Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The provider checks on staff's performance extremely well, such as through regular, thorough supervision arrangements. She carefully plans opportunities for them to enhance their expert knowledge and develops their interactions with children to an outstanding level. The provider enthusiastically seeks and eagerly acts on the advice of others, including parents, to help continuously improve provisions for children. For instance, she has readily extended the broad range of activities offered at the club, following suggestions from parents to provide children with an even wider range of highly stimulating experiences, including music and dance lessons. Partnerships with parents are exceedingly strong. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff are highly vigilant and clearly understand their duty to protect children. They confidently know how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children eagerly play and confidently choose their activities in a very welcoming, extremely well-organised environment. They relish creating pictures and making their own props for role-play activities, such as coins for a pirate, carefully using tools to create with excellent control. They articulate their ideas clearly and confidently share them with others, developing excellent social skills as they do. Staff plan diverse, rich, highly effective experiences for all age groups and abilities which highly challenge children. Staff are highly enthusiastic and skilfully interact, encouraging children's imaginations brilliantly. For example, they successfully support high levels of creative thinking during group discussions when children explain what they have found during a treasure hunt. Children keenly express why they think their 'treasure' is valuable and develop excellent communication skills. However, leaders recognise that the organisation of some large-

group activities could be enhanced to increase children's concentration levels even further.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children benefit from eating a variety of nutritious foods and have many opportunities to learn about healthy lifestyles. The setting offers a vast range of opportunities for children to be active, including providing a football club. Children develop excellent physical and teamwork skills. Children are highly independent and behave thoughtfully. They are exceedingly keen to help staff during routines, including at home time, and learn to be responsible. They behave sensibly and develop high levels of self-esteem.
