p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are very knowledgeable about how to protect children and keep them safe. If there are concerns about children's welfare, staff closely follow rigorous procedures to ensure they protect children from harm. Managers consistently strive to improve their provision and the outcomes for children. The staff work extremely well together led by the inspiring management team. Managers place a high priority on staff training and monitor staff extremely closely to develop high quality teaching. This has a significant impact on the quality of the learning experiences that staff provide for children, which means that they thrive and enjoy their time at the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide highly varied experiences to support what children are learning at school and to accelerate their progress towards the next stages in their learning. For example, all children thoroughly enjoy exploring the stimulating environment and learn to follow instructions, listen, and communicate; at the same time they develop confidence and self- esteem. Children who decide not to play outdoors have great fun engaging in imaginary play indoors, such as 'shops' with their friends. Staff join in children's play and show a genuine interest, such as when encouraging children to think about healthy options as they write their shopping lists. Staff offer encouragement, clarify ideas and extend children's creativity and thinking extremely well. For example, children had great fun creating masks and used their excellent imaginative skills to take on different roles. On occasion, there are fewer opportunities for children to develop their own ideas during

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely well behaved. For example, new children sit and listen to the managers about fire evacuation drills and contribute to the conversation. The links with the school and excellent communication with teachers and parents mean that staff can quickly get to know each child. This enables staff to be extremely adaptable and responsive to children's needs and provide highly challenging experiences to support their emotional well-being. Children benefit from excellent opportunities to learn about being healthy and keeping themselves safe. For example, staff encourage them to take part in an extensive variety of physical games. Staff are extremely positive role models. All children behave exceptionally well. For example, they treat each other with respect. Older children are extremely kind and considerate towards their younger peers.
