n Leaders talk about how they obtain and frequently review detailed information from parents about children's needs and interests, so that staff know how to help children to feel confident and secure. Leaders understand the importance of implementing a flexible and enticing programme using the club's four principal values of play, create, engage and inspire. These are interwoven throughout weekly themes that are chosen by children. Leaders make the very best use of on-site specialists to enhance children's experiences. For example, they learn how moths are important to the ecosystem from a lepidopterist. n Leaders understand the importance of working in partnership with children to promote positive behaviour and respect for others. Staff encourage all children to understand and contribute to the club values. This helps to provide children with ownership of their own behaviour and supports a strong sense of

belonging. n Leaders know how to encourage children to adopt a healthy lifestyle. For example, they provide them with ample opportunities to be physically active and curious in the extensive outdoor grounds. Children participate in forest school sessions, engage in team games and learn to negotiate and assess risks using large equipment, such as the trim trail. Staff invite children to be fully involved in helping to prepare their own nutritious snacks. Leaders explain how this motivates children to try a wider range of foods. n Leaders demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting staff's professional growth. Staff are supported to be reflective of their own practice and leaders identify areas for development. Additional training is provided as needed, prioritising staff's individual learning preference. This approach ensures that staff have the skills and confidence necessary to support children effectively.

n Leaders explain how children's safety is paramount. The system in place for the hand over and collection arrangements of children is robust. This ensures that children are consistently accounted for and only collected by individuals who are authorised to do so. Staff regularly complete safeguarding training and receive rigorous ongoing support to help identify and take appropriate action should they have concerns about a child's welfare. n Leaders understand the importance of working in partnership with parents. Secure arrangements are in place that keep them fully informed of their child's time at the club. Parents are invited to events such as question and answer sessions and picnics with their children and staff.

27 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.
