This provision is outstanding

 Coaches expertly lead well-planned activities that are extremely interesting and challenging. For example, children are divided into groups and take turns rolling a dice. They collect the corresponding number of building bricks in their groups and build models cooperatively. Children develop skills across all areas of learning as they play.  Children have excellent opportunities to initiate their own play. There is a great balance of adult-led and spontaneous play. For example, children play with remote controlled cars, creating their own race tracks and rules for a race. They play fairly with others.  Children have great opportunities to use their creativity during art activities. For example, they paint animals on cardboard as they learn about nature. Children use their creations to decorate carts that they use for a racing activity outdoors.  Following the last inspection, immediate actions were taken to improve the ongoing

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Leaders and coaches participate in regular safeguarding and child protection training. They are confident about the steps to take should concerns arise about children's welfare. Leaders are highly committed to protecting children. They follow strict recruitment procedures and are expert in preparing coaches for their roles. There are thorough induction, training and supervision meetings for coaches. Leaders review coaches' suitability to work with children through regular checks. Leaders and coaches are confident in implementing new ideas for children. There is a highly effective culture of reflective practice, which always involves parents. Ensuring children's safety is the utmost priority. There are meticulous procedures to risk assess play areas and sport games. Children are closely supervised at all times. Additionally, there are strict procedures to collect children from the club. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Coaches work with parents in inspirational partnerships to promote children's learning. Ideas are expertly exchanged to ensure that support for children is continuous. For example, coaches skilfully obtain detailed information from parents about children's cultural backgrounds. They innovatively celebrate festivals with children at the club. All activities for children are astutely planned, across all areas of learning. For example, children eagerly play 'soak the coach', and when in groups they decide on tricky questions to ask coaches. When coaches get the answer wrong, children make them wet with water. When children get the answer wrong, they get wet. Coaches confidently adapt activities and inspirationally meet all children's interests. For example, children enjoy varied writing tools to draw animals. Then, they decide to draw clothes with animal prints, while coaches expertly engage them in talking about their outfits and fashion. Children have access to a

wide range of interesting books, developing literacy and mathematical skills at a fast pace as they play. However, there is capacity to enhance the variety of resources to boost children's opportunities for their imagination and role play. The highly qualified coaches are outstanding teachers, who meticulously observe and assess children's skills. They are talented in promoting children's learning through play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are very comfortable and settled at the club. They eagerly participate in routines that are expertly designed to promote their independence, confidence and social skills. Children enjoy group activities with others of different ages, which allow them to learn skills from each other. Mealtimes are social opportunities when children learn about healthy eating, hygiene and self-care. Children build strong attachments with coaches, who skilfully invest in quality time with them. Children speak highly of coaches and parents relate that they are always excited about going to the club. Coaches expertly involve children in learning the importance of keeping fit and active. Discussions with children are targeted to encourage them to try their best at all they do. Children learn to cheer and celebrate each other's achievements. They are physically active throughout the day, but also benefit from quiet activities and time to rest. Children learn about what is

right and wrong, and develop an exceptional awareness of personal safety.
