This provision is outstanding

n The inspiring manager uses extensive and superior internal and external resources and tools to reflect on practice, keep abreast of changes and identify future plans. She does this in close consultation with the committee and staff. Parents are actively involved, for example, through questionnaires which lead to enhancements, such as to the outdoor provision. n Staff are excellent role models. Children's behaviour is exemplary and staff use first- class strategies to help children to feel respected and valued. Children develop superb friendships and have ample opportunities to learn about differences. n Staff ensure seamless transitions for children. They make remarkable use of information from parents, children's Reception teacher and their own observations. Staff keep insightful records of learning, which parents and the children's Reception teacher add to during regular meetings. This helps staff to complement children's care,

achievements and progress to the highest level. n Staff complement the early years foundation stage superbly, and they provide a wealth of rich, challenging and exciting activities. They reinforce the skills children require for successful learning in primary school and beyond. Children are engrossed in self- chosen activities and show excellent independence, collaboration and communication. n Staff undertake superb consultation with children, whose views and ideas are central to the provision. This helps children to develop an excellent sense of belonging and take responsibility for how the club is run. For example, children contribute to staff's planning, complete questionnaires and discuss resources they would like. n Staff give high priority to children's safety and their physical well-being. They use highly engaging ways to help children to learn about healthy lifestyles and to recognise and manage risks.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The manager continually reviews the meticulous risk assessments, for instance during half-termly staff meetings and committee meetings. Staff create a safe environment and enhance safety procedures, for instance through the use of walkie-talkies. The manager uses staff meetings as an excellent opportunity for sharing information. She cascades child protection information and training and refreshes, consolidates and strengthens staff's already strong knowledge of a whole host of subjects. She also delivers further in-house training. Parents receive a wide range of safeguarding information, for instance through displays and newsletters. They also receive parent packs, such as those linked to keeping children safe on the internet. Staff continually reflect on safety practices with the children. For example, prior to children using torches outside in the dark, staff explain the club rules and children put on

fluorescent tabards. Children also complete their own risk assessments, for example via the 'What would be dangerous?' document. They also complete worksheets based on different safety themes, such as road safety. The manager undertakes rigorous induction and mentoring of staff. She has introduced and embedded excellent processes for the performance management and continued professional development of staff. She is now considering how to develop peer observations even further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff's impressive qualifications, experience and in-depth knowledge contribute successfully to the high-quality provision and their skilful and supportive interactions. Staff meticulously link their impressive and comprehensive planning to school topics, children's interests and any specific targets or goals for individual children. These are identified by staff and the children's Reception teacher, and are discussed during regular meetings. Staff inform parents about, and involve them in, the life of the club, for example through regular newsletters, photograph booklets and the noticeboard. Parents contribute resources for activities, such as plastic bottles for their children to collect insects in to create a bug hotel. Children are eager to join in with activities. They confidently express their own ideas, adding their own art and craft creations to the interactive winter wall display, for instance. They show great focus during a painting

activity, where staff highlight different shades of colours, such as lime green. Relationships between children and staff are excellent.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff create a very relaxed and friendly environment and know children extremely well. Parents share important information with staff about their children and attend a new starter evening before children settle. Staff plan varied healthy meals, reflected in the displayed menu. Children bring in healthy eating recipes from home and they sample a wide range of food from around the world. They do this as part of the week-long celebrations around different festivals, cultures and countries. Staff celebrate children's achievements that take place outside of the setting. For example, they display 'Wow' certificates on the 'Wall of wonder'. Children help to devise the club rules and staff display posters depicting positive behaviours, including those the children have made.
