This provision is outstanding

 Staff provide children with an excellent range of exciting activities, which enhance their learning at school and enables them to make extremely good progress. They are fully engaged in their learning as their choices are respected and activities are planned accordingly.  There are excellent relationships between all staff and children at the club. The key- person system is highly successful and ensures that children make strong emotional attachments. Highly effective behaviour management strategies, help children learn to manage their own behaviour extremely well.  Children are kept extremely safe as staff have an excellent understanding and knowledge of child protection. They are exceptionally well trained in ensuring children are safe whilst on the premises and on outings. Children demonstrate an exceedingly good understanding of how to manage risks to keep themselves and others safe during their activities, or when away from the premises.

who attend. This is outstanding

The well-qualified staff team provide a superb range of exciting and challenging activities. As a result, children are enthusiastic and motivated to learn. Children are regularly asked about the activities they enjoy most, and how they would like to develop these. There is an excellent balance between child-initiated and adult-led activities. This means that all children are guided effectively and encouraged in their learning so that they make extremely good progress. Vibrant activities are planned, which complement and extend children's learning at school. For example, children develop their counting skills as they engage in a lively game of hide and seek. Consequently, children gain the skills, abilities and attitudes that prepare them exceptionally well for the next stage in their learning, or school. Partnerships between staff, parents and the nursery and school are exceptional, and ensures that children's individual needs are extremely well met.

outstanding

Children develop high levels of self-esteem through praise and encouragement when they do well, or are kind, and their views are valued by staff. They teach children to make healthy food and lifestyle choices through topic-work, and provide opportunities for daily fresh air and exercise. Staff reward children for positive behaviour and they learn to cooperate with each other through their many team games and shared activities. They are developing an exceptional understanding of the needs of others and how to manage their feelings, through sensitive and highly-skilled staff intervention. Older children are exceptionally kind and caring towards younger children; they include them in their games and help them when they need it. For example, they show them how to make models with construction materials and teach them the rules of outdoor ball games. Children form extremely close bonds with their key person who is responsible for their learning and well-

being. The key person liaises regularly with parents and school staff, which means children's continuing success at school is extremely well supported.

provision is outstanding

The onsite manager, area manager and two providers make up a highly effective and inspirational management team. Staff give safeguarding very high priority and are fully aware of their roles and responsibilities to ensure children are protected from harm. Self- evaluation is well documented and highlights the strong emphasis on maintaining high levels of achievement for all children. Children and parents are involved in the process through questionnaires and discussions. Their views are listened to, and ideas and suggestions are implemented. High-quality systems for professional supervisions are in place, through discussions, and one-to-one meetings with the senior management team. However, the system of evaluation of staff performance, through peer-on-peer observation, is less well developed, in order to encourage staff to learn through honest and critical reflection. Staff receive targeted professional development training, which

ensures that their knowledge, understanding and skills are consistently updated.
