Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have an expert understanding of child protection issues. They are extremely clear about the procedures to follow in the event of a concern about the welfare of a child. Robust safety procedures and the highly efficient deployment of staff help to ensure children are kept safe and secure. There are rigorous recruitment and vetting procedures in place to check the suitability of staff working with the children. Staff hold relevant qualifications and attend ongoing training to further enhance their very good knowledge and skills. Strong performance management, supervision and staff meetings underpin the strong practice in the club. Rigorous action planning is in place to monitor the quality of the provision and support improvement. The manager has already considered ways to build on the already excellent links with the host school to strengthen the partnership and to benefit children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff listen to children with genuine interest and make sure that all children are fully involved in planning activities, sharing their ideas and interests. Staff's highly skilled interaction with the children has a considerable impact on children's engagement, enjoyment and achievement. Key skills are promoted extremely successfully through play. Children build on their skills in literacy through writing, reading and listening to stories. They excel as they express their ideas creatively through their drawings, artwork and role play activities. Children recall past activities, for example, they confidently talk about the lifecycle of a butterfly. They show a great interest in being outdoors and learn how to plant seeds and grow tomatoes and flowers.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

This is an excellent club that reflects a highly inclusive ethos where all children are valued and seen as unique individuals. The environment is well organised and provides delightful play opportunities for all children. Children show a strong sense of belonging and emotional well-being. They are very confident communicators who talk to visitors about what they enjoy doing at the club. Practitioners expertly teach children to keep themselves safe and develop positive relationships with others. Children are self-assured and explain the role of their key carer and how they are there to look after them. Children show brilliant independence and self-care skills. They enjoy a very nutritious and healthy teatime snack. Excellent links with the school ensure children make a seamless and well supported move from their class room into the club. Children have excellent opportunities to play outside and benefit from the support of staff who have a wide range of skills in
