join the club. This includes information about children's preferences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff recognise the importance of listening to children's views. For example, they offer children regular opportunities to contribute to their 'thinking board' and be involved in the planning of their activities and resources. Children enjoy opportunities to be creative. For instance, they like icing and decorating baked items. Children discuss their chosen designs and share their ideas with staff members. Staff offer children opportunities to be physically active, indoors and outdoors. For example, children enjoy playing ball games in the sports hall and climbing and exploring in the outdoor play areas. Interactions between staff and children are good. Staff encourage children to explore their interests and share them with one another.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are excited to arrive at the club with their friends. Staff are kind and welcoming. Children independently share their ideas and suggestions which shows that they feel self-assured and safe. For instance, children request to share their reading books with staff members. They confidently read a chapter and staff praise them for their progress and clear pronunciation. Staff manage behaviour very well. They consistently communicate expectations and boundaries clearly to children. For instance, children wishing to use the electronic toys listen carefully when staff set timers to monitor activity time. This supports children to behave well. Staff encourage children to follow healthy lifestyles. Children independently wash their hands, get drinks of water and are offered a wide range of healthy snacks. Children have regular opportunities to play in the fresh air.
