The provision is good

n Children's emotional needs are well supported and they have secure relationships with staff. Children are confident and display a good sense of belonging. They form good relationships with other children. n Partnerships with parents are good. Staff share information with parents daily about the activities and routines their children take part in. Parents are positive about the care their children receive and they comment on the happy staff team. n Children behave well and are thoughtful towards others. Older children play well alongside younger ones and respect their needs. They follow the good example staff set for friendly and courteous behaviour. n Children play in a safe environment. Staff identify and minimise potential risks to children and ensure they are supervised at all times

It is not yet outstanding because:

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The managers and staff are clear of the action to take if they have concerns about children's welfare and safety. Managers ensure staff attend training, so they are clear about safeguarding children. Staff carry out regular checks of the premises to ensure children's safety. Good staff deployment and effective supervision of children's activities successfully help them to keep children safe. Recruitment procedures are rigorous and ensure that staff are fully checked and vetted. Induction procedures help new employees to understand their roles and responsibilities. The club works closely with the parents to share information about the children's needs, behaviour and learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children arrive happy and settle into the routine of the club. They have daily opportunities to be active indoors and outdoors. Outside, children enjoy playing ball games and strengthen their physical skills as they make use of the exciting range of climbing equipment. Children in the early years age group are supported well by staff. They provide stimulating play experiences that interest children. Children's language and communication skills are supported well. Staff engage in conversations and use effective questioning to support them to solve problems and think as they play. Children engage in creative play activities. Staff support children well in developing their literacy skills. For example, they encourage children to practise writing numbers and letters and their own name, to build on what they learn at school. Staff provide enjoyable activities to help them to make friends and build relationships. For instance, they take part in circle time,

which involves children in turn taking, working cooperatively and listening to each other. Younger children socialise with older children and this helps to prepare them for their next steps and moves within the school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff work closely with parents when children first start in the club. The key-person system is effective, and children have warm relationships with all staff. Staff provide children with a welcoming environment. They are effective role models and provide children with clear boundaries. Staff praise children to promote their confidence and help raise their self-esteem. Staff provide children with opportunities to make healthy choices. They support children's growing independence and give them plenty of opportunities to take responsibility for small tasks. For example, children happily help set up snack time, prepare their own food and wash up their plate after they have finished their snack. Staff teach children about values and children learn about each other's cultures. For example, staff arrange interesting activities to explore different festivals.
