Staff make good use of the information gathered to support children's interests and engagement.  Children's excellent behaviour and interactions with staff show that they feel safe and secure at the club.

They are confident in their knowledge of how to identify and report concerns relating to children's welfare. Leaders implement robust procedures to assess and monitor the suitability of staff working at the club. Parents provide positive feedback about the club and its staff. They feel that the club is very well run and that their children really enjoy attending. Leaders also seek feedback from children, both verbally and using questionnaires.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff get to know children well and plan a range of interesting activities to support their enjoyment. Overall, they adapt the activities provided to follow children's emerging interests. Staff understand how to successfully engage and interact with young children. Children clearly enjoy attending the club and seek staff out to join in with their games. For example, staff help to engage a group of children in a game of football, ensuring that all children who want to join in can play. Children explore and investigate as they use their hands and tools to explore bubbles and soapy water. They play imaginatively in the outdoor area and younger children feel confident enough to design and lead their own games. Staff provide opportunities for children to explore themes and activities that they have been learning about in school. Staff also provide support for children to develop their existing skills, such as writing or reading. Staff use information from children, parents and

the local school to identify how best they can support children and provide enjoyable activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are free to choose from a wide range of high-quality resources and follow their own interests. They remain engaged and highly motivated throughout the session. Children have excellent relationships with staff. Staff help to empower children when they experience disagreements, to discuss their feelings and agree on a resolution. Young children benefit from having such positive role models in the enthusiastic and caring staff team. Children enjoy a range of extremely healthy and nutritionally balanced snacks. They delight in helping to prepare these themselves and tasting a range of interesting fruit and vegetables. Children show an excellent understanding of how to keep themselves safe. They follow hygiene routines and demonstrate a thorough understanding of why it is important to follow such routines. Children are confident and have excellent social skills. Young children happily explain to visitors what they are doing and what they like best

about the club. Young children also relate exceptionally well to older children who are excellent role models. Children's behaviour is exceptional.
