Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The innovative leadership of the manager means that all staff have excellent opportunities to further their professional development. This enables children to receive consistently high-quality learning experiences which, in addition to staff's experience and expertise, makes a significant contribution to outstanding practice. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider and all staff create a culture of vigilance where children's safety and welfare are promoted to the highest level. The manager supports the staff team extremely well through regular and focused staff meetings, appraisals and supervision sessions. Parents comment that their children thoroughly enjoy the club's activities. They appreciate the exceptionally high level of care that their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff work extremely well together to plan the main activities. Children are regularly asked about the activities they enjoy most and how they would like to develop these. This enables staff to plan accordingly so that children's individual learning needs are very well met. Children initiate many activities themselves through the skilful guidance and support from staff. They particularly enjoy working creatively in the art area. For example, they use all materials available to them, showing skill and control, to create portraits of staff and each other and build models. Staff place a high priority on helping children to enhance their physical skills and communication and language skills. In addition, they place a strong emphasis on promoting children's personal, social and emotional development. This helps children gain the skills, abilities and attitudes that provide them with an extremely firm foundation for their future learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff work hard to ensure that all children feel welcome and valued, and place a high focus on promoting their well-being. They speak with each child as they come into the club and discuss how they are feeling and what they have done in school. Children of all ages play extremely well together. They develop confidence, independence and self- control during their activities. For example, they write a list of children who want to use the computer tablet. When they have had their turn they cross their name off the list and seek out the child whose turn it is next. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour, which are reinforced with clear and simple rules that they understand. Children are involved in setting the rules of the club and they develop an excellent understanding of the reasons for the rules. For example, older children are aware of the needs of younger children, and they learn to respect each other, staff and resources. Children
