Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The newly appointed manager is well qualified and enthusiastic. He has taken time to evaluate the current provision and implement change.

For example, he has created a comfy area for children to relax and look at books, and developed further outdoor play opportunities. • Staff spend time getting to know children and build strong relationships with them. Children are happy, settled and secure.

• The club has an effective key-person system. This helps staff ensure the youngest children's well-being is suitably managed and enables good links are built with parents. • Children's behaviour is very good.

They understand the importance of being ...kind and considerate to each other. All age groups of children play together well, and older children show great empathy towards younger children. Praise from staff helps ensure all children feel valued and respected.

• Staff have developed good links with the host primary school and share relevant information between parents and teachers to enable everyone to meet children's needs. It is not yet outstanding because: • The provider does not always explore further development opportunities to assist staff to extend their skills, such as in helping them to engage children more effectively in their play. • Staff do not consistently provide children with a good range of nutritious snacks and drinks to support their awareness of healthy eating.
