This provision meets requirements

n Leaders place importance on recruiting staff from the host school, first and foremost, who know the children well. Staff have positive relationships with children and a strong understanding of where they are in their development. As a result, children focus on activities for long periods of time and share their own ideas. n Children are happy to choose what they would like to do and share their preferences with staff. Children are confident with the routines of the club, which means they feel safe and secure as they know what is going to happen next. n Children have access to a range of activities at the club and staff provide many options to meet children's preferences. They can develop their fine and gross motor skills. For example, children use pipettes and straws in paint to develop their finger muscles, and they practise large movements when dancing and learning new movements. Staff are skilled at knowing when children need staff

interaction and when they do not. n Children behave very well. Staff continuously praise children for their behaviour, ideas and achievements. This helps to build children's self-confidence.

Additionally, staff explain why boundaries are in place, which supports children's understanding. n Children are independent in using the bathroom and wash their hands before meals. They gather their own lunch bags to sit at the table with their friends. During mealtimes, staff model positive conversational skills as children share their home experiences. This helps to promote children's social skills. n Leaders ensure staff are suitable through safer recruitment procedures.

When children start at the holiday club, leaders learn about them to ensure they are safe when they attend. For example, they ask parents if children have any allergies or medication they need to be aware of. Additionally, staff ensure the environment is safe and the emergency procedures are clear, alongside teaching children how to keep themselves safe throughout the day. n There is an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts children's interests first.

1 November 2024 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.
