Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • The provider and her manager are ambitious. They use the skills of staff to enhance the experiences for children. For example, a member of staff with a qualification in linguistics, is helping children to learn to speak Spanish.

• Comments from parents are very positive. They state that children are happy and enjoy attending this safe and friendly club. • Overall, staff are well qualified and have high expectations of children's abilities.

Staff interact very well with children and help children to feel confident to share their thoughts and ideas. • Children behave well. They follow instructions and are learning to co-operate with others.

...>Older children show a great deal of care and consideration towards younger children. • Children enjoy selecting from the wide range of interesting play resources and activities provided for them. They particularly enjoy art and craft activities, such as creating owls made out of different materials.

It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff are not using their discussions with school teachers to fully explore what skills individual children are developing at school. This does not help staff to fully complement and extend children's learning. • Staff are not helping children to understand the differences between themselves and others, in relation to the languages some children speak at home.
