someone to play with.  Children's behaviour is impeccable. Staff promote this through an effective reward system. Excellent behaviour is rewarded with 'golden time'.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are vigilant at keeping children safe at all times. The provider regularly tests their knowledge of safeguarding procedures. All staff have attended child protection training and those responsible for safeguarding in the club share their further knowledge with all staff. Leaders are fully aware of recent changes to safeguarding legislation. Children benefit from advice on how to keep safe. Information is displayed around the club and local police officers are invited to visit. As a result, children have an excellent knowledge of how to keep themselves safe, such as keeping safe on the internet. Professional development of staff is accurately based on their needs identified through appraisal and supervision meetings. Managers provide excellent training days for staff to build upon their already outstanding knowledge and skills. Self-evaluation helps to drive the club forward. The views of others are sought tirelessly by the provider

and she also regularly seeks updates from national organisations. She uses this information to continually review the club and offer children exciting and new experiences. For example, the provider has plans in place to enhance the outdoor area to enrich children's play opportunities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Partnerships with schools are exceptional. The club works with them extremely well to share information about children's achievements and needs. They also use information from schools about children's topics and targets to plan experiences. This helps children consolidate their learning and extend their ideas even further. For example, children gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of poppies to remember those who have fought in war. Staff help children to explore their interest in World War history. They find out about the role their own family members had during those times and bring in photographs to share. The schools value that some children may learn differently in the club. Teachers use information from the club to support their own assessment of children's progress. Staff are well qualified and the provider deploys staff effectively to make the most of their expertise. For example, staff who are creative, work with children to recreate individual

Monet-style paintings of poppies in honour of Remembrance Day. An extremely varied and wide range of activities is on offer to children. Activities reflect different events and celebrations, such as Halloween and Bonfire Night.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's health and well-being are promoted through excellent hygiene routines. They understand the importance of good handwashing techniques. Children benefit from expert advice on how to keep healthy provided by nurses who are invited to visit the club. There is an excellent range of nutritious snacks on offer to children. Mealtimes enable children to develop their independence further. For example, children make up their own tortilla wraps selecting their fillings and learning how to fold their wraps correctly. Children have developed secure attachments with staff who encourage them to talk about their feelings. This helps to increase children's self-esteem to a high level. Children have a strong sense of belonging and enthuse confidence. They show visitors around the club and share what is special to them. They are confident and respect differences in their peers.
