This provision is outstanding

 Staff use their first-class partnership with the school staff to creatively plan experiences that complement what children can do and reflect their individual interests. Children enjoy a wide variety of exciting, quality play resources and activities. They play a big part in making individual choices and planning activities.  Teatime is expertly managed by the staff. For example, they ensure children have time to sit and socialise with friends, all of different ages, before tucking into a healthy hot or cold meal. Many children enjoy second helpings and their behaviour is impeccable.  Safeguarding children is at the heart of everything the staff do. All staff complete rigorous training, are knowledgeable about how to protect children and keep them safe. Children enthusiastically take part in risk assessments during play.  Managers have excellent methods to induct, support and celebrate staff performance to

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Managers have high aspirations for children's safety, well-being and play, which are reflected in day-to-day routines. They ensure that staff have an excellent understanding of the requirements of their role. Managers are inspirational and have an uncompromising ambition to continually improve, making superb use of ongoing self-evaluation. For example, after feedback from parent questionnaires, children's cooking now includes recipes with less sugar content. Safeguarding is effective. All staff embrace the training offered. For example, they learnt about protecting children from extreme views. All staff know the child protection procedures well. Children's health and safety is central to everything staff do and they seize opportunities that arise to teach children how to keep themselves and others safe. For example, they carefully monitor the iron when it is used by staff to secure beads during a creative activity.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The staff effectively tune in to each child's personality and needs. They offer high-quality, tailored support prompted by the children. Managers and staff have an expert knowledge and understanding of playwork; they offer exciting and challenging play activities for children. Children have huge fun, laughing with friends while playing different games. For example, they run about excitedly outdoors in the dark with torches, exploring and investigating, looking and talking about the images they see lit up. Children show great enjoyment and motivation, and talk confidently with one another and enthusiastically to visitors. They are creative and very much enjoy making their own structures, such as an igloo, out of recyclable materials using a glue gun. These popular play structures are shared with the school to use in class.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The staff completely understand the vital role they play in delivering high-quality care. Children show great respect for the staff who provide excellent examples for children in the way to deal with others courteously. Children's confidence in social situations is very high and they relish the opportunities to build new friendships, such as during teatime. They talk with great confidence and form very strong relationships with the staff. The excellent information gathering from the school and parents means that each child's key person quickly gets to know them from the very start. Overall, staff make tremendous use of the outdoor space available, including an enclosed woodland area, to provide exciting and enjoyable play experiences for children. However, they have not explored ways to make all popular play spaces available when the weather is not good.
