Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Caring and attentive staff provide a warm, welcoming environment where children form close relationships with them and with each other. Children are happy, relaxed and feel safe and secure.

• Parents speak positively about the club. They say their children enjoy attending the club and that staff keep them well informed about activities, to help to provide a consistent approach to children's care and play. Links with the local authority and local primary schools are good.

• Children's behaviour is good. Staff are positive role models who speak respectfully to children and they model the use of good manners. Children are polite, sociable, and learn ...to share and take turns.

• Staff have a secure understanding of how to promote healthy lifestyles. They encourage children to follow good hygiene practices and children learn about healthy food. • Children of all ages show high levels of engagement and focus during their activities.

They listen attentively to instructions and respond appropriately to clear guidance. It is not yet outstanding because: • Leaders do not monitor group activities effectively enough to ensure that they fully engage younger children. • Systems for self-evaluation are not yet sufficiently focused to raise the quality of practice even further.
