to deliver first-rate provision at the club. Children's views are at the heart of everything staff do. The manager proactively invites feedback from children, staff and parents to enable further improvements. Self-evaluation is highly effective and development planning is concise.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff interact with children extremely well and show a genuine interest in what they say. Children feel valued and they have a delightful sense of ownership of the club which they are proud to attend. They confidently communicate with each other and staff. Staff are naturally skilful in extending children's learning while joining in with their play. For example, children are sensitively guided to count, think about and record what they have seen in the farm play. Staff are quick to take spontaneous opportunities to encourage children's thinking. The manager holds regular meetings with Reception teachers to discuss children's welfare and learning needs. Staff at the club use detailed information gathered from teachers, about children's targets, to tailor children's experiences at the club. They complete comprehensive observations of children and track their progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children are motivated learners and they show a strong sense of belonging and a calm confidence. They are empowered to lead their own play and make their own choices. Children's behaviour is exceptional. There is no fuss or disagreement as children know that they are listened to by staff and other children. Children are tremendously respectful to one another and to adults. Older children and younger children play together harmoniously. Older children are impressively nurturing with younger children. For example, they considerately remind them how to manage risks. Younger children enjoy their attentiveness and thoughtfulness and they are remarkably at ease in older children's company. Children share extremely strong attachments with staff who they trust. They are relaxed and settled from the moment that they arrive. Staff are consistently calm, caring and patient. Children learn about healthy lifestyles through a

remarkably varied range of approaches. For example, children talk with great enthusiasm about their weekly sports coaching sessions. Children prepare healthy snacks, demonstrating impressive independence. Staff skilfully adapt their assistance to support the needs of different children so that children remain empowered to be independent.
