p.1

The provision is good

n Children enjoy their time at the club. They participate in activities and make independent choices from a good range of resources and play materials. n Staff have established effective links with the school that children attend. This helps to provide children with consistency in their care. n Partnerships with parents are good. Staff ensure that they share information with them about what the children have been doing during the day. n Children develop their creative skills. For example, as they build houses with construction materials, they use the available resources and make props to support their imaginative skills. n Children have many opportunities to learn the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. For example, they regularly play outdoors in the secure playground and are reminded to drink plenty of water to keep themselves hydrated.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Young children who are less confident are not always rigorously supported in developing new friendships. n The arrangements for the performance management and support of staff are not strong enough, to help raise the quality of their interactions with children to the highest level.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have completed training and understand how to help protect children. They are aware of the procedures to follow if they have a concern about a child. They understand how to identify any children who may be at risk of harm. Leaders have a good knowledge about how to support children's welfare. They follow safe recruitment and vetting procedures, to ensure that staff working with children are suitable. Leaders regularly complete quality checks and seek the views of staff and parents to evaluate the service provided and identify areas for further improvement. For example, they have recently introduced more outdoor resources to encourage children to be physically active.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of how to continue to support children's learning at school. They regularly share information about what children are learning with teachers and use this to plan appropriate activities that complement children's learning. This helps children to continue to build on the skills they need for their future. Children are keen to participate in activities led by staff, such as arts and crafts. They spend long periods making decorations using ribbons and small wooden discs with letters on them. Staff use these opportunities to help young children to name the letters, and recognise and spell out their own names. Children welcome staff joining in with their games and are happy to take turns and share. They demonstrate good skills in speaking and listening. For instance, they have discussions with each other about their own experiences and family lives, and listen with interest to what others have to say.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a safe and secure environment for children, with lots of space for them to play freely. Children behave well. They understand the rules of the club and cooperate well with staff. For instance, they understand they must be kind and respectful to each other and the club staff, and sit at the table for meals. Staff skilfully help children to keep themselves safe, such as reminding them that when they use scissors, they must handle them carefully to avoid harming themselves or others. Children have good opportunities to be physically active and are encouraged to lead a healthy lifestyle. For example, staff encourage them to make healthy food choices and ensure that they follow robust hygiene practices.
