p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The extremely knowledgeable and competent management team implements secure and thorough recruitment and monitoring procedures. This helps to ensure staff continue to be suitable to work with children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager works exceptionally closely with the school safeguarding team, and all staff complete regular child protection training. This supports staff's in-depth knowledge and confidence about the procedures to protect children. Staff use these extremely well to keep children safe. For example, they talk to children and parents about internet safety. Staff's skills are highly valued. They are encouraged to make the most of their potential and they relish training opportunities. This contributes to a highly effective and knowledgeable team which understands how to support each child.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are skilled at inspiring and motivating children to make choices about their play and to join in. They create interesting and stimulating activities which build on ideas and projects from the school and skilfully extend these using children's ideas. Staff and children have meaningful discussions that complement children's learning at school. For example, during an exceptionally well-organised and well-resourced craft activity staff seized the opportunity to talk with children about the differences between fruits and vegetables; they discussed what courgettes are, how they grow and how they differ from cucumbers. Staff place great value on the input of parents to ensure consistency for children and are keen to engage them even further in activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children show an extremely strong sense of belonging and well-being. They have an excellent knowledge of the routines of the club and are careful to respect these. For example, children arrive in an orderly manner and confidently book themselves in. They are extremely self-assured. For example, they greet each other warmly and discuss their plans for the evening. Children's confidence rapidly increases as they recognise their strengths and contribute fully to the group. They relish making choices and sharing jokes and experiences, while showing the highest levels of respect for each other. Older children are extremely kind and helpful to younger members. Staff are highly skilled at sensitively overseeing activities, inside and outside, to ensure that children can take supervised risks as they take part in challenging physical activities.
