n The well-qualified managers are wholly committed to offering a high-quality provision for children. Extremely effective self-evaluation precisely identifies the next steps to continue to raise the quality of the club. This helps to build on the outstanding practice and excellent interactions with children. n Children's voices are incredibly well listened to.

children's strong sense of belonging. Parents speak incredibly highly of the after-school club and the staff. They comment that the club is 'brilliant', and praise the excellent communication and high levels of happiness of their children. n Managers and staff are inspiring practitioners. Their enthusiasm and involvement in children's play is superb. This contributes to children's high levels of confidence and their motivation to share their ideas and achievements. n Children demonstrate exceptional levels of kindness. Older children are extremely nurturing to younger children. Younger children look up to older children, and they eagerly try to copy them and aspire to be like them. n Settling-in arrangements are incredibly supportive of children's individual needs. Children are invited to visit the club and staff provide a significant range of information to parents before they join. This helps children to develop excellent relationships with

Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Safeguarding is effective. The staff and mangers' understanding of safeguarding procedures is excellent. They talk confidently of the steps to take if they have any concerns about a child's safety or well-being. The managers use rigorous recruitment and induction procedures to thoroughly vet staff and ensure they have an excellent understanding of their roles. They have implemented highly effective arrangements to keep staff up to date with their responsibilities and ensure that children's well-being is a priority. The managers have identified how they can use these monitoring systems to strengthen the quality of interactions even further. The managers offer significant opportunities for staff and parents to contribute their feedback about the club. For instance, they send out parent satisfaction surveys about the settling-in procedures and ongoing care, as well as attending school events to meet with teachers and families.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff provide an excellent range of resources for children to choose from. They are exceptionally skilled at setting challenges, demonstrating new skills and communicating with children. For instance, children are mesmerised as staff demonstrate how to spin plates, flip diablos and juggle. Children listen incredibly well and demonstrate exceptional levels of perseverance and self-motivation as they practise the new skills. Children are extremely excited to master the actions and eagerly seek help to extend the tricks further. This contributes to children's high levels of self-esteem. Children are extremely resourceful and excellent problem solvers. For example, older children carefully planed how to create three-dimensional doors in their artwork and sought out the resources they needed to execute their plans. Younger children concentrated intensely as they practised tying knots in strings to build their own fishing rods.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are superb role models and manage behaviour extremely well. Children's behaviour is excellent. They demonstrate high levels of independence, and consistently initiate play and become totally engrossed. Staff offer children plentiful opportunities to be active and enjoy the fresh air. Children enjoy taking part in skills workshops, free play and team sports. Outdoors, they enjoy exploring the nature trail and woodland area as well as taking part in group games. Staff place a strong focus on supporting children to understand healthy lifestyles and develop their self-care skills. For example, children demonstrate excellent skills of independence as they create their own meals at tea time. They listen intently to one another's different ideas for healthy food combinations and eagerly share their sandwich creations. Children are incredibly well supported to develop an understanding of diversity and the world around them. Staff inspire children to

participate in meaningful experiences to learn about those whose lives are different to their own and foster an atmosphere of kindness. For instance, children enjoyed filling a shoe box to create Christmas gifts for children around the world. They delight in tracking their journeys and take part in litter pick-ups to protect the environment.
