p.1

The provision is good

n Children are warmly greeted by the staff who show a genuine interest in them. Children are relaxed and enjoy a varied range of activities. n Staff successfully support new children to feel secure in the club from the outset. For instance, there is an effective key-person system in place and new children make regular visits to the club before they start. This supports their emotional well-being effectively. n Children behave well, staff act as good role models and help children learn how to be considerate and respectful of each other. Children quickly form new friendships as they learn to play well together. n The manager is dedicated to ensuring that the club delivers a high-quality service to parents and children. Together with her committed staff team, she reflects effectively on the service she provides and makes changes that benefit the families who attend. n Staff have a close partnership with the linked school. For example, information is

It is not yet outstanding because:

n At times, the organisation of some daily routines, such as snack time, does not fully support children to be involved or promote their independence. n Opportunities for staff to reflect upon and share good practice across the team are not yet fully embedded.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and the staff team have a very secure understanding of how to support children's safety and well-being. They are clear on signs that indicate children are at risk of harm, including where children are exposed to extreme views. Their knowledge of how to safeguard children is underpinned by comprehensive policies and procedures. The premises are safe and secure. Daily risk assessments are completed by staff to ensure areas children access are safe for them to play in. There are effective arrangements to recruit and induct new staff, which helps ensure staff are suitable for their role. A good range of information is shared with parents and this helps to ensure children's needs are met. Parents comment that they are very happy with the service provided and their children enjoy attending the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their qualifications and experience of working with children to plan activities that challenge and extend children's existing skills effectively. Planning takes into account topics taking place in school and themes, such as autumn and the Harvest Festival. Each day there is a focused activity children can join in. Children show interest and enjoy being creative. For example, children focus intently on designing and making their own mask to further develop their understanding of Black History Month. Older children work cooperatively together in their play, sharing the resources and taking turns. Staff support children's language skills and they encourage children to confidently speak to each other and to staff. Younger children play with the dough and cutters. They manipulate and use a range of tools to make models and creations. Staff praise their efforts and achievements. This has a positive impact on their self esteem.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children learn how to be safe at the club. Staff encourage children to take measured risks during play and they understand how to follow the emergency evacuation procedures. Children develop healthy practices as part of their routines. For example, they know how they must wash their hands before they eat. Staff provide opportunities for children to learn about a healthy diet, such as through the nutritious snacks they provide. Children have good opportunities to be physically active. For instance, they develop their skills of balance and coordination through taking part in yoga and creative dance sessions. Older children help their younger friends to find items they want. Good opportunities are provided for children to have an active voice. Staff take account of their views and opinions, such as what food they would like at snack time and the activities they enjoy.
