Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The provider is extremely committed to ensuring that staff show a positive attitude and commitment to working with children. Robust recruitment procedures ensure staff are suitable to work with children and remain so. Comprehensive inductions, supervisory meetings, daily reflective practice and opportunities for staff to develop their professional development contribute to the very strong practice of the staff team. For example, at recent training, staff looked at making greater use of questioning to build on children's specific needs. This has had a positive impact on the children's behaviour and the quality of staff interactions with children. Staff are exploring further ways to develop younger children's independence at snacks times. Safeguarding is effective. All staff complete child protection training to ensure their knowledge remains current. Their knowledge is constantly tested by the provider through safeguarding questions and audits. Children's

safety is a priority. Thorough and effective risk assessments are completed on all aspects of the club. School collection times are effectively managed; children wear high-visibility jackets, listen extremely well to instruction and staff remain vigilant to help keep them safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children are very warmly welcomed into the club by the friendly manager and staff. The manager and staff confidently lead group activities. Staff provide children with an abundance of creative media to support skills they use at school. For example, young children imaginatively explore a variety of hand-held puppets. They confidently use tools, such as scissors, pens and glue and write stories in hand-made books. This positively supports their communication and literacy skills. Staff place an exceptional focus on developing a culture of mutual respect. Meaningful conversations take place on similarities and differences. For example, as children explore Thanks giving and Mawlid al Nabi. These types of activities engage and motivate children to share home life experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The key-person system is well embedded. Young children show pleasure in seeking out their key person and invite them to join in their imaginary play. Children form extremely positive relationships with staff and confidently ask for help or support when needed. Older children show exceptional empathy towards younger children. For example, older children support younger children by showing them where to wash their hands before eating. Staff provide lots of opportunities for children to be active to promote their good health. For example, girls and boys enthusiastically take part in ball games in the gymnasium. Exciting learning opportunities are superbly used. Children participate in outings to the local common. They enjoy scavenger hunts, using clips boards to record their findings. They engage in conversations with park rangers on wildlife, such as butterfly farms and the importance of preserving open spaces. This develops their

knowledge and skills in conservation and care of the environment.
