The manager ensures staff undertake regular training to keep their expert knowledge and skills up to date. There are robust systems for the recruitment, induction and ongoing suitability checks of staff. Information is gathered from the host school for younger children to complement their learning while they are at the club. The manager works extremely closely with staff to ensure practice and the activities provided are of a consistently excellent standard. High regard is given to keeping children safe.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club, and they are exceptionally happy and settled. They display very high levels of independence and a real sense of belonging. For instance, children jump at the chance to be mathematics monitor and take pride in adding and dividing to work out the arrangements in the snack area. Children have a superb time developing their physical skills. For example, older children thoroughly enjoy crocheting, while younger children learn how to finger knit. Staff are excellent role models and support children exceptionally well, allowing them to solve problems and use their imaginations. For example, children work together in harmony as they create a den using blankets. They carefully consider how heavy the bricks will need to be to secure the blankets. This supports their mathematical development and critical-thinking skills. Children develop excellent social skills. They are extremely motivated and confident to

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children clearly love attending the club. They settle quickly and know the familiar routines that help to make them feel comfortable and safe. They have rich opportunities to extend their play outdoors, where staff encourage them to participate in enjoyable physical activities, such as playing swing ball. Children learn about the differences and similarities of people in their community and the wider world. For instance, they enjoy a barbeque when learning about Australia. Children are responsible for tasks, such as signing the register, making their own snack and pouring their own drinks. Children know to eat healthily and follow excellent hygiene routines, such as handwashing before food. Staff teach children to stay safe superbly. For example, children enthusiastically take turns to be safety monitors and check that all areas are safe at the start of the day.
