p.1

This provision is good

 Managers and staff prioritise children's welfare highly. Staff are strongly committed to ensuring children are extremely settled, happy and confident at the club. Children have plenty of fun and feel secure in the exceptionally warm, welcoming and supportive environment.  Children are highly respectful and show great kindness and consideration for each other. For example, older children play alongside younger children and support them positively in their activities and routines. All children's behaviour is exemplary.  Experienced managers show a commitment to continuous improvement. They take into account the views of staff, parents, other professionals and children to help to inform any changes and develop the club further.  Staff know children very well. They plan activities and experiences that complement and extend the learning children experience in nursery and school effectively.  Parents are very happy with the service provided and the quality of communication

between themselves and all staff. They comment that their children are reluctant to leave the club at the end of the session.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff understand their roles and responsibilities to help to protect children from harm. They know what to do should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The manager implements thorough recruitment and vetting procedures to help to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff complete safeguarding and paediatric first-aid training and use this knowledge to support children's welfare. Managers ensure that there is a good exchange of meaningful information between the nursery, school, parents and club to support children extremely well. This helps to provide a consistently strong approach to meeting children's care, learning and development needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff join in with children's games enthusiastically, indoors and outdoors and extend their learning well. Children have many opportunities to be creative and use their imaginations, such as when they choose from a range of equipment to shape dough to make models of aliens. They show great enjoyment as they mix ingredients together to form 'moon sand' and explore and investigate changes to the everyday materials. Children practise their early literacy skills. They read, with help, simple instructions for completing an activity. Staff tell familiar stories to children to help them to relax, in the comfortable book corner. Children are regularly involved in planning activities for the club. Staff use informal discussion times with children, such as after snack time to gather their feedback on activities and to identify ideas for future sessions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide children with a wealth of praise and encouragement. They are excellent role models. Children show high levels of self-esteem and a very strong sense of belonging at the club. They demonstrate extremely good manners. Robust arrangements for settling new children help them to thrive, from the start, in the nurturing environment. Staff listen very carefully to children and respond promptly to their views. For example, when children vote for their choice of outings, staff take action swiftly to make sure these are planned to meet their needs and interests. Younger children share any concerns and worries with older children, who take responsibility for becoming their 'buddy'. Children speak exceptionally proudly about their involvement in the club council which is led by children themselves. They devise club rules to help to keep themselves and others safe and apply these independently. Staff give children excellent messages about the importance of a

healthy lifestyle. Children are involved in selecting menus that include choices from each food group, so that snacks are nutritious and well balanced.
