Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Self-evaluation helps to promote good continual improvement. The manager uses the views of parents and children to help make improvements to the service.

For example, she has recently improved the range of toys on offer and the variety of snacks available based on parents' and children's suggestions. • Children have strong attachments to the staff at the club. For example, children who are upset after school appreciate the emotional support and comfort that staff provide.

This helps them to feel reassured. • Children's behaviour is good. Staff promote this positively and effectively.

For instance, when children behave well, they reward th...em by giving them a certificate. This helps to reinforce children's understanding of good behaviour. • Staff plan play experiences to help build on children's interests.

They ask children what they want to play with and then provide these toys or activities. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not gather detailed information from parents about all their children's skills when they first start attending. • Staff do not work closely enough with teachers at the host school to provide experiences in the club that help individual children fully build on their learning from school.
