Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff complete extremely comprehensive observations on children to identify their skills and interests. They find out school themes and plan a range of inspiring activities which motivates children to become involved. Staff provide a delightful activity where children have opportunities to make predictions about how fast water will travel through a funnel. Following an interest in space, staff offer a variety of craft materials and children make models. This contributes immensely towards their creativity and imagination. Young boys delight in making jet packs. They capably attach bottles to boxes and use string for the handles. Children develop excellent mathematical skills. Staff expertly use children's ball games to encourage counting. Children enthusiastically invite staff to join in with a role- play game at the vets. They confidently recognise numbers as they add and subtract role- play money and use stamps to record the date on receipts. Children display very strong

literacy skills. They form recognisable letters as staff skilfully encourage them to record instructions about how to care for the pets. This helps to support their writing in school.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's emotional well-being is superbly promoted. Staff know each child individually and play with them with great enthusiasm and care. Younger children are collected from their classrooms and older children are highly confident. They independently make their way to the club after school. Children's physical health is given the utmost priority. Snack times are a highly social occasion where staff teach children the importance of making healthy food choices. Even younger children independently help themselves to a splendid range of healthy foods and drinks. Children eagerly explore the superb outdoor environment and delight in active, energetic play. They develop an excellent sense of empathy and consideration for others. For example, children participate in a number of fundraising activities throughout the year. Children are extremely proud of their community. They are full of pride as they talk about their recent participation in the local
