Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children learn about their safety in the club and how to use equipment carefully. Staff are vigilant with regard to safety and potential risks are identified and minimised.

Access to the club is overseen by a member of staff, and children are only released into the care of known adults. • Partnerships with parents are well established. Parents appreciate the friendliness of staff and the invaluable service they provide for them.

• Managers and staff have secure knowledge of how to protect children from harm. Clear policies and procedures are implemented to ensure children are kept safe at all times. • Children develop good independence and manage ...their personal needs well during the club's daily activities and routines.

Children are confident and display a good sense of belonging. • Staff use different strategies well, such as modelling new language and asking open questions, to engage children in meaningful and interesting conversations. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not collate enough information from the teachers in the host school about children's interests and progress to ensure these are fully complemented in the activities at the club.
