Staff take this information into consideration when planning activities, to ensure they meet individual children's interests and needs. n Staff form excellent relationships with parents and the school that children attend. For example, they welcome them to take part in activities at the club, and encourage their involvement in the breakfast sessions with the children. n Staff provide an excellent range of stimulating experiences, including a number of physical activities, for children to enjoy. Children have an excellent time at the club.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. All staff complete safeguarding training and demonstrate an excellent understanding of the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff have a first-rate understanding of the possible signs, symptoms and indicators of abuse and neglect. Thorough recruitment procedures, and initial training, help to ensure staff are suitable to carry out their responsibilities. Leaders provide excellent ongoing professional development opportunities for staff to enhance their skills and knowledge continually. Staff deploy themselves highly effectively to ensure children have positive experiences. The manager completes regular supervision of staff as they interact with the children, and provides succinct feedback which helps them to improve their practice continually. This has a positive impact on the service provided for the children. Staff promote continuity of care for children effectively, as they

speak with parents when they arrive and convey key messages from schools.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff are passionate about their work with children. They provide challenging and stimulating opportunities for them to explore that keep them fully engaged. Staff ensure activities are perfectly balanced between outdoor and indoor experiences, and time to relax and play quietly. They support children extremely well to follow instructions and to listen and communicate, while at the same time, developing their physical and personal skills. Children thoroughly enjoy creative activities. They use all of the materials available to them, showing skill and control when making their designs. For example, children learn to make flowers and paint fruit. Staff support children to develop an understanding of their environment, different people and cultures. Staff plan interesting activities to support their mathematical skills extremely well. For example, children reinforce their understanding of size and measurement when baking and cooking.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are extremely independent in the club and are provided with excellent opportunities to take responsibility. They show ever-increasing levels of confidence, and learn to lead and change the direction of their play themselves. This results in a sense of satisfaction and pride for children and staff. Children communicate their individual needs and interests to staff, to ensure that they get the best from the club. They speak extremely positively about the staff and the activities they enjoy at the club. Children thoroughly enjoy playing outdoors, where they access fresh air and enjoy a range of ball games. Staff remind them of the risks and about how to keep themselves safe. Teatime is a highly enjoyable and relaxed occasion where children select their snack from a selection of healthy foods. They happily talk about what they have done at school, as well as events in their home lives. However, opportunities to support new children
