This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy their time at the holiday club. A clear plan of the daily activities helps children to understand the routine of the day and they are excited and eager to participate in the varied activities. Children take part in dance, sports, creative and science sessions. They practise and build on their existing skills.

This provision meets requirements

Children learn about the rules of the club each day that keep them safe. A morning group discussion helps children to understand about what acceptable behaviour is. They talk about 'kind hands', kind words and respect for each other. The emphasis is on 'having fun'. Children behave well. They recognise where new children may need the additional support of a friend and show care for each other.

This provision meets requirements

Staff are kind and respond positively to the children and provide good role models. They listen to children's views and provide them with lots of praise and encouragement throughout the sessions to support their emotional well-being. The environment has very much a can-do feeling. Staff help children to celebrate what they do well through the rewards system, which has a range of stickers and certificates for children's achievements and for their behaviour. Children are confident and show high levels of self-esteem and they want to do well.

n The provider has suitable recruitment and vetting procedures in place. All staff have an induction that includes training for the role and information about their responsibilities. Regular supervisions and meetings help staff to identify what works well and what can be improved through the evaluation of children's experiences. n Children's safety and well-being are a priority at the club. Rigorous checks on arrival and collection ensure that people collecting children are authorised to do so. This includes a secure password for adults collecting children at the end of the day. Regular head counts during the day provide staff with the 'magic number' that confirms that all children are accounted for. The provider shares daily information with the staff team that supports the care of each child, such as individual dietary requirements. n A wide range of physical challenges provide children with many opportunities to

practise their physical development. Staff are skilled in teaching children routines in dance. They learn each section and then put this together to make a full performance. Children move their 'spaghetti' arms and practise twisting their wrists as they make meatballs. They laugh with excitement as they pretend to be different animals as part of the jungle theme of the week. Children explore their own space and how to be safe while moving around. That said, at times

23 February 2023 the views of the children could be more fully integrated into the theme. n The outdoor area provides space for children to play freely on climbing equipment and to explore and take part in team games. They follow instructions as they use the parachute. They talk about the different types of weather and how the parachute would move in the wind, rain and sunshine. Children skilfully swap places, running under the parachute to the other side. They take turns and encourage each other in tag games, this encourages them to move their bodies in different directions with speed. n Children are independent in their own personal care but due to the lay out of the building, staff provide appropriate supervision to keep them safe. Children are encouraged to follow and maintain good hygiene practises throughout the day. Healthy eating is encouraged with parents and lunchtime is a social time, where

children talk and interact with each other and staff in a large group. Children have access to fresh drinking water. n Partnership with parents is good. There is time on arrival and at collection to speak to staff. The provider has a brief written record to keep parents informed about the activities that their children have taken part in. An 'All About Me' form at the start of a placement provides staff with important information about the children and their interests. Parents report that they like the variety of activities and that their children have had a 'brilliant time' at the club.

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Staff understand their responsibilities to safeguard children. All staff complete child protection training online and the provider makes regular checks that staff have understood their duty to keep children safe and that their knowledge is up to date. Staff are aware of the signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is more at risk of abuse and they are aware of local guidelines for reporting any concerns. A daily review of the premises helps staff to assess any risks and take action to minimise these risks and keep children safe.
