Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • There are strong partnerships with the on-site school and some of the club staff also work at the school.

Staff know children well and there are strong systems in place to share information about children's care and needs. • Staff make the time to talk to parents and pass on any important messages from the school staff. Parents are regularly consulted and their views and opinions are acted on to adapt the service offered.

• Staff provide an enjoyable range of activities that links with children's interests. They place a high priority on ensuring children benefit from physical play activities and being outdoors in the fresh air. • Staff organise th...e session well to enable children to choose what they want to play with and the activities on offer.

They help children to increase their independence and self-help skills well. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not make the best possible use of all the available space to accommodate those children who want to rest and relax. • The managers do not incisively monitor staff practice and provide professional development opportunities to help raise the quality of staff interactions with children to an exceptional level.
