p.1

This provision is outstanding

 Leaders and staff work superbly well together as a team to reflect on the provision. Parents and children are wholly included in the evaluation, with their views sought through different questionnaires and evaluations. This supports the team to develop priorities for future improvement.  Leaders implement a comprehensive programme of professional development, regular in-house training and support to ensure the qualified staff are exceptionally confident and skilled in their roles.  Staff provide a remarkably rich, varied and imaginative range of activities and resources for children to explore and enjoy each day. Resources and activities reflect the interests and preferences of those attending as children are regularly consulted and take an incredibly active role in evaluating the activities. Therefore, children are extremely keen to take part.  Children's behaviour is exemplary. They are exceptionally polite and respectful, and

consider the needs and feelings of others. For example, older children wholly include the younger ones in their play.  Parents are extremely happy with the service provided. Leaders and staff frequently seek their views on the provision. Parents comment that staff are exceptionally responsive to meeting children's emotional and physical needs.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. It is included as part of the comprehensive induction process for all members of staff. Staff have an excellent understanding about child protection issues so they are confident in dealing with concerns about the welfare of a child. Since the last inspection leaders have improved and further developed systems of risk assessments to help keep children safe and secure at all times. For example, children are now encouraged to complete their own risk assessments to reflect on risks from their actions. Staff recruitment and vetting processes are rigorous and suitability is reviewed regularly to help protect children from harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff interactions with children are extremely positive and of a high quality. They engage with the children exceptionally well and skilfully promote children's curiosity to find out more information on things that spark their interest and imagination. For example, children were incredibly interested in play figures from Greek mythology which promoted a great deal of questions and discussion on the legends relating to the various figures. Children were exceptionally keen to find more information using reference books to extend their knowledge. Children are motivated and remain engaged in activities for considerable lengths of time. Staff provide children with some incredibly challenging activities that promote children to work together as a team. For example, children practised how to skilfully control the movement of a ball attached to strings by coordinating their movements with a partner. Staff support children's originality and creativity exceptionally

well. For example, children used natural resources to create very individual objects, such as spiders, webs, dream catchers and bird nests.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children demonstrate an exceptional understanding of boundaries and safe practices. For example, they clearly understand the staff's high expectations of their behaviour, such as road safety on the walk back from the school to ensure the journey is a happy and safe one. Staff ensure that children are fully included in decision making. For example, they are regularly consulted with the review of the codes of expected behaviour in the club. Children develop very high self-confidence and excellent social skills, and are very independent. For example, they are fully involved in preparing their own snack at the self- service cafe and clearing away after they have eaten. However, opportunities for children to take responsibility, such as managing their own systems for turn taking, are not as strong. Children enjoy being outside and physically active. For example, they have free access to outdoor play and enjoy developing their ball and den-building skills.
