p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children happily enter the holiday club and engage in conversations with staff and their friends. They choose specific activity days throughout the holidays, such as football, soft ball cricket, and forest adventure. Children thoroughly enjoy practising their football skills such as dribbling, kicking and shooting the ball at the goal. During soft ball cricket, they practise throwing the ball at the wickets and patiently wait for their turn. The children receive plenty of praise and encouragement from the coaches and they persevere to develop their skills, showing they feel safe and secure at the club. Children are very interested in the forest adventure activities. They eagerly talk about the bug hotel they have made and how they hope to see woodlice and bees visit it.

Staff support children's understanding of healthy lifestyles. There is a 'sun station' and staff remind children to reapply sun cream throughout the day when the weather is warm and sunny. Children have access to water to refill their bottles as and when needed. The activities are mostly sports based and this means children have plenty of fresh air and exercise.

n Staff report that they feel well supported in the club. They say that they receive regular training opportunities and have clear targets for development. Senior staff make regular observations of staff's practice and provide clear feedback, which enables staff to make ongoing improvements to their practice. This improves the experiences offered to the children. n The holiday club offers an inclusive service. Children of all backgrounds and abilities are welcomed and supported to enjoy the activities offered. Those children who receive additional funding stay all day, so they do not miss out on any of the experiences. n Staff help the children learn about the rules to keep themselves and others safe. When lighting the campfire at forest adventure, staff remind the children of the boundaries of how close they can be to the fire and that they cannot run when near it. Staff talk to the children about how to make a fire safely and remind

29 August 2023 energised. Parents report that their children have made new friends that attend other schools and that their children would like to continue these friendships outside of the club. n The provider has clear priorities for improvements for the holiday club. He invests a lot of time in providing staff training and development to ensure the workforce have a career path to look forward to and that children receive high- quality coaching. He is also widening the range of activities offered to the children, such as performing arts and cooking workshops. This means children will have a broader range of specific activities to attend based on their individual interests. n Children enjoy using their imaginations in the forest adventure. They make a den that they decide is a zoo and explain they only have two slugs, two snails and two spiders in it. Children make pretend food for the café and invite staff to

play with them and they pretend to eat the 'chips'. Children show they have formed secure relationships with staff. n Children's behaviour is good. They learn the rules and boundaries they need to follow to keep themselves and others safe. Staff manage any minor disputes sensitively, helping children learn the consequences of their actions on others.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The designated safeguarding lead and the staff know the thresholds for making a referral to the relevant agencies should a safeguarding concern about a child's welfare arise. They know the procedure to follow if they are concerned about the conduct of another member of staff. Staff receive regular training about safeguarding and the importance of following the club's procedures to minimise any risks to the children and themselves. Recruitment procedures are robust, and this helps to ensure that adults working with the children are suitable to do so.
