p.1

The provision is good

n Since the last inspection, the management team has successfully evaluated and improved its provision. The team has addressed the issues raised with regards to staff supervision, coaching and monitoring of practice. n Children have an exciting time at the club and build strong relationships with the staff. They show that they feel relaxed and enjoy making their own play choices from a wide variety of activities on offer. n The competent supervisor has high expectations for children's behaviour and uses enjoyable incentives, such as a 'pom-pom jars' contest, to encourage children to behave well. Children rise to the challenge and enjoy being part of their 'team'. n Staff demonstrate good safeguarding knowledge. They fully understand the procedures, which are followed closely to protect children.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Children are not consistently able to enjoy play outdoors in all weathers and seasons. n On occasions, the staff do not recognise and make the best use of planning opportunities to build further on children's play experiences.

Inspection activities n The inspector walked to school with staff who were collecting children. n The inspector carried out a joint observation with the club supervisor. n The inspector held a leadership and management discussion with the assistant director and the nominated person and looked at relevant documentation. n The inspector observed children's play activities and talked to children.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a keen awareness of their responsibilities and have up-to-date knowledge of child protection policies and procedures. For example, they understand about protecting children from extreme views. The directors ensure all staff have undergone suitability checks and they ensure staff understand their role in keeping children safe. They provide staff with a thorough induction programme and regular supervisory sessions to talk about performance and responsibilities. The directors support staff in their endeavours to gain a recognised qualification. Staff build a strong partnership with parents. Information is frequently shared with parents and communication takes place daily about the children's activities. Links with the school are ongoing to ensure the supervisor is fully aware of children's specific needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are warmly welcomed to the club by the enthusiastic staff and quickly engage in play. They are keen to join in play activities, such as building and designing with bricks or playing a game with a friend. Children enjoy talking to staff about what they are doing and show confidence during their play, such as when they explain that they are building a model of their school. The staff interact well with children, often encouraging them to talk about their families, to help them feel included and develop a keen sense of belonging. Children show good personal independence as they happily make play choices or decide when to have their healthy snack. They join in excitedly with planned activities linked to a theme, such as when they experiment with oil, water, glitter and shapes to make a magic 'Halloween' potion. They write their name on the label and explain confidently what it is for, such as a 'flying potion', developing their imagination.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The children's key person gathers information about their achievements and shares this information regularly with the school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

All children play harmoniously together and are very well behaved. Older children are kind and considerate towards their younger peers. For example, they role model polite behaviour as they thank staff who keep them safe when crossing a road. They sit and listen attentively to the supervisor at registration time and contribute to the conversation about their choice of snack. Children are kept safe on the walk to and from the club because staff are vigilant and follow strong safety procedures. Children wear high- visibility jackets in the busy school playground and safely walk in pairs to the club. Children enjoy eating their favourite healthy snacks at the club. They take pleasure in the positive, social occasion, and sit and talk with friends and staff.
