This provision meets requirements

Children behave well. They understand it is important to listen to the staff to stay safe. Children learn to look after the equipment they use and to tidy it away when activities end. They take part in a range of sports that are reassuringly familiar, such as football. They are also excited to try new sports, such as fencing. The focus on ensuring they are physically active helps to promote their good health and interest in following a healthy and active lifestyle.

n Leaders have a clear vision of what they want children to get from attending the club. They want children to be physically active, to be safe, to enjoy healthy food and to make friends. They plan and deliver each session effectively to achieve these aims. n Staff plan fun and effective ways of helping children get to know each other. For example, children play games where they move around the room introducing themselves to each other and staff. Children tell visitors they have made lots of new friends. n Staff give younger children the extra attention and support they may need to join in and enjoy camp. This helps these children to get the most out of being there. For example, these children have a special member of staff who spends time with them and offers extra help and reassurance when needed. These younger children are soon fully involved with all the fun activities on offer. n Children show they are remembering well what they have learned at camp. For

example, children remember the core values of camp, such as to respect the building, equipment, each other and the staff. Children can give examples of what this means. n Children are learning to really enjoy an active lifestyle. During periods of free play, children often choose to play energetically, such as on exercise equipment or joining in ball games.

16 August 2021 n Staff plan activities that encourage cooperation, team work and problem solving. For example, during a game of 'human buckaroo', children have to work out how to balance different items on each other. Children persevere as they work together to find ways of balancing balls and bean bags on heads, arms and bodies. n Parents speak positively about their children's experience of going to the club. Parents value these opportunities for children to have fun and be active during the school holidays. Parents like the staff and how they talk to and interact with the children. Although parents of younger children are made aware that their children have a key person, they are not introduced to this staff member to enhance further the good parental partnerships. n Leaders include children, parents and staff in reviewing the club. Leaders use the feedback to improve further what they already do well. For example, they

have introduced 'scooter play' at the request of children. Feedback from staff has led to improved opportunities for children to develop their creative skills. n Relationships between staff and children are friendly and positive. Staff are very encouraging and cheerful. This helps create a happy atmosphere, where children laugh as they play and show they are having a really good time. n Staff feel valued and appreciated. One member of staff reports that the provider always texts at the end of each working day to ask if everything has gone well and to ask for feedback. Staff report and show that they enjoy working at the club.

Safeguarding

They have a good understanding of how to share concerns, including escalating concerns outside the organisation if necessary. Staff make regular checks on the premises to ensure they are safe and secure. They supervise children closely to help keep them safe.
