Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

Staff have a rigorous induction and receive excellent support and coaching from management. Staff have designated key roles and responsibilities. The providers target key training that helps staff to fulfil these specific roles and to improve other areas of their personal effectiveness. This contributes successfully to the extremely safe and efficient management of the club and staff's skilful interactions. Safeguarding is effective. Staff undertake meticulous risk assessments and have a thorough knowledge of child protection issues. This contributes significantly to children's safety. The manager reinforces staff's knowledge effectively, for instance, through in-house safeguarding training and quizzes. The providers continually review practice with staff, in extensive ways. They are now focusing on monitoring action plans with greater precision to evaluate the impact of improvements.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The deputy manager is also the inspiring and passionate early years coordinator. She is a wonderful asset to the club. As part of her role, she oversees comprehensive planning. This superbly incorporates children's targeted next steps for learning, shared by Reception staff, and children's ideas and interests. These are magnificently gained, for instance, through surveys, children's interest books, evaluations of play and room plans and a reflective diary. Each child has a delightful keepsake of their first year at the club. Staff share their observations from this with Reception staff, helping to inform school assessments. Staff motivate children with their great enthusiasm during activities, such as making ice lollies, planned as part of the 'Food' theme. Children listen attentively as staff explain the process. Staff reinforce essential mathematical and literacy skills. For example, children create story stones and create tally charts during a bug hunt. Children

develop confidence in their physical skills through extensive physical activity. For example, they take part in team sports games, inside and out, and go bowling.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff provide a detailed 'Welcome to Outlane Out of School Club' document for parents to share information about their child. Subsequently, staff plan a wealth of 'new starter' activities to help children to settle in. For example, children receive a welcome certificate and complete their own 'All about me booklets', displayed for children to add to. Staff also display children's photographs and drawings, and children create paper plate self- portraits. Staff continually liaise with parents. They provide a wide array of information, for example, through notice boards and newsletters. Parents' views are gained through comprehensive questionnaires. Children constantly make choices, such as through cafe- style mealtime routines. Children decide when they want to eat and select from a variety of healthy items reflected in menus placed on tables. Staff celebrate children's successes at school, the club and at home. They display these on the 'Achievements and

celebrations' board. This helps to highly foster children's self-esteem and self-worth. Children have second-to-none opportunities to learn about diversity. For example, they create 'Children of the world' collages, make diva lamps for Diwali and make Native American dreamcatchers.
