Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The key-person system is effective and well established.

New children settle very quickly and form excellent bonds with their key person and other staff. Children of all ages are happy, content and emotionally secure. • The dedicated management team work hard together to continually improve and raise standards across the club.

Self-evaluation is robust and includes the views of parents, children and staff. • Partnership working with local schools that children attend is well established. Staff work closely with teachers to share a wealth of information.

The information shared helps to ensure that children benefit from continuity in their... care and learning. • Well-qualified staff support children's communication skills very well. They skilfully encourage children to take turns in discussions and share their ideas.

Children enjoy talking about their news from home and school and develop good communication and language skills. • Children's behaviour is good. Staff are positive role models.

They give clear guidance about expected behaviour. Older children are particularly caring and warm towards their younger peers and help them to feel valued and confident. Children share, take turns and genuinely enjoy each other's company.

• Staff share some useful information with parents about individual children's care and learning. However, this partnership is not yet embedded well enough so that information about the organisation and routines of the club are shared consistently. • The responsible person for the club has not fully understood the requirement to notify Ofsted of changes.
