Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • Children have positive relationships with the warm and caring staff team. They settle well, develop a positive sense of belonging and make friends easily. Children behave well, are polite and consider each other's needs as they play.

• Parents are happy with the club. They state that their children enjoy attending and have good relationships with the staff. Staff share daily information with parents about their children's experiences.

• Staff support children well in developing their communication and language skills. For example, they encourage children to recognise letter sounds as they complete phonic jigsaws. • Staff encourage older children ...to 'buddy up' with the younger children.

This helps, along with the effective key-person system, to settle younger children into the club very quickly. • Staff do not gather enough information from parents about children's interests and experiences when they first start, to help them make the most of their time in the club. • Staff have not yet developed a regular, two-way flow of information with the host school, to better identify any additional support that can be provided to enhance young children's existing skills.
