This provision is outstanding

 Staff strongly focus on children's interests and achievements including how to strengthen their future learning skills. They provide an impressive range of indoor and outdoor play opportunities for all children to enjoy and explore.  All children are extremely happy, settled and content. Relationships between children and staff are strong. The carefully managed key-person system enables the youngest children to quickly form secure attachments and have a very positive start to their time at the club.  The manager works exceptionally well with staff to provide high-quality services to children. For example, she joins in and oversees all aspects to encourage consistency and the smooth day-to-day running of the club.  The manager and staff have formed extremely positive relationships with the schools that children attend. The club staff and school staff share children's development information. This helps them to plan precisely and accurately for what children need to

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a comprehensive understanding of what they need to do if they have any concerns about children's safety and welfare. They have all attended child protection training and know who to report concerns to should they need to. Staff implement rigorous procedures and risk assessments very efficiently to ensure children receive the best possible care and are kept safe. They involve children in carrying out their own risk assessments. This helps children understand how to manage their own and their friends' safety. The aspirational management team enables staff to maintain and build significantly on their skills with a very close focus on training and professional development. They implement an effective recruitment process, thorough inductions, regular in-depth staff supervisions and monitoring of practice to ensure the high-quality interactions that children receive. The strong partnership with parents is reflected in

parents' positive and complimentary feedback about the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff identify individual children's starting points and use this information exceptionally well to plan an excellent choice of activities to support children's all-round development. Children enthusiastically choose where to play or whether to take part in planned activities. They develop an excellent understanding of the world. For example, they play with Chinese food and artefacts in the home corner. At the craft table they use reference books and pictures to look at flags from different countries. This leads them to paint their own flags and they have conversations about whether they have been to places, such as Australia. Children excitedly engage in imaginative play, such as using play figures and natural resources that link with a storybook. They are extremely good at playing cooperatively with other children, such as when using the computer game. They take turns and give friendly comments to children who are using it.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide a very calm, secure and safe environment for children. They are good role models, calm and enthusiastic and provide children with plenty of support and encouragement. Relationships between staff and children are excellent and children's positive behaviour is promoted very well. Children understand the clear boundaries and learn how to regulate their own behaviour. The development of children's confidence and self-esteem is given high priority. For example, all children sign themselves into and out of the club, using the digital clock to record the time. They help with the preparation of meals, serve themselves and wash and return their cutlery and dishes to the trolley when they have finished. Children's good health is significantly enhanced. They have healthy choices at mealtimes and choose when they want to play outside. They run round the outdoor space and enjoy playing games, such as parachute. Here they listen carefully to

staff and follow their instructions extremely well.
