p.1

The provision is good

n Staff work very close in partnership with teachers at the host school. They gather sharply focused information to further support children's learning at school. Children benefit from the shared approach to having their needs met. n Children have developed positive and secure relationships with the kind and caring staff. Staff listen attentively to children and show an interest in what they have to say. Children feel valued and respected. n Staff have developed good relationships with parents. They talk to parents each day about the activities. Parents comment that they are happy with the club and say that their children are very happy to attend. n Staff regularly observe children and get to know their achievements. They include children's contributions in the planning, which helps to motivate and engage children. n Staff consider children's needs very well. They make good use of the school's facilities

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not make the most of opportunities as they arise to promote children's problem-solving skills. n Strategies used to encourage parents to share information about their child's interests when they first start, are not always successful.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff attend regular child protection training to keep their knowledge of safeguarding issues up to date. They understand how to identify and refer any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff complete daily risk assessments and safety checks, which helps to create a safe environment for children to explore. They closely supervise children as they move around the different areas of the club and deploy themselves effectively to help keep children safe. The manager evaluates the quality of the provision and identifies areas to develop further. She seeks and responds to the views of staff, parents and children, which contributes to the continuous improvement of the club. Staff receive effective guidance, support and training through one-to-one supervisory meetings and team meetings, which helps to continuously develop their knowledge and practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff arrive early to prepare the environment, ensuring it is welcoming, inviting and fun for children as they arrive from school. Children are interested in the activities and immediately settle into play. They particularly enjoy expressing their creativity during craft activities. For instance, they use a wide range of craft resources to decorate large pebbles and they experiment making different designs. Children have frequent opportunities to practise their early writing skills as they take part in drawing, writing and colouring. Children in the early years enjoy playing with small-world play figures and models. Staff get down to children's level and interact well with them. This helps to build on children's experiences, helping them to develop essential skills for their future.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know children well and they understand and respond to their needs, which positively supports their emotional well-being. Children are confident, happy and emotionally secure. Staff promote children's good health and physical well-being effectively. They create a very inviting snack table to promote healthy eating. Children enjoy sitting at the table with their friends and they choose freely from the variety of food on offer, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Children show good levels of independence and they are confident in social situations. They talk animatedly to their friends and have formed close friendships. Children have good opportunities to be physically active outdoors. Staff organise group games and activities that interest children of all ages. For example, some children enjoy the challenge of throwing beanbags at various targets and others play throwing and catching games. Children
