The provision is good

n The manager and deputy manager work consistently to monitor, evaluate and develop the club's provision. They involve staff, parents and children effectively to outline and implement improvements and develop good-quality practice. n Children are happy, motivated and keen to join in the activities at the club. Staff greet them warmly and enthusiastically, and build strong relationships with children. n Staff develop good partnerships with parents and keep them well informed about their child's time at the club. They share details of younger children's achievements and interests, contributing to a shared approach to the support provided for children. n Staff link closely with the teachers and staff at schools that young children attend. They share information about planned activities and work cooperatively to ensure they can offer continuity for children's care, learning and behaviour. n Children learn about the world and their local community through enjoyable

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not consistently make the most of opportunities for children to extend their understanding of mathematical concepts relating to size and capacity. n At times, staff do not plan successfully to support children's involvement in the preparation and set up of activities, and build on their skills in a practical context.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

A range of effective policies and procedures underpins staff practice. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are knowledgeable about the many different ways that children may be at risk of harm. They undertake a comprehensive range of training focused on child protection and understand the procedures to follow to ensure children's safety and welfare. There is strong communication between club staff and the schools that children attend. Staff have clear, well-implemented arrangements to support children to move between the club and school, at the beginning and end of the school day. Staff collecting children are sufficiently trained to deal with any minor medical emergencies and ensure that children continue to be safe at all times. The manager leads robust vetting and recruitment procedures to ensure staff are suitable for their roles in the club. She follows is a clear induction procedure for new staff. With the

assistance of the deputy manager, she leads regular supervision of staff and support for staff to develop their skills, such as to undertake further relevant qualifications.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The majority of children's play at the club develops freely. Staff encourage children to make their own choices about what they want to play with. They are attentive and spend time supporting children as they explore, following children's interests really well. For example, children make marks and practise their developing writing skills as they engage in play with their friends. Staff ask probing questions to help children think, plan and develop their ideas further. Children draw pictures and write words to remember the insects they have found, confidently explaining each of these to staff. Other children draw shapes to represent items and talk to staff about creating a picture of the garden and their view of the school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop their independence and a sense of responsibility well, such as tidying away resources or helping themselves to food at mealtimes. They enjoy the social aspects of the club and build good friendships. Children say that they like coming to the club. They say they have fun playing outside with all the enjoyable equipment and like the club's teachers. Staff consistently set clear boundaries for behaviour and offer gentle reminders and additional support to children regarding club rules, when necessary. Children take turns when playing games and share resources with their friends. Children have good opportunities to be physically active and spend lots of time outside. Children are successfully challenged as they negotiate the different spaces and equipment. Staff help them to think about their actions, and recognise and manage risks effectively. For example, young children test their skills on climbing equipment, and ride bicycles on

slopes and different levels of the garden. Staff provide a wealth of opportunities for children to explore nature, such as planting and growing many items, finding insects and building homes for them.
