p.1

This provision is good

 Strong leadership and management help to ensure the smooth running of the club. There is good attention to staff training and everyone is clear on their responsibilities.  Children flourish in the club and show strong relationships with staff and friends. They behave well, understand the club's rules and the staff's expectations of them. Staff value all that children do.  Children are happy and enjoy their time at the holiday club. There is good attention to being physically active. Children gain plenty of exercise.  The leader has a very strong partnership with the school. Regular meetings help staff have a clear understanding of children's individual needs.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Ongoing self-evaluation helps to identify areas for improvement but the leader does not include all staff as well as possible in helping to improve children's play opportunities.  Staff provide a good range of enjoyable activities but do not always focus quite as well as possible in supporting children's interest in being creative.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The directors employ a well-qualified core staff team. Staff follow good policies and procedures to ensure requirements are met. Safeguarding is effective. There is a strong emphasis on child protection. All staff know what to do if concerned about the welfare of a child or adult. Strong recruitment, vetting and induction procedures help to ensure staff are suitable for their roles. Staff are vigilant and undertake effective daily risk assessments. This helps to ensure the premises remain secure and safe for children's use. Risk assessments include specialised equipment, such as the bouncy castle. There is regular staff supervision to discuss any training and coaching needs. Staff undertake training to develop their play skills further. New play sessions in the forest encourage children's love of the outdoors and nature. Staff have good relationships with parents, which helps them to meet children's needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff provide children with a good range of play activities and experiences. For example, they enjoy opportunities to see and handle unusual, colourful reptiles. Children play harmoniously together and have fun with their siblings and friends. They show confidence and are fully involved and well-motivated to take part. Children develop physical skills well. They play football, basketball and climb trees. Children are excited and enjoy the well-managed swimming session. They show strong personal independence skills, for example, when dressing and undressing. The staff stay close by and support children well. They talk to children and give opportunities to build on their knowledge and skills in play. Children enjoy books and have lively conversations with staff and friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The friendly staff welcome children warmly into the club. Children come in with self- assurance and settle well. They talk happily with their key person and the manager who know each child extremely well. Parents are well informed of their children's day and of any accidents. Children's safety is maintained by vigilant supervision from the staff, for example, during swimming and play in the woods. Children experience plenty of physical challenge outside and learn to manage their own risks under the watchful eyes of staff. Staff meet children's nutritional needs well and promote good hygiene routines. They ensure water is freely available for children to drink. Children enjoy helping others and taking responsibility. For example, they put away the items in their 'food shop'.
