This provision meets requirements
Children enjoy this lively and stimulating club. Staff warmly welcome children and sensitively help them to settle, particularly the youngest and those new to the club. Leaders pay a high regard to children being physically active and outside whenever possible. Staff ensure that the club is fun and engaging, with a wide range of planned activities. These include challenging children to throw beanbags into hoops, badminton and a variety of circle games.

Children talk keenly of their achievements and relish sharing their accomplishments with other members of staff, who provide them with high praise.

This provision meets requirements
Behaviour expectations at the club are generally high. Children know the routines well, even when only having attended for a week. Staff act as positive role models and support children to negotiate any challenges that arise. The needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are met well. Staff ensure that breakout spaces are available for children when they need them, as well as separate, specific resources being assigned to help individual children regulate their behaviour when feeling overwhelmed.

n Staff take time to get to know the children well and form strong bonds with them. Adults often ensure that the activities on offer consider children's interests and stages of development. They arrange the areas and resources accessed by children carefully to help those with differing ages to become engrossed in their play. For example, arts and crafts and board games are available at the back of the hall for children feeling a little tired. Groups are sometimes split into age phases to encourage the youngest children to join in with circle games. n Leaders are clear about their vision for the club. They feel strongly that children should be respectful and considerate of others. However, at times, older children are permitted to become very loud and overzealous. This leads to the youngest children feeling anxious and a little reluctant to join in with some of the more physical games involving all of the club attendees.

n Children talk confidently about their favourite club activities. They state that staff are kind to them and listen to them attentively. Children enjoy spending time outside and the selection of art and craft opportunities staff plan for them. n Staff support children in learning about healthy lifestyles. They help children to learn the importance of washing their hands effectively before eating and which food items in their packed lunches are the healthiest and why. Leaders use

31 July 2025 additional funding to ensure all children have healthy snacks and meals throughout the day. n Children's independence skills are generally supported well. Children are reminded of the club rules at the start of each session. They clearly know these, as they tell adults what these are. Staff expect children to tidy up resources before they move on to subsequent activities. At times, this can take some time and repeated reminders from staff, leading to transitions being somewhat disruptive. n Good working relationships with the host school are in place. The holiday club also runs wraparound care for a number of local schools. This provides continuity of care for the children attending the club, particularly the youngest. n Parents speak highly of the club. They praise the work that the staff do and the care they provide for their children. Staff ensure that children's needs are met effectively.
