Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff have children's safety and well-being at the heart of everything they do. They are highly proactive in protecting children from harm and have a thorough understanding of what to do should they have concerns about a child's welfare. For example, they methodically implement a range of records and documents that help support their practice. The manager ensures robust deployment of staff to ensure children are kept safe and secure. Managers and staff set high standards within all areas of their practice. They continually review and reflect on the quality of the provision.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff expertly complement and fully support children's learning at school. They use what they know from information gathered from parents and class teachers to inform the planning of activities. Staff share information about children's progress with parents. Staff plan and organise a rich and varied range of activities and experiences. For example, children are engrossed as they make pretend telescopes and use these to discover imaginary constellations. Staff ignite their curiosity further providing torches to create different sources of light. Children thoroughly enjoy learning about what it is like for a child to attend a school in a different country. Staff help to extend their interest by introducing traditional games played by children in other European countries.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children thrive in this club because staff are kind, caring and nurturing. Staff use positive reward systems and frequent praise and encouragement. As a result, children gain high levels of confidence and self-esteem. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They are respectful, kind and polite to each other. The club is fully inclusive and staff successfully promote equality. Children learn to show great empathy towards others. A 'buddy' system operates and children demonstrate great pride when chosen for this role. Older children readily take younger children 'under their wing' and happily show them round when they are new to the club. Children are extremely independent. They happily take responsibility for their own belongings, enjoy carrying out small tasks and eagerly choose what they want to do on arrival at the club. Staff promote healthy living guidance in all they do. They offer children a variety of nutritious foods and encourage them to make
