Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Children learn about their safety in the club and how to use equipment safely. 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 effective. Staff take time to talk to parents at the end of the session and share important messages from the class teacher. Parents are happy with the service offered by the club.

They express how staff are wonderful and how their children enjoy the play activities offered to them. • Children of all ages are confident and have good sel...f-esteem. They quickly settle in at the club and develop warm and affectionate relationships with staff.

Their good behaviour shows they are happy and feel emotionally secure. • Children eagerly take part in creative activities. They make pictures using various resources and express their creativity as they use materials to compile their own special books.

They take great pride in their achievements and enjoy sharing these with visitors, staff and their friends. It is not yet outstanding because: • Staff do not always give less-confident children enough encouragement to join in activities with other children, or fully consider ways to support children to make friends. • Staff do not present activities and resources in a way that is consistently attractive to children and sparks their curiosity and imagination.
