Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have an excellent awareness of the potential signs of harm and neglect. They fully understand the procedures for raising a concern about a child in their care to keep them safe. Superb security measures ensure children play in a safe and secure environment. Staff establish safe routines for the collection of children from school. Managers and staff follow excellent procedures to reflect and evaluate the service they provide. This leads to clear identification of areas to develop even further, such as enhancing the already excellent partnerships with parents through sharing more information about the activities their children enjoy. Managers use highly effective recruitment and induction procedures to ensure all staff are and remain suitable to care for children. Successful monitoring of staffs' performance enables managers and staff to identify their own professional development needs to enhance

their knowledge and skills even further. Staff remain fully aware, through effective partnership with parents, of any aspects of learning or medical information that may impact on a child.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff meet as a team to plan an excellent range of activities for children. Partnership working is superb. Staff share information from school and club with parents each day. Staff nurture children's creativity and children enjoy using their imagination. For example, children work in partnership to create their own shop. They use various materials, scissors and paper to make shop signs, people and furniture. Children narrate their play, giving the characters they create clear roles in the shop. They show high levels of concentration and engagement. Children invite their peers to play board games and explain the rules carefully, if needed, to ensure the smooth running of the game. Children negotiate extremely well to use the electronic equipment, so all children have an opportunity to play different games and develop problem solving strategies. Staff encourage the younger children to build on their skills. They support children's language

and communication skills excellently and encourage children to share their ideas and experiences in school during the day.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's dietary needs, including allergies and preferences, are extremely well-known and met effectively by staff. All staff hold paediatric first-aid qualifications and are fully aware of how to deal with emergency medical situations and accidents. Children have a superb awareness of foods that have a positive impact on their bodies and their teeth. Displays reflect the activities that have supported their learning. Staff are knowledgeable of the procedures to follow to ensure children remain safe. Children relish being active. They eagerly explain the rules for playing games, such as 'golden boat' and other ball games. Hygiene routines are strong and children learn the importance of washing their hands to remove germs, especially before snack time and after outdoor play. The key- person system is very effective and contributes to excellent partnerships with parents. Staff have high expectations regarding behaviour. They are fair, kind and consistent and

support children's self-confidence and esteem extremely well.
