This provision is outstanding

 Partnerships with parents and the host primary school are outstanding. Staff demonstrate a superb understanding of how to complement children's experiences at home and in school. This helps them to plan activities that build effectively on children's changing interests.  Staff put children's emotional well-being at the heart of everything they do. They are superb role models who, through the key-person system, have developed extremely strong bonds with the children. They treat them with the utmost dignity and respect. This helps children to feel valued and happy. Children delight in attending the club.  Children's behaviour is impeccable. They demonstrate very positive values and attitudes, treating each other with respect, kindness and compassion. For example, when younger children become upset because they do not want to leave the club at home time, older children offer a warm embrace and words of reassurance.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a superb understanding of their roles and responsibilities in helping to keep children safe. There is a culture of vigilance within the club. Staff have accessed extensive training in this area and have a thorough understanding of how to keep children safe. The manager implements highly robust recruitment procedures and all staff are fully vetted before they begin working with children. She carries out ongoing suitability checks for staff and meets regularly with them to discuss aspects of the club's work. She reviews their performance and identifies ongoing professional development opportunities well. This helps to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. Staff consistently assess risks and complete regular headcounts, so all children remain supervised and arrive safely at the club base.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children independently access a wonderful range of exciting activities and resources. Staff talk to children and observe their play closely. They plan activities that build effectively on children's changing interests. Children are highly motivated and enthusiastic. Qualified staff support children's learning extremely well using a wide range of effective techniques. For example, when introducing a new game, staff provide clear and detailed introductions to explain the rules, they provide a commentary throughout to help children understand what is happening and ask a range of open-ended questions to help to develop their deep-thinking skills. Children's mathematical skills are supported very well. For example, children learn to recognise written numerals as they play bingo with staff. Staff help to further extend children's communication skills during play. One of the ways they do this is by encouraging children to collaborate with each other and agree on a set of rules for

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff get to know children exceptionally well from the very start and children settle at the club with ease. Staff obtain a wealth of information from parents and use what they know about children's preferences to motivate and engage them. Children enter the club brimming with self-confidence and form incredibly close bonds with staff and their peers. All children demonstrate an extremely positive attitude to playing outside and being active. They are excited and enthused by playful, enthusiastic staff who join in with their games and value their input. For example, staff listen to children's ideas about what equipment to take outside and what part of the playground to visit. Children are prompted to consider risks in the environment, which helps them to develop an excellent understanding of how to keep themselves safe. Children join staff in lively discussions during daily routines about the importance of healthy eating and hygiene practices. They follow appropriate hygiene
