This provision is outstanding

 Children are extremely happy and settled, in this warm and welcoming club and have exceptionally secure emotional attachments to staff. They confidently seek staff out for a chat and invite them to join in their activities.  Children behave exceptionally well. Consistent boundaries are in place, supporting children effectively to know what is expected of them. Staff act as excellent role models and actively encourage children to make safe and positive choices.  Reflective practice is fully embedded in the club's self-evaluation. As a result, strengths and areas for development are accurately identified and managed. This supports the club's constant pursuit of excellence and the highest level of achievements for children.  Staff develop excellent partnerships with the local schools that children attend. They are committed to working together with them, to share information, support children's learning and ensure that each child's individual needs are fully met.

who attend. This is outstanding

Staff fully understand how children learn. They provide rich, varied and highly stimulating resources, both indoors and outside. They significantly support children to develop their skills for life and motivation to be ready for the next stage in their learning. Staff actively support children's decisions and ensure that children play undisturbed in activities of their choice. Staff skilfully know when to step back, and when to intervene and extend activities, ensuring that each child is actively supported in their development. Staff notice when children are not engaged in activities and effectively encourage them to join in games. Younger children enjoy playing imaginatively, based on their own experiences. They pretend to make tea for others and staff expertly extend activities. For example, when they count the number of bugs in a game, staff introduce mathematical language, such as 'more than' and encourage children to compare groups of bugs.

outstanding

The exceptional arrangements to care for children supports their well-being. New children are happy and, as a result, settle-in quickly. Children are allocated a key person who takes responsibility for their care, play experiences and establishes excellent relationships with parents. All staff know the children well. However, a second named key person, to take responsibility in the absence of the main carer, is not in place. Staff are extremely good role models and provide a highly stimulating, safe and secure environment, where children's physical well-being is actively promoted. Staff have a comprehensive understanding of child protection procedures and are vigilant about supporting children's welfare. Children are actively encouraged to think about the consequences of their actions and to consider the feelings of others. Older children respond exceptionally well to younger children attending the club, and show kindness and consideration. Staff recognise

that older children need their own space, and this is managed exceptionally well by making superb use of the rooms available.

p.3

provision is outstanding

Staff are highly motivated and enthusiastic. They are led by a management team that is committed to providing an exceptionally high-quality care and learning experience for all children. Self-evaluation is thorough and takes into account the views of staff, children and parents. Identified areas for improvement are quickly and comprehensively addressed. Staff support, coaching and mentoring is robust, to ensure a consistently high level of practice. Staff practice and training needs are effectively monitored and supported, resulting in high-quality practices being consistently promoted, such as a collaborative approach to managing behaviour. This results in children being very well behaved and understanding the consistent boundaries. The club rooms are calm and children play harmoniously together.
