Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The ambitious leadership team are passionate about continually improving the quality of care offered to children at the club. They have developed effective systems for self- evaluation. Staff consistently share and review their ideas for indoor activities to develop the play opportunities for children even further. They meet for regular staff meetings, to reflect on practice and identify areas of improvement. The leadership team follow robust recruitment and induction procedures. They have developed effective programs for staff supervision and to ensure ongoing suitability. Staff regularly attend ongoing training to improve the play opportunities available for children. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of the procedures to follow if they have a concern about the safety or welfare of a child. They know the signs that indicate a child is at risk of abuse or neglect. The leadership team have developed comprehensive policies and procedures,

which contribute to the high-quality care children receive. These include regular risk assessments and fire drills, which help to ensure that areas used by the club are kept safe and risks are minimised.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff interactions with children are warm and nurturing. Children are keen to share their experiences and staff listen carefully to their ideas. Children gain a range of skills to support their learning at school. Staff plan activities that encourage children of all ages to play together. For instance, they are excited to participate in games, such as moving pom-poms between trays using large tongs, as they time their efforts. Children are eager to beat their last time and cheer one another along. Children who prefer to be quieter sit and read their favourite books. Others enjoy taking part in the creative activities that are available. For instance, they are interested to decorate polystyrene Easter eggs to hide in the outdoor areas for an egg hunt. They talk animatedly about which stickers they will use and the colours they have chosen for their eggs. Another group enjoy using stencils and drawing their favourite toys. Children are encouraged to use their imaginations. For

example, they carefully connect construction toys to create large models and talk about what they have built.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children demonstrate extremely high levels of happiness and confidence at the club. Staff build children's self-esteem exceptionally well. For instance, they consistently encourage them to share their achievements and ask well-considered questions to encourage them to share their thoughts. This contributes to children developing a strong sense of belonging. Staff place a strong focus on learning about healthy lifestyles. For example, children are all encouraged to try new foods and talk about their favourite combinations when making wraps at tea time. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They have high levels of independence and excellent self-care skills. All children share, patiently take turns to choose food at tea time and have excellent table manners. Social relationships across ages, genders and schools are exceptionally strong. They are excited to greet one another with hugs when they arrive and are extremely kind and respectful

to one another. For instance, older children are extremely nurturing as they help younger children to prepare their afternoon snacks and invite them to take part in games.
