Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are extremely skilled at devising exciting activities, such as superheroes or water play, and then adding a new dimension to them. Children enjoy a great deal of choice. Staff help children to think in advance about how they will accomplish new challenges. For example, they talk through sequences of events and skilfully help children to plan, follow instructions, predict and speculate what will happen because of their actions. Staff give children plenty of opportunities to express their ideas, shape their personal and team goals and talk through their experiences. They help children rehearse rules for new games and negotiate new ones of their own. Staff are highly successful in encouraging and supporting children to develop new skills. They sensitively adapt the activities to meet children's individual needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Excellent communication with parents, as children join the club, ensures staff understand children's needs extremely well. Children settle in quickly and flourish. Staff frequently praise, encourage and strengthen children's self-esteem and confidence. Staff ensure children benefit from extensive opportunities to learn new skills and keep safe when they play outdoors. For instance, children skilfully practise moving hoops, kicking balls and throwing at targets in safe spaces. Staff thoughtfully nurture children's creativity and respect their need for quieter times. They encourage children's sense of pride in being one of a team and being willing to have a go. Children show immense satisfaction with their personal achievements and delight in other people's success. August 2016 4 of 5
