p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at this warm and welcoming holiday club happy and eager to start their day. Staff warmly greet the children and their families. They ensure that the children's information is up to date and correct. For instance, staff gather information about the parent/carer who is collecting the children. This helps to keep children safe and secure in the club.

This provision meets requirements

Staff carefully consider how to develop children's physical development. They plan ample opportunities and resources in the vast outside area. Children experience a range of activities that support their physical development. For example, they play games, such as 'Duck-Duck-Goose', and children have great fun as they chase their chosen friends and staff. Furthermore, staff plan obstacle races for the children to take part in. Young children learn new skills, such as using a hula hoop and skipping. This supports children's large-muscle development.

Mostly, staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. For example, they use the daily welcome session to help children learn how to keep themselves safe and be kind to their friends. Furthermore, they teach children the procedure in the event of a fire.

n Staff plan fun and engaging craft activities for children. For example, children decorate different pictures of fish. Staff introduce new names of the fish, such as 'puffer fish'. Children excitedly say they have created a rainbow fish. Staff provide children with plenty of time as they finish their pictures. They provide opportunities for children to display their creations proudly. This helps children feel valued in the club. However, occasionally, in children's free play, the organisation of some activities means that some children cannot access the resources. This means that these activities become overcrowded, and children do not benefit from their chosen play. n Leaders and staff gather information when children attend the holiday club. This helps them find out children's interests and any medical needs. Leaders use this information to ensure that staff have undertaken training to support children

with medical needs and allergies. This helps promote inclusion across the club. n Staff support children's understanding of a healthy lifestyle effectively. For example, staff gently remind children to regularly drink water as they take part in physical games. This helps children develop healthy habits. n Overall, staff support children to develop their behaviour and social skills. They play alongside children to help them develop their positive behaviour. For instance, staff help younger children to take turns with magnetic blocks as they

This means they take longer to establish their early friendships. n Partnership with parents is well established. Leaders share daily activities with the parents and seek regular feedback from them. Parents say that the staff know the children well, and their children often ask if they are going to attend the club. n Leaders place high importance on keeping children safe. Staff complete robust risk assessments on all areas of the inside and outside environment. This helps ensure that the areas used by children are safe and suitable for their needs. For instance, children have the opportunity to take part in child-appropriate go- karting. This is thoroughly risk-assessed before each use. Furthermore, staff use outside equipment according to the children's ages. This means children know

what is expected of them, so they can keep themselves safe. n Leaders ensure that there are robust systems in place to recruit staff. Staff receive an in-depth induction and are encouraged to develop their skills. For example, managers are coached by senior leaders as they complete leadership training. This helps them become confident in their roles and responsibilities. Furthermore, staff receive regular supervision, which allows them to reflect on their own practice. Staff say they feel very valued and supported in their work.
