routines. Staff provide children with good levels of comfort and reassurance. n Staff make good use of daily conversations with parents to share information about their children's time in the club. Parents speak very highly of the club and the good care that the staff provide to their children. They compliment the good communication and the support staff give to children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Although the manager has a suitable programme of professional development, systems for ensuring staff are kept up to date with changes to policies and procedures are not used consistently to help staff build on their skills and knowledge. n The supervision process is not used as effectively as it could be to provide staff with time to become more reflective towards their own practice.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager has successfully addressed the weaknesses raised at her previous inspection and is motivated to continually improve the care provided for children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have a good understanding of the potential signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. They talk confidently of the procedures to follow if they have a concern about a child's safety or welfare. Staff recognise and know what to do if a child should be at risk from extreme behaviours or views. Staff regularly attend mandatory training to keep their professional knowledge up to date. The manager holds regular team meetings to develop the activities and resources available for children. The manager takes appropriate steps to ensure that all areas of the club are safe. Fire drills and risk assessments are carried out by all the staff. Children confidently explain the fire drill procedure to visitors.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are passionate about their roles and enjoy being with the children. They respond well to children's ideas and encourage children to explore their individual interests. Children enjoy opportunities to be creative. For instance, they listen carefully as staff demonstrate how to take leaf rubbings. They talk enthusiastically about the colours of autumn and enjoy showing each other their finished images. Staff praise all children for their achievements and share these with the other children and staff. Children concentrate for sustained periods as they connect construction toys into shapes and build their own imaginative small-world resources. Children's confidence to talk and share experiences with adults shows that they feel comfortable and self-assured. For instance, children talk with excitement about the community rocks that they have decorated and where they will hide them for other children to find.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are excited to join their friends at the club. They are kind and helpful. Older children help the younger children with the care routines and in their play. All children are eager to help staff set up for activities and mealtimes. Staff are good role models and have high expectations of all children. They build strong relationships with the children and their families. Staff support children's behaviour very well. They use positive strategies to promote good behaviour and communicate expectations and boundaries clearly. Children's behaviour is very good. Children involve staff in their activities and go to them for help or advice. Staff encourage all children to be active and enjoy the fresh air. Children play football and team games, climb apparatus and sing as they walk around the outdoor areas.
