This provision is good

 The manager monitors the quality of the holiday club effectively. She works closely with the leadership team to ensure that children enjoy a variety of experiences throughout their time at the club. For instance, they play a range of sports as well as taking part in cooking and craft activities.  There is a well-established team of staff who are very community focused. Many staff are highly qualified and bring experience of teaching to the club. They are good role models who mentor and help support new and existing staff to develop their knowledge and skills.  Staff have a secure understanding of their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding children's welfare. They know what to do if they have a child protection concern about a child. This helps to keep children safe.  Children's behaviour is good. They learn about the feelings of others and respond positively to rules and boundaries. For example, they help new children to make friends

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager uses efficient procedures when recruiting, inducting and supporting her staff, to ensure all are and remain suitable for their roles. For example, staff have regular supervision to help identify any training needs and enhance their professional development. The manager carries out effective risk assessments to minimise hazards. Staff teach children how to keep themselves and others safe. For instance, children learn how to hold a tennis racquet safely by placing the end on the top of their foot as they wait for their turn. The manager develops positive relationships with the parents and other professionals that use the club. Staff celebrate children's achievements and share information with parents frequently about what their children have done at the club. Parents praise the holiday club and say that their children really enjoy their time there.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager plans interesting and age-appropriate activities for children. Staff have a good understanding of how to support children's play. They organise the environment well to ensure that resources are readily available. The staff divide children into age groups, as this ensures the activities are safe and suitable. Staff skilfully engage children in activities. For instance, they enjoy joining in with craft activities, such as looking at patterns as they decorate the wings of their butterflies. Children have great fun as they play and interact with their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide children with a good range of group and team games where they are required to be patient and learn new rules. For example, they learn tennis and hockey skills. Staff assist children to practise their physical skills. For instance, children are eager to complete mini assault courses and they try their hardest to beat the adults in races. Children follow good hygiene routines and they develop a good understanding of a healthy lifestyle. They enjoy healthy snacks and are encouraged to have a drink when they have been running around. Staff ensure children have opportunities to exercise in the outdoor area. For example, children play traditional playground games. Children learn about their own and other people's similarities and differences and have good levels of respect. For instance, they are polite and hold doors open for adults.
