Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. Staff receive regular child protection training which is refreshed and monitored extremely well by leaders. They confidently demonstrate an excellent understanding of the club's policies and procedures, and what to do if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The club has highly successful strategies in place for involving parents. For example, staff share their observations of children's play and learning with parents. This helps to promote superb partnerships with parents. Children benefit from a professional team who fully understands how to support them in developing new skills. Staff have a range of expertise which has a positive effect on the quality of learning and the overall provision. Leaders make excellent use of staff supervision, inset days and team meetings to ensure high-quality experiences for all children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide an excellent range of well-planned activities. Staff know the children very well and ensure that their individual interests are consistently catered for. Staff interact with children exceptionally well. However, very occasionally, they miss opportunities in some daily routines to incorporate learning and minimise the time children have to wait. Staff know when to allow children to take the lead and when to join in with their play, to challenge them and extend their learning. Children enjoy being creative and imaginative as they make 'ice creams' with sand. Children are encouraged to count and problem solve when playing group games. They are highly involved in the planning of activities and initiate many experiences themselves through skilled guidance from staff. Staff are calm, nurturing and patient and encourage children to complete tasks by themselves. This helps children persevere in challenging tasks very well. Children are highly

motivated by activities. They spend very long periods of time deeply engaged in card games. Children and staff engage in rich conversations which enhance children's language skills greatly.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children have a very clear sense of belonging at the club. Staff actively encourage children to be extremely independent and make decisions about the activities that they want to take part in. Children enjoy a wealth of opportunities to learn outdoors in a range of highly stimulating outdoor play areas. For example, they play group football games and older children explain the rules to younger friends. Children take excellent ownership of the outdoors and have been highly involved in the development of it. This makes playing outdoors extremely motivating for them. For example, they have created their own sensory fairy garden which they are proud of and take great pride in maintaining. The club is calm and the children's behaviour is excellent. Children fully understand the club rules as staff are consistently excellent role models, praising their efforts and achievements. Children display an excellent understanding of themselves and

show deep respect and interest in people and cultures that have different ways of life to their own. This is preparing them well for their future in society.
