The provision is good

n The manager has successfully addressed the actions raised at the previous inspection. He has implemented highly effective recruitment procedures, including completing suitability checks on all committee members and staff before they begin working at the club. n There is an effective key-person system in place.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff miss opportunities to develop children's independence fully, sometimes completing practical tasks that children can manage for themselves. n The manager has not embedded the monitoring and supervision procedures for staff well enough to develop the quality of practice even further.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff complete training to ensure that they are aware of the issues surrounding safeguarding. Staff know how to identify indicators of abuse and are aware of what to do if they have any concerns about a child's safety and well-being. The manager works well with the host school to provide a safe and welcoming environment for children. Staff deploy themselves well. They supervise children effectively and carry out thorough risk assessments to minimise potential hazards. Self-evaluation leads to a well-targeted action plan for improvements. It includes the views of children, parents and staff. Children are encouraged to share their views about the types of activities and resources that they would like staff to provide through the children's council.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff offer activities which support children's interests and help them to extend the skills that they are learning at school. Children enjoy taking part in cooking activities. Staff support children to read recipe cards and follow instructions. Children confidently use their mathematical skills as they measure and weigh ingredients. Children use their creativity well. They enjoy creating model owls out of different materials. Staff ask them questions about what they are doing and encourage them to communicate their ideas well. Children eagerly show other children, staff and a visitor their creations, welcoming the praise they receive. Children are imaginative and develop storylines using toys and small figures. They play amicably together to act out a narrative as they take part in a dinosaur adventure.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff invite children to visit the club before they join. They ask parents for detailed information about their child's needs. This contributes to staff providing good support for children from the outset. Partnerships with parents are strong. Parents comment that their children are reluctant to leave at the end of the session. Children say that they really enjoy attending the club and look forward to playing with their friends. They comment on how much they enjoy taking part in the wide range of different activities on offer. Staff give children's health and well-being high priority. Children enjoy being active and join in with energetic games outside, such as playing with balls and skipping ropes. They develop their coordination and confidence as they climb and balance on large fixed equipment. Children develop a positive awareness of the importance of good hygiene routines, under the careful supervision and support of staff. Children enjoy healthy

snacks, which supports their well-being further. Staff fully understand that children may want some time to relax after a busy day and they consider this when planning sessions.
