For instance, children stay within the areas used by their year groups. They understand that they must only use the equipment in these areas. Their behaviour is good.

boundaries in place. Staff speak to one another and to children with respect and kindness. Children behave very well. n Head office staff provide good administrative support and ensure staff keep up to date with relevant training. Quality checks are carried out through supervisions to ensure the club offers a consistently good standard of care. n Leaders have clear oversight over mandatory training to ensure that it is renewed within the required timescales.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The provider ensures that the staff team receive the required training to fulfil their safeguarding roles. The site leader uses discussions and policy reviews to ensure that staff know how to protect children from harm. Staff demonstrate a good understanding of how to recognise potential signs of abuse. Staff are also aware of wider safeguarding issues, such as extremism and radicalisation. They know the procedures to follow, should they have concerns about a child's welfare or the conduct of a member of staff. Checks are carried out by the provider to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Comprehensive written safeguarding policies clearly explain the procedures to follow, and staff demonstrate that they fully understand these.
