This provision is outstanding

 The manager is a very positive role model and supports the staff team exceptionally well.

Procedures for checking children's attendance are implemented rigorously and this helps to keep children safe. Staff make sure that they share information about children with parents.

They settle well to activities and play resources that support their interests and complement their ongoing learning.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff team regularly update their knowledge and skills to keep children safe from harm. They confidently explain the very robust procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare or if an allegation has been made against them. Managers follow highly effective systems for safer recruitment, staff induction, supervision and appraisals. They continually check staff's ongoing suitability. Managers have ensured all staff have attended child protection training, including issues in line with the 'Prevent' duty guidance. The managers and staff meet regularly to review their practice and identify ways for further improvements. For example, the manager is looking to enhance the partnership with the school to support children's ongoing learning and development. Parents comment that the setting is flexible to their needs and provides an enjoyable and exciting time for their children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff work extremely well together as a team. The experienced and qualified staff get to know the children and families well. For example, the younger children are allocated a key person to help them settle and to support them within the setting. Staff gain accurate information from parents to gain a good understanding of children's needs and interests. They very skilfully observe children's achievements to further support their progress. Children enjoy creative activities immensely. For example they are engrossed in artwork and making Christmas cards. Staff motivate children's curiosity extremely well. For example, they ask questions, explore ideas and give children plenty of time to think and answer. Children have opportunities to complete homework in a space that is calm. Staff are close by should they need any help. Children are excellent communicators and they confidently make their needs known.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are very caring and highly effective in helping children feel emotionally secure at the club. Young children settle in quickly and soon gain the confidence to make new friends in older age groups. Older children are exceptionally kind to the youngest children and provide excellent role models for them. Staff provide children with nutritious food and drink which meet their individual requirements. Children understand the importance of following good hygiene routines. For example, they wash their hands before eating. Children thoroughly enjoy the sporting activities and games on offer. They run and play ball games to help increase their strength, balance and coordination skills. They play together exceptionally well. For example, during team games, children excitedly play dodgeball and staff eagerly join in. The manager deploys staff so that indoor and outdoor spaces are well supervised. Staff regularly check and count the children.
