The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The holiday club offers children a welcoming, inclusive and friendly environment. Staff are approachable and children have good relationships with them.  Staff take time to find out about the children. They gather this information from parents, and assess any additional needs children have, including any concerns shared through school. This has a positive impact on how the staff are able to meet children's needs, understand their interests and enable children to try new activities.  Children benefit from a broad range of resources both indoors and outdoors. These activities are planned well and enable children to freely choose their play and join other children of similar ages for team games and activities.  Children behave very well throughout the day. They understand the routines of the day and staff expectations.  Staff have an effective understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. They

implement a range of policies and procedures securely. These enable staff to keep children safe, and promote their health and well-being.  Staff are reflective about their practice. They seek the views of parents and children, and are therefore evaluate their practice well.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff offer less frequent opportunities for children to talk about their own experiences, to encourage further children's confidence in sharing what they know with others.  On occasion, staff miss chances to reinforce with children how to assess risks for themselves such as when transferring from different areas of the school grounds.

who attend. This is good

Staff plan well for children and use information from their weekly diaries, called 'passports', to find out about children's interests and what they enjoy taking part in. This information informs future planning. Children enjoy a broad range of activities and are motivated and eager to join in. Enthusiastic staff support children's self-awareness. They offer children encouragement to try things and this boosts their self-esteem. For example, as children learn circus skills to perform to their friends. They confidently pretend to be a lion tamer or lion, acrobat or ringmaster, and they learn to juggle and design posters for the circus. However, although staff encourage children to try new things, staff do not always extend the activity further; for example, encouraging children to talk about their own experiences, such as when they visited a real circus or their thoughts on the clown. Nevertheless, staff interactions positively complement the ways children are learning

through the other early years settings they attend.

good

Children have warm relationships with the staff and show they feel emotionally secure. Staff promote children's physical development very well through regular opportunities for play, both indoors and out. Children benefit from fresh air and exercise while at the same time developing their coordination skills. Children are learning to work together with others as a team. This develops their confidence, as well as understanding the rules of games through their listening and attention. Staff promote children's awareness of self- care skills and healthy lifestyles. Children are independent in making decisions and looking after their personal items. They are learning to consider their own safety when taking part in activities. However staff, on occasion, do not make the most of opportunities to enhance this further. For example, by helping children to develop their own assessment of risks when moving between the different aspects of the environment and crossing minor

provision is good

Staff safeguard children well. They regularly assess risks and are confident in their understanding of child protection matters. They understand the procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child. Staff use mobile devices appropriately to keep in touch with one another when in different areas of the school. The majority of staff hold valid paediatric first-aid certificates and know how to deal with a medical emergency. Effective practice is in place to record any accidents, medication administered and children's attendance. Systems for recruitment and vetting are robust. Staff benefit from regular training opportunities, coaching and support through supervision. This has a positive impact on the outcomes for children.
