Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The qualified staff have a good understanding of children's needs. They implement a 'buddy' system to support new children to make friends and settle at the club quickly. Children are remarkably confident, happy and relaxed.

They have strong bonds with key staff and laugh and share jokes with them. • Staff support children's mathematical skills particularly well. For instance, they take opportunities that arise to support children to compare objects by size and count and calculate as they play.

• Staff work well with teaching staff at the host school to promote continuity of care. They find out what children are learning at school to enable them ...to complement this through activities at the club. • The management team is dedicated and ambitious, and actively seeks and acts on feedback from staff, parents and children to drive continued improvement.

For example, the manager plans to develop links with other local providers to share ideas and examples of best practice. • Systems to support staff's continued professional development are not highly focused on identifying training needs to raise the quality of their interactions even further. • Staff do not provide the very best opportunities for children to independently select resources and make decisions about their play.
