This provision meets requirements

Children are greeted warmly at the start of the day. They have opportunities to share something unique about themselves at the welcome meeting and this helps them to initiate friendships and build on relationships from the outset. Children behave well. They take turns during their play and are polite and kind to others. For example, they showed concern when their new friend had a blister and received appropriate first aid. Older children enthusiastically recalled their morning basketball game at snack time. The winning side showed empathy for their friends and said it was a close game. All children are imaginative and enjoy painting and craft activities. They independently select resources of their choice and show confidence in exploring their environment.

Children of all ages have good opportunities to be active. They demonstrate high levels of energy as they enjoy outdoor sports and time on the climbing apparatus. Children practise new skills, such as how to use bows and shoot arrows in archery sessions. Indoors, they are proud to show others their own skills, for example ballet dancing and cartwheels. Staff follow children's lead and play alongside them enthusiastically. Although on the day of the inspection there was a replacement site leader present, children showed they felt secure in their environment with the warm and caring staff. They communicated their needs well, followed the rules and listened to instructions well.

n Due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, parents have not been able to enter the main areas of the club. However, staff make time to speak to parents at appropriate times. They demonstrate this at the start of the session, confirming data with parents, such as contact details and passwords. At the end of the day staff share information, such as activities children have enjoyed or any incidents that may have occurred. This helps to ensure continuity in children's care and well-being. n Staff get to know children well from the start.

Children are encouraged to complete their own information booklet during their sessions at the holiday club. This helps staff to get to know children quickly. n Staff support children's physical well-being and their understanding of a healthy lifestyle effectively.

For example, they carry out daily safety checks to ensure the rooms that children use are fit for purpose. Staff encourage children to manage risks and to think about their own personal safety.

planned activities each week. These are also displayed on entrance to the building. Following feedback from parents at the start of the summer club, the site leader has introduced further activities to children. At the end of each day, staff ask children about what they have enjoyed. They use this information to continue to build on the variety of experiences available to children. n Staff report that the management team are supportive. They have opportunities to discuss their roles and personal well-being. All staff attend mandatory training, such as safeguarding and food hygiene. The site leaders are currently completing training in managing children's behaviour and are using their new knowledge to increase the professional development of their staff team. This has a positive impact on children's routines, for example to help ensure snack time runs smoothly.

The club has robust procedures to make sure that children are only collected by persons with parental permission to do so.
