p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The extremely successful partnership working with the host school has resulted in exceptional access to school resources and information sharing. Children are cared by the same staff who work alongside their school teachers and in the same environment. This has resulted in outstanding continuity for children's extended school day. Staff are highly supported and committed to making sure children have a very enjoyable time at the club. The provider continually seeks to improve upon the club's already first-rate practice. Plans are in place for a staff member to use her specialised training, so that children can take part in Forest School activities in the outdoor nature area. Safeguarding is effective. Safeguarding policies and procedures are comprehensive and consistently implemented by staff, who are vigilant in making sure children are kept safe at all times. Staff are fully alert to the signs and symptoms that may give cause for concern about a child's welfare.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Staff are confident in the action they must take to report their concerns. Robust recruitment, vetting and ongoing suitability checks are in place and help to ensure adults are suitable to work with children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are highly skilled in supporting children's interest and complementing their learning at school. They help children to continue to practise and develop their confidence and ability in solving simple problems with number, shape, size and measure. Children enjoy being highly creative and imaginative. Staff engage children in conversations that help them to think and plan, to sustain their interest. Children are eager to experiment and learn through trial and error. They have great fun achieving their own goals and interacting with older children outdoors. This includes activities, such as making an enclosure outdoors by using skipping ropes and wheeled toys, with the aim of capturing older children. Children take part in a variety of highly stimulating activities that help them to follow their interests and extend their physical skills. For example, children practise their cycling skills using their bicycles from home. They play cricket and football and enjoy

playing in a large paddling pool when the weather is fine.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are highly effective in supporting children to manage their own behaviour. Children help to develop and implement club rules and learn to manage risks and challenges safely. They demonstrate exceptional positive behaviour and high levels of self-control. They ask politely to have a go and wait their turn to use and share resources. They listen intently to each other and staff, and they negotiate and cooperate with each other. Children choose to include and continue with school rules. They use the friendship stop and older children take on the role of club leaders to help children resolve any conflicts they may have. Children are sociable and eager to interact with visitors. They contribute to community fund raising activities. They take part in a wide range of activities that help them to develop understanding of people and communities beyond their own.
