Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The management team uses its extensive knowledge of child development exceptionally well. The managers show a professional, uncompromising approach to providing fun and developing friendships for the children. Together the managers create an inspiring approach to work and play. This helps everyone to learn and develop together. The training staff receive helps them to provide highly exciting, challenging and interesting experiences for children. Staff talk with each other about the activities children do independently. The management team reviews its practice diligently. Managers listen closely to the views of children to help them plan relevant and engaging activities. Staff use two-way radios to give children the feeling of freedom, while at the same time they are able to keep children safe in a public place. Staff are extremely vigilant. Safeguarding is effective. Sometimes the managers miss opportunities for parents to confirm they

understand their policies and procedures.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are exceptionally confident. They understand the role of the playworker well. They have very high expectations for the children. Staff engage children really well in conversations about their interests, thoughts and feelings. For example, they talk to the children about how the cold water feels on a very hot day when they play in the splash pool. Staff provide exemplary support to help children use their imaginations extremely well. For example, the youngest children use the adventure playground to develop games about acting out a fire rescue. Children forge excellent relationships with the staff. Children actively seek out the company of staff. Every member of staff knows three interesting facts about the children in their care. This knowledge helps staff to nurture children's confidence and independence.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The learning environment is exceptional. The managers use the facilities to help all children develop a very strong sense of personal safety. For example, at the start of each week the children are involved in setting the rules for the club. This helps them to understand the boundaries, how to keep themselves safe and how to respect others. Children play energetically in the rich variety of adventure playgrounds. This helps them to test and develop their physical skills as they run, chase and climb. The exceptionally wide variety of activities helps children to independently explore new opportunities, challenge themselves and explore what they really enjoy. As a result, children blossom and develop their independence. Children thoroughly enjoy the time they have at the club to relax, laugh and play.
