Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • One of the owners, who is the manager, works in the club and, therefore, directly leads the committed and well-qualified staff team. They actively oversee what happens in the club and the planning for improvements.

The views of children and parents are regularly gained to identify strengths and target areas for improvement. • Children behave well. They demonstrate emotional security with the caring and friendly staff.

Staff are good role models. They are deployed well and provide clear guidance for children about what is acceptable behaviour. • Staff build good relationships with parents.

Parents speak highly of the club and appreciate t...he good care the staff provide. They comment that their children are happy and settled and enjoy coming to the club. • Staff provide a broad range of resources and activities in a friendly environment.

Many of these arise from children's ideas and suggestions which are gained, for instance, at group times. • The staff in the club have good partnerships in place with the host school. They share information about children's care and progress successfully.

This supports continuity for children. • Although clear processes for performance management and the supervision of staff are in place, the manager does not yet evaluate staff's interactions critically enough to develop their practice to a consistently outstanding level. • Staff do not always promptly obtain information about children's interests before they start in the club to complement their learning further.
