Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children attending the club form strong friendships. They demonstrate that they are happy and settled.

• The staff evaluate the club in different ways. For example, they regularly look at the effectiveness of their policies and procedures. Additionally, the management team reviews feedback from parents, children and staff.

The team uses this feedback to positively reward individual staff members for their continued efforts. • Staff promote children's safety. They complete regular risk assessments to ensure that risks and hazards are minimised.

Additionally, staff encourage children to understand the importance of their personal safety. Fo...r example, they support children to tidy up after their play to reduce trip hazards. • Children benefit from good opportunities to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

They have daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise and they use a wide range of resources, such as climbing equipment, which encourages their physical development. • Staff observe children and plan activities that link to their interests. This helps children to enjoy the time they spend at the club.

It is not yet outstanding because: • The monitoring of staff practice is not being used as effectively as possible to drive forward the quality of the provision for children. • Staff do not always engage parents in what their children are doing at the club. • Although children enjoy their time at the club and they choose from resources available to them, staff have not considered ways to encourage them to take a more active role in the day-to-day planning of activities.
