Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The manager provides ambitious and clear leadership. Staff are well supported by the senior management team, who carries out regular detailed supervision.

It observes the quality of staff's interactions with children, supporting staff's improvements where necessary. This has a positive impact on the quality of teaching. • Children have great fun at the club and are keen and enthusiastic to participate in activities.

They laugh and chat animatedly as they play. • Parents speak highly about the club. They say they can see their children gaining new skills and growing in confidence.

• Staff are very welcoming at the club. They are relentless...ly cheerful and demonstrate great skills at putting children at their ease. Uncertain children settle quickly and are soon joining in.

• The manager continually assesses the quality of the club, including views of parents and staff. • Staff provide an inclusive environment where children of different ages build strong friendships and play very happily together. This supports children's personal, social and emotional development well.

It is not yet outstanding because: • Children's needs and interests are well supported during adult-led activities. However, on occasion during free-play sessions, staff do not support children's interests as consistently as they could. • At times, staff are too quick to carry out self-help tasks which children are easily able to do for themselves.
