p.1

The provision is good

n Leaders evaluate the quality of the provision and have addressed the previous recommendations effectively. For example, they now plan activities that meet the needs and interests of children within the early years age group and ensure opportunities are stimulating and exciting for children to enjoy. n Staff interact and support children during their play well. They keep records of children's artworks and pictorial observations of their play in a special book for children to view and proudly recognise their achievements. n Children are happy at the club. They form close relationships with staff who value their contributions. Children are confident and know when to seek support. n Staff develop close partnerships with parents and other settings that children attend. They share regular information with parents about what children do at the club and pass on any messages that they receive from school teachers.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not consistently give children a clear message to support their growing understanding of the importance of healthy food. n Staff miss some opportunities to develop further children's social skills. For example, they do not encourage them to use 'please' and 'thank you' at appropriate times.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff attended safeguarding training and they have a secure understanding of their role to protect children in their care. The provider implements thorough recruitment and vetting processes to ensure suitable staff are employed to work with children. Leaders ensure staff's induction is thorough to make them familiar with the club's routines and procedures. They make good use of supervision meetings, team meetings and development opportunities to review staff's practice and to help enhance their skills. For example, staff use new knowledge from training to support children to develop positive behaviour. Leaders consider feedback from parents and children when evaluating the club. They inform parents of the club's policies and procedures to make them aware of what to expect from them.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a wide range of opportunities for children to explore and develop new interests. For example, they set up a cosy corner for them to listen to stories and a role- play area with different resources, such as dressing-up costumes and a shopping table for them to use their imaginations. Staff plan stimulating creative activities to support children's learning. For example, children use craft materials to design a poppy and to develop their awareness of Remembrance Day. Children display good communication skills and they learn to express themselves in different situations well. They understand and follow simple instructions effectively. Children are active and they enjoy games that allow them to move around and make different movements with their body. Staff arrange for a police officer to visit the club for children to learn about their role and how they help to keep people safe.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children display high levels of independence and confidence as they freely explore the resources available to them. They display a strong sense of belonging and show familiarity of the environment. Children learn to manage their own personal care needs, such as using the toilet and washing their hands well. Staff provide regular praise and encouragement to make children aware that they are doing well. Staff model positive behaviour for children to copy. For example, they show children respect and address them using their name. Staff provide regular outside opportunities and exercise to support children's physical skills. For example, children learn to throw and kick a ball when playing different ball games. Staff plan a wide range of external trips to different places within the community during the holidays for children to enjoy and learn.
