This provision is outstanding

 The manager is extremely passionate about providing excellent experiences for all children. She is deeply committed to ensuring that all staff receive training to support children, including those with more complex needs. To support this, she has arranged for other professionals to train staff to meet children's communication needs and manage any challenging behaviour more effectively.  The manager and staff provide excellent support to children in a very caring and stimulating environment. Staff make extensive use of opportunities to extend children's thinking very well. They ask meaningful questions and give children plenty of time to respond, so children can explain where they have been on holiday and what they enjoyed doing there, for example.  Staff always respond to children very promptly, and with patience and consideration. Children are extremely confident in knowing that staff will swiftly meet their needs

sensitively and enthusiastically.  Children are extremely comfortable and relaxed. They are very polite and kind to others. For instance, older children readily take account of the needs of younger children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The manager is extremely committed to supporting the professional development of all staff. She observes staff's practice frequently to highlight individual strengths and areas for development, and discusses these with staff. This supports staff to identify their own training needs, such as manual handling training. Ratios are high because the manager feels that this best supports a safe and comfortable environment for children. This enables staff to work individually with a child if this is best for the child. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have an excellent knowledge of the signs that would alert them about concerns for a child and the actions they should take. The manager is extremely dedicated to ensuring that all staff have an extensive understanding of wider safeguarding issues.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff take great care to provide a very wide range of highly interesting activities, such as sports coaching and a chess club. Children go on exploration walks in the local area each week. These give them excellent opportunities to learn about the word around them. Staff very skilfully know that some children need more support. They make excellent provision to meet the needs of individual children. For example, they provide a quiet space for children to use favourite activities, such as musical instruments, to help them settle into the club. The manager and staff complete in-depth evaluations each day. They discuss these with the children and work with them to plan future activities. For instance, children have asked for trips to 'interesting places' during the summer. There are highly effective systems to enable the manager to monitor the progress of all children. She swiftly identifies any concerns and discusses support strategies with parents and with other

professionals to ensure they meet children's needs consistently.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff ensure that children have excellent opportunities to develop independence skills. For instance, they very confidently take turns to complete the snack register by asking others what they would like for snack and recording their answers. Staff believe that children's opinions are extremely important and so they make plenty of time to listen to children. They provide a suggestions box, which children frequently use. However, there are few opportunities for children to make changes to the resources provided during the session. Partnership with parents is highly effective. The manager and staff are very proactive in using a range of ways to share information with parents. For example, they make plenty of time to speak with parents daily to share concerns and achievements. Consequently, parents are very well informed and quickly able to share in their children's day. Staff work extremely closely with other professionals involved in children's care. For instance, they

speak with children's teachers daily to know what support each child will need that day.
