Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The inspirational managers work extremely closely with the competent staff team. They place a high priority on staff training and development to ensure that staff consistently develop the expertise to support and encourage play opportunities for young children. Staff constantly improve the excellent experiences for children, which build on the skills that children learn in school. Although children enjoy a wide variety of experiences throughout the club, managers are aware that the outdoor environment is not as effective as the indoor area. The managers ensure that staff supervise children vigilantly to consistently promote children's safety and well-being. All staff are very knowledgeable about how to protect children. If there are concerns about children's welfare, managers follow robust procedures to ensure that they protect children from harm. Safeguarding is effective. The managers build extremely strong links with parents and teachers at the

school. There is excellent information sharing, which promotes continuity of care and learning to the highest level.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff know children exceptionally well. They understand each child's needs and offer high quality tailored support. Children are extremely creative and use their imaginations exceptionally well. For example, they spent time creating rockets from the abundance of natural resources available, showing excellent concentration skills. Staff take the time to listen to children's interests to extend their learning. For instance, they fostered children's interest in space and discussed different planets, skilfully reinforcing shape, size and colour. Children thrive in the nurturing environment; they show growing confidence and exceptional levels of self-control during their activities. All children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club and are eager to attend.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children behave exceptionally well. For example, older children support their younger peers, teaching them new ball skills. Younger children show patience, listen to, and show exceptional levels of kindness to their peers. Children take managed risks, learning to play safely, indoors and outdoors. For example, children confidently learn new skills as they move on the dance mat. Children develop excellent independence skills and grow in confidence. For example, they make decisions and select their snack from the wide range of nutritious foods available. Children show high levels of creativity and have great fun making their own sandwiches. Staff skilfully encourage children's communication skills, for example, as they talk about the benefits of different foods.
