Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff prioritise children's safety and know how to respond appropriately to any concerns about their welfare. Robust recruitment procedures are in place and a comprehensive induction process results in a dynamic staff team. The manager and staff attend network meetings to share practice and attend regular training to extend their knowledge. The staff team is long standing. The highly skilled manager sets challenging and attainable targets to sustain the high standards in the setting. She mentors her staff very well and observes their practice to provide very effective feedback and develop their first-rate interactions even further. The manager has identified that this is an area to continue developing and embed even further. Staff are well qualified and experienced, and share the same vision and ethos for the club. All children's and parents' views are actively sought as part of evaluating the provision.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Partnership working is thoroughly embedded. Staff collectively place children's needs at the heart of their practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children display extremely high levels of concentration. Older children are very creative and do self-portraits of each other. They pay particular attention to doing shading on their pictures. Children independently manage their time on the computer. They understand that there is a set period for their turn as they use simple technology. Children skilfully manipulate dough as they make different objects. Staff carefully plan for the children in partnership with parents and the host school, so that the support provided for children's care and play complements what is provided elsewhere. Staff are extremely efficient at sharing information between home, school and the club. Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported exceptionally well. All children can choose from weekly classes in gardening, French, forest school and film. The environment is highly stimulating and engages children to have a thirst for

exploration. Children are very excited about their trip to the Wildlife Park and talk about all the items they are going to pack in their bags to take.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thrive in this inclusive setting. They actively participate in the daily news time. Children listen attentively to each other, engage in discussions and show immense pride in each other's achievements, for example, the t-shirts they designed. Staff consistently make learning enjoyable and, as a result, children are enthusiastic and motivated learners. Children use good hygiene practices and independently access a cold water fountain for regular drinks. Staff provide an excellent range of nutritious meals for children to choose from. This supports children's individual preferences extremely well. Staff make mealtimes very social occasions as they sit with children and take time to talk with them about their day. Children enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise. They take part in a range of activities outdoors. For example, they run around energetically on the school field and make excellent use of a range of equipment to support their lively team
