This provision is outstanding

 The enthusiastic management and staff team continue to work together in a highly effective and dedicated way to provide an excellent out-of-school provision.  The valuable views, opinions and ideas of children, staff, parents and teachers are all sought in a variety of ways. These are used imaginatively to help create an enjoyable environment for children, before and after school.  Children move very confidently around the club, make independent choices and also enjoy planned activities. They are highly motivated and enthusiastic to try new activities and games in a lively environment.  Staff know each child exceptionally well. They promote children's emotional well-being highly effectively through recognising their personal achievements.  Staff have consistently high behavioural expectations. They take great care to develop children's social skills, and help children to consider the feelings of others and the

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Management and staff are highly motivated in their roles. Excellent recruitment, induction and support procedures help staff to provide high-quality provision. Staff are knowledgeable and constantly strive to develop their skills. Management supports staff to participate in training to develop their professional knowledge and qualifications. This leads to a team who uses its knowledge to constantly evaluate, make changes and continually improve practice. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have an excellent knowledge of the procedures to follow if they have any welfare concerns about a child. Exceptional relationships develop between staff, parents and the school. All staff work successfully in partnership with others to effectively promote children's ongoing welfare needs. Every child is highly recognised as an individual and staff value children's backgrounds.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff use their expert knowledge and skills to skilfully extend children's abilities through their play. They increase children's self-confidence and willingness to learn extremely well. Each child's achievements are recognised and celebrated within the club. Staff effectively plan in partnership with children. The activities engage, stimulate and motivate children's enjoyment and thinking. Children become engrossed in their play and activities. They show great enthusiasm and commitment towards completing their activities. Staff provide excellent support and encouragement for children to develop their abilities to make choices, increase their knowledge and learn new skills. For example, children thoroughly enjoy learning about wind socks and how to make them. They experiment with the materials and show great concentration on the task. Younger children learn from older children; for example, as they play ball games and table-top games together.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff successfully encourage children to be inquisitive, independent and confident. They help children to learn about personal safety extremely well. For example, children know about staying safe in the sun and remind each other about why they need to apply sun cream. Children are highly involved in choosing their preferred games and explaining the rules to others. They thoroughly enjoy being involved in decision-making, including how to reward others for acts of kindness. They enjoy the freedom of outdoor play and enthusiastically participate in games where they use their energy and develop physical skills. However, although children can participate in quieter activities, staff offer fewer opportunities for them to relax in comfort, when they need to. Children learn to choose healthy recipes and ingredients for cooking, and learn about different foods from around the world. Staff encourage them to be highly involved in managing their good health.
