Staff at this school holiday sports club are extremely kind and welcoming towards children. They speak in a respectful manner and teach children about being kind to others. This helps children build positive relationships and understand other people's feelings. Leaders offer a fun, safe and inclusive setting, which adapts and caters to all children's needs and skills. Staff join in with the children's activities and share their love for sports through well-thought-out exercises.

This provision meets requirements

Staff respond well to children's needs and requests and children are confident to ask for help. Children show caring behaviours and respect for their peers. They apologise if they have hurt someone during part of a game and check if they are all right. Children share the things that they like to do and talk about their life at home. Younger children enjoy the activities in the playroom. They read stories, pretend to cook and build towers with bricks. Children interact well with their peers and adults during the activities. They offer their own ideas and suggestions. For example, children say which colour should be used for each part of the drawing they are colouring. This helps children feel confident to share their opinions.

n Routines, environments and activities are extremely well planned and organised. Staff offer experiences that widen children's experience of the world. Children learn about and practise archery alongside more common sports, such as basketball and football. Staff give clear instructions and recall previous experiences to help children remember what they have done before. As a result, children know what to do and this helps them feel secure. n Staff are good role models. They encourage and help children tidy up after each exercise and explain why that is important. Staff say please and thank you when they speak with children and urge them to do the same. This helps children understand what is expected of them. n Staff teach children about risks and being safe. They talk about why it is not safe to throw the balls around as they might hit someone's head, which could be dangerous. This helps children understand how to keep themselves safe and the

School 18 February 2025 score. Even when children struggle with an exercise, staff still praise them for their attempts. This helps children feel proud of themselves and positively affects their self-esteem. n There are effective procedures in place to cater for children's health and allergy needs. They have continuous access to their own water bottles and are encouraged to drink throughout the day. This helps them understand what their body needs and keep healthy. Children have plenty of opportunities to be independent. For example, they go to the toilet by themselves and select their own snacks at mealtimes. Staff encourage children to find solutions to their own problems. This helps children build critical thinking and resilience. n Staff listen to children's views and try to accommodate their requests, whenever possible. They negotiate and come to an agreed plan together. For example, sometimes children choose what team they would like to play in or what game

to play next. They feel listened to and take ownership of the club. n Leaders are always at hand to support staff, observe practice and act as good role models. They effectively train and deploy staff to help children who need extra support. Safe recruitment procedures are in place to ensure staff's initial and ongoing suitability to work with children. Supervision meetings are effective and support staff's understanding of their roles and responsibilities. This has a positive impact on staff's professional development. n Leaders implement effective ways to communicate with parents about their child's day at the club. They collect relevant information about children before they join, such as dietary requirements or existing disabilities. This helps staff adapt exercises to meet children's needs.
