Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good • The manager has a good overview of the provision. She works well with the staff team to provide a range of activities for children to take part in after a busy day at school.

• Children are emotionally secure. They are very settled and happy. Staff take the time to get to know them and provide them with opportunities that interest them.

• Staff ensure children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported. Children's health and medical needs are given the highest regard. The manager ensures that staff receive training and are provided with the information needed to ensure all children's individual needs are met.

•... Children's behaviour is good. They play very well with their peers and mix well in different age groups. Children show respect and tolerance for each other and adults; they are polite and considerate.

• Children have good opportunities for physical activities. Staff make good use of the outdoor areas and children love to play football on the school field. Children skilfully pass the ball to one another and older children encourage the younger children to join in.

• The premises are safe and secure. Staff complete risk assessments and identify and minimise any risks to children. They teach children to take responsibility for keeping themselves safe.

• Although partnerships with the school and parents have been developed, communication is not consistently shared at the highest level so that experiences offered complement the learning taking place in school. • The manager is working with staff to evaluate the provision overall and children are involved in the process. However, staff do not yet fully reflect on and identify how they can further enhance some activities to provide children with the very best of experiences.
