opportunities. Experienced managers encourage staff to reflect on recent training attended and put it into practice. For example, staff attended a gymnastics course. This has impacted on how they teach children to use the equipment safely during sports activities. n Leaders and managers are highly reflective and passionate about driving continuous improvement across the club. For example, they recently adapted the space, splitting the hall into two sections.
