Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Staff know the children well because they take time to listen to what they say. Effective systems are in place to evaluate the quality of provision and make improvements that benefit the children.

Children arrive at the club to find a wide range of favourite and fun activities to share with their peers. These help complement the skills and knowledge that children develop at school. Partnerships with parents are good.

Parents are very pleased with the way the club operates and the good care they feel their children receive. All relevant information is shared about children's unique needs. This enables staff to put in place any specific support requi...red to assist children's progress towards the early learning goals.

The arrangements for collecting children from a number of schools are very well thought out and implemented efficiently. This helps to keep children safe and well protected. Staff have a pleasant manner and provide children with good examples of how to interact with each other.

Staff ensure that the way they care for the children supports them in behaving well and playing courteously with one another. Children are given time and space to follow freely their own ideas and make choices independentlyIt is not yet outstanding because: Children are not helped to fully understand why a nutritious diet and physical exercise are important for good health. Performance management is not fully effective in driving improvements in staff's interactions with children.
