The provision is good

They feel safe and secure with the experienced, caring staff that look after them. n Children have consistency and continuity of care as there are effective partnerships between the club, school, parents and carers. Parents fully appreciate the care that staff provide. They are well informed about their children's experiences during their time in the club. n Staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities to keep children safe and protected from harm. They are vigilant and sensitive to the children's needs. n Children learn to respect each other's differences.

Children say they enjoy the activities and snacks provided.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n There are times when children find it difficult to listen to instructions from staff and join in fully during play due to the raised noise levels in the hall. n On occasion, staff do not organise group activities effectively to involve the younger children and they lose interest.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have good knowledge of the signs of possible abuse and neglect and the procedures they should follow to raise a concern about a child. All staff attend regular training to ensure they are aware of current child protection legislation. Staff supervise children closely throughout the session indoors and out and the premises are secure. Younger children are safely escorted by a member of staff from their nursery and reception classroom each day. Staff risk assess all areas, both indoors and outdoors, before the children arrive. This helps to promote children's safety and well-being. Staff make good use of daily conversations with parents and teachers to support children's continued good progress and meet their care needs. Secure recruitment and vetting procedures check that staff are suitable to work with children. The manager regularly meets with staff to discuss how they complement children's learning in school and other

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a wide range of play equipment and activities for children. Overall, children are busy and well occupied at the club and benefit from the staff's energy and enthusiasm. Staff encourage children to take part in games and demonstrate warmth and care in their interactions. Children particularly enjoy crafts, role play and construction. For example, they build different imaginary worlds in their construction play and relish playing games in the home corner, talking about their favourite foods and pretending to be a chef. Staff praise children's achievements. For example, they celebrate children's individual creative ideas as children eagerly use glue, tissue paper and glitter to make pictures to take home. This gives children a sense of achievement and helps build their confidence even further. Staff gather useful information from parents about children's interests and personal development when they first join the

club. They use this information to help children make a smooth and positive start.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff quickly establish good relationships with children. Parents comment that their children really enjoy being at the club and they rarely want to go home at the end of the session. Older children help the younger ones as they play together. They all develop good friendships with each other. Children are enthusiastic about attending the club. Children particularly enjoy playing outside in the fresh air. Staff support children well in their physical development as they run about, climb and balance. Children understand the importance of healthy eating and food hygiene. They understand the need to wash their hands before eating and menus for tea offer a wide variety of hot and cold foods. Children make healthy choices and develop good independence skills. For example, they pour their drinks and clear away their plates and utensils afterwards. Staff closely supervise children with individual dietary preferences. They work closely with parents to
