who attend. This is outstanding

Staff use their knowledge to inspire children's play. Staff support the younger children exceptionally well and, therefore, they become confident in the club's routines. Management and staff create a challenging and stimulating environment where the atmosphere is incredibly positive and encouraging. Staff use excellent planning systems to ensure activities and learning experiences fully support children's interests. Children express their views and state that they love coming to the club. Staff very skilfully enable children to take ownership of their environment by enabling them to make the choices about what they need and how they are going to achieve it. Children enjoy playing with 'cloud dough', putting on a show or playing hide and seek outside with their friends. As a result, activities are extremely well balanced and keep children's attention. Throughout the session, children engage in conversation with staff, developing their communication skills.

outstanding

Children develop very good relationships with each other and staff. Staff make excellent use of resources. The indoor and outdoor play areas are very well organised to ensure children can take part in a wide variety of activities. Staff foster opportunities to develop children's physical skills very well. Children have excellent opportunities to climb, run and catch. Staff teach the children about good hygiene routines and children independently take themselves off to wash their hands. Children behave exceptionally well; staff are extremely consistent in dealing with any behavioural issues which may arise. Children learn how to stay safe as they follow clear guidance on safety when playing in the inside and outside areas. This demonstrates that staff are extremely effective in supporting children's understanding of how to behave in order to keep themselves and those around them safe.
