Staff's interactions are excellent and they are highly skilled at joining in with children's play to provide optimum challenge and enthuse children and inspire their learning. Children are highly engaged in a range of activities. As they play in the role play areas they write letters to one another inviting them to events they are organising, such as a tea party and a show. Children confidently write words and spell them out with support from staff. Staff skilfully question children to develop their thinking and ideas and they encourage children to make their own decisions. Children are articulate and developing excellent communication skills.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children benefit from outstanding levels of care and staff are in tune with every child's needs. Children's and parents' comments are overwhelmingly positive. They talk about how great the staff are and the extensive activities available. Staff encourage children to share any achievements. This helps them to develop confidence and a positive sense of themselves. The children's council is involved in updating the behaviour policy, this enables the children to really think about how they show cooperation and respect for others. Staff are exemplary role models and this is evident in the children's excellent behaviour. They are well mannered and polite, which is a key characteristic of the club. Children make excellent use of the outdoor spaces. They take part in an extensive range of ball games and enjoy making marks with many different media and materials. Staff inspire children to take part in team games. Children confidently take part and show their
