Summary of key findings for parents

This provision is good Children are animated and excited as they arrive at the club.

They build secure relationships with staff and are eager to share their daily experiences and achievements from school. Children play very well together across the differing age groups and older children are positive role models. Respect, tolerance and acceptance are golden rules which permeate what life is like at the club.

Children behave extremely well and have a deep understanding of the diverse community they belong to. They speak with confidence about accepting others for who they are and articulately discuss the make-up of different families, such as having two dads. Staff promote... children's physical skills well.

They skilfully plan an array of enjoyable play experiences, which challenge and support children's large-muscle skills. Children have a strong sense of belonging and settle very well. Staff are allocated time to get to know children during the settling-in period and effectively support their physical and emotional well-being.

Children are self-confident, resilient and motivated individuals who never give up until a task or challenge is complete. Overall, partnership working is good. Links with the local authority, community and parents are robust.

Parents receive daily verbal feedback and get regular newsletters. It is not yet outstanding because: Staff do not always ensure that they share information from the host primary school to consistently support children's learning through play.
