Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are exceptionally well trained in all areas of safeguarding and promoting children's well-being. For example, quizzes and regular training ensure that staff continually update their knowledge of what could pose a risk to children. They deploy themselves extremely well and diligently risk assess play areas so children remain safe at all times. Staff attend an array of high-quality training programmes that have a positive impact on outcomes for children. The increased knowledge from training significantly boosts staff's confidence, which then has a very positive impact on their interaction and involvement with the children. Robust recruitment processes ensure staff's initial and ongoing suitability to work with children. The team is considering ways to strengthen children's understanding of positive gender role models in their community.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children enjoy their time at this lively and vibrant club. They thrive on the freedom to lead their own play. They quickly immerse themselves in all the activities and access resources in the club with enthusiasm. Passionate and friendly staff make a significant contribution to children's experience and enjoyment of the club. They are highly skilled, creative and constantly explore new ways to improve children's play. In particular, they promote the views of the children very successfully, such as asking children to vote as a group on which activities they would like to access next. Children respond with excitement as they vote for time in the ICT suite, before group games outside.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thrive emotionally at the club and form exceptionally warm and secure relationships with the staff. Older children support younger ones and friendships flourish in this harmonious atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. Their behaviour is exemplary and they are unfailingly friendly and polite. Leaders use their qualifications as sports coaches to provide a wide range of challenging activities that very successfully supports children's physical development. Children take part in energetic outdoor games and benefit from plenty of exercise and fresh air. For example, children have great fun aiming water cannons at targets on a hot day. Equally, children enjoy opportunities to rest, such as on comfy beanbags where they curl up with a favourite book which they read with their friends. Children enjoy an extremely varied snack menu created to work in conjunction with the school and its healthy eating guidelines. Staff support children to develop an

excellent awareness of keeping themselves safe, such as through safe use of the internet. Children share their ideas for improvements through their 'Thoughts tree'.
