Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

It is evident that children enjoy their time at the club. They eagerly become engrossed in activities and settle quickly. Staff liaise with school teachers and follow topics being taught in school. For example, they are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the school being open and children are learning about changes that have occurred during this period of time. The highly effective strategies for sharing information promote continuity of care and learning for children. Staff plan all activities exceptionally well so that children enthusiastically engage in exciting play opportunities. This supports the children to build on their existing skills and develop them further. Staff use their excellent knowledge of children extremely well to support their individual interests. For example, staff create a hairdressing salon for the children. This proves very popular and an amazing way to inspire their imagination from first-hand experiences. Children are

extremely confident. This is evident as they talk about their day at school or family holidays with enthusiasm.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

They are encouraged to join in with physical education sessions that develop an awareness of the importance of keeping fit and healthy. Snack times are social occasions where children enjoy nutritious and well-balanced snacks. Children develop their self-help skills as they butter their own crackers and pour their own drinks. Staff are excellent role models. They demonstrate passion and enthusiasm for their role. Staff place an extremely sharp focus on nurturing children's physical and emotional well-being. They support children to be kind, tolerant and respectful of others. Behaviour in the club is exceptional. Children play together harmoniously, showing kindness and consideration to each other.
