n The provider places a strong emphasis on physical activity. Parents can sign children up to football training, which is led by experienced coaches. Other children have access to the school's playground and climbing equipment. Staff provide daily indoor challenges, such as basketball and darts. These highly active experiences support children's overall health, well-being and enjoyment. n The provider makes sure all his staff are suitable to work with children.

This provides children with a friendly face and supports the effective transition between settings. The provider understands the importance of continuous professional development. He encourages his staff to undertake training that supports their ongoing development of knowledge and skills.

There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
