This provision is outstanding

 Partnership working is a real strength of the club. Parents are extremely pleased with the support they receive from the caring, friendly staff.  Staff are superb role models. They value each child highly and instinctively promote equality at all times. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They help each other and value each other's differences and ideas.  Highly experienced staff provide children with plenty of choice. For example, those children who want to sit quietly and relax have the space to do so, while others who want to be more physically active can run around outdoors.  Extremely strong leadership inspires the dedicated staff team to provide enjoyable, high-quality activities for the children. Through sharing information with the host school regularly, staff plan activities which complement children's learning.  Children are extremely articulate and confident during their play and when interacting

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider ensures policies and procedures are meticulously updated and any changes are shared with staff promptly.

Supervision meetings provide further opportunities for staff to discuss their roles and professional development. The provider consults with children regarding activities they enjoy. There is an action plan in place to enrich the outdoor area and the provider recognises the need to evaluate the impact of this on children's play.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. They are confident and eager to participate in the activities provided. Staff successfully adapt activities to meet the needs of the wide age range of children who attend. Children are fully engaged when creating dough art. They imaginatively create animals and proudly show staff what they have made. Staff skilfully encourage children to be creative and use a variety of resources to decorate their models. Children help to pack a suitcase for teddy during their imaginative play and talk to staff about the weather in different countries. They understand that hot weather and cold weather requires different clothing. Children explore with a tape measure, using mathematical language, such as addition and subtraction, with support from their key person. The key-person system is very robust. Staff gather information at induction about the child's interests and development. This ensures that interesting
