p.1

The provision is good

n Staff provide children with a welcoming and stimulating environment in which to spend their time during the school holidays. They plan a wide range of interesting activities, and children take part in all that is on offer with great enthusiasm. n The provider, who is also the manager, implements robust procedures to ensure that children are safe. The premises are secure and children are closely supervised at all times. Staff ensure that children understand and follow the simple rules that are designed to keep them safe. n Children enjoy attending the club very much. They are keen to tell visitors about all the enjoyable things that they do and how much they like the staff. n Staff encourage children well to take part in a wide range of activities to promote their physical health and well-being. For example, they teach children the rules of team games and encourage them to play energetically when outdoors.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The provider does not monitor staff practice as thoroughly as he could in order to support staff to develop their already good practice to a higher level. n Staff do not consistently find out precise information about children's interests and development in order to meet each child's individual needs closely during their time at the club.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider ensures that all staff understand their responsibility to keep children safe. All staff know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. The provider makes regular reviews of the provision in order to make further improvements. For example, younger children now spend the beginning of each day with children of similar ages, which helps them settle even more quickly. Staff attend regular training to keep their skills up to date. The staff who work with the younger children have lots of previous experience of working with this age group, and understand how they learn and develop. Parents speak highly of the staff and report how much their children enjoy attending. Staff provide parents with a clear overview of the activities they have planned for all children in order that parents can follow these interests further at home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff successfully help children to enjoy their play and their time at the club. They are very enthusiastic and encouraging. Children enjoy many opportunities to take part in activities that complement their learning experiences elsewhere. For example, children enjoy visits from members of their local community and learn about the importance of recycling rubbish. They develop an understanding of diversity. For example, they enjoy learning about different festivals from around the world. Children play imaginatively and creatively. For example, they make up pretend games with their friends and they use craft resources to create pictures. Staff read children stories each day and work with them to build with construction materials.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Overall, staff meet children's physical needs well. They are especially successful at helping children to develop a positive view of the benefits of physical exercise, and they plan lots of outdoor activities for them. Children develop their coordination and confidence as they climb, balance and use rackets and balls. Children behave well and are kind and thoughtful to each other. For example, older children can take on the role of a 'special helper' to the younger children. Children show good levels of well-being. Staff offer new children to the club a warm welcome and ensure that they know where everything is and the plans for that day. Children soon play happily with each other.
