p.1
Safeguarding standards met
The safeguarding standards are met. This means that leaders and/or those responsible for governance and oversight fulfil their specific responsibilities and have established an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed. As a result, children are made safer and feel safe.
p.1
How we evaluate safeguarding
When we inspect settings for safeguarding, they can have the following outcomes:
p.1
How we evaluate safeguarding
Met: The setting has an open and positive culture of safeguarding. Not met: The setting has not created an open and positive culture of safeguarding. Not all legal requirements are met.
p.1
Inclusion Strong standard
Leaders consistently identify children's needs and make swift adjustments to ensure individual needs are met. Leaders continuously support all children, including those who face barriers to learning or wellbeing, to access and enjoy activities across the setting. They liaise very effectively with parents and carers. Early discussions with parents help leaders and staff understand where children may require additional support during activities or during mealtimes, where they have food allergies, for example.
p.2
Inclusion Strong standard
Leaders and staff consistently make a demonstrable difference to the experiences of children with barriers to learning and wellbeing. They use highly effective practice to swiftly identify and address barriers. For example, staff observe children closely during activities and identify key areas of need. They personalise teaching to support children in the areas where they may struggle. Staff carefully support them to dribble balls with hockey sticks and help those who find it difficult to throw and catch, until they achieve their goal. Staff rigorously monitor children's progress and adjust strategies as their needs change. This helps all children to achieve consistently well from their starting points. Staff know children very well. They quickly recognise where they need to make adjustments and take effective action, so all children enjoy their time here and thrive.
p.2
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard
Leaders establish routines and rules, explaining expectations of behaviour. Children form positive relationships and attachments with staff, and generally listen and behave well. Leaders ensure children understand the rules and why they are in place. They ask children to explain what the rules mean and why they are important, for instance. Staff explain rules associated with different sports and show children how to keep themselves safe during games. Staff encourage children to work collaboratively with one another and offer praise for their attempts and achievements.
p.2
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard
Staff model how to play team games and encourage children of all ages and stages of development to take part. Staff support younger children to engage in sports with older children. They explain rules and expectations in an age-appropriate and inclusive manner, so that younger children can understand, for instance. On occasion, staff have to repeat instructions and remind children that listening to the first explanation is important. Children generally behave well, but do not always walk sensibly, as asked, between activities. Their understanding of their own and others' personal safely is not always fully embedded through consistent practice. Leaders encourage parents and carers to arrive punctually for the start of each session. This helps all children to learn rules, expectations and get full enjoyment from activities throughout the day.
p.2
Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard
Leaders establish policies and practice that typically support children's welfare, mental health and overall wellbeing. They create an inclusive and welcoming environment with a range of sporting activities that all children enjoy. Leaders and staff encourage children to make healthy choices. They support parents and carers to provide children with healthy packed lunches that meet children's dietary needs for the day. Staff generally supervise children appropriately at mealtimes. On occasion, when children stand up while eating, staff remind them to sit until they have finished. Practice is not fully embedded to help children understand why this is important Children let staff know when they need to use the toilet. They develop an awareness of safety within specific contexts, learning how to use equipment safely to avoid injuries, for instance. Staff encourage children to rest after they eat and provide time to play freely. Staff encourage children to tidy up when they finish

eating, supporting them to be independent and develop self-help and care routines.
p.3
Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard
Leaders prioritise physical activities. Children develop a range of skills that strengthen their large muscles. They develop secure, warm attachments with staff and enjoy playing with their friends. Children engage in a range of activities, develop team-building skills, target skills, throwing and catching, for example. Staff support children to develop their emotional health. They encourage children to use quiet spaces to regulate their emotions, returning when they feel calm.
p.3
Leadership and governance Expected standard
Leaders demonstrate high standards of expectation for the provision. They highlight the strength of the setting as having well-trained staff to coach children in sports. They focus on areas of development to meet the needs of more children and to grow the club further. For example, leaders offer incentives to parents and carers, who refer the holiday club to other families. Leaders attend schools to talk to children in assemblies. They develop solid partnership working with school staff. Leaders promote the holiday club within the community, and welcome all new families and children to the holiday club.
p.3
Leadership and governance Expected standard
Staff know they can talk to leaders, when needed, who support them well in their roles. This support promotes staff's emotional health and wellbeing. Leaders regularly observe staff to promote consistency in practice. They understand that staff require some additional support to further embed children's understanding of how to keep themselves and others safe at certain times of the day. Leaders give constructive feedback that supports staff to make progress. They encourage staff to continue learning. Leaders reward staff with incentives for the training they complete. Staff are skilled in their areas of expertise, meet children's individual needs well and help children develop effective levels of physical skill. Leaders and staff work hard to form positive relationships with parents and communication is effective.

What it's like to be a child at this setting
Children arrive ready to start their day and are warmly greeted by staff. Children are happy and confident to try new experiences. They make friends, learning social skills as they take turns during team games, for example. They build positive attachments and trusting relationships with staff and talk about what they have in their lunch box. Children bring a packed lunch with foods they usually eat at school. This supports them to eat well throughout the day and promotes consistency in their routines between settings and home.

About this setting

p.5
About this setting
Children of all ages and stages of development learn that physical activity is important and fun. They play their favourite team games and enjoy learning new sports and skills. Children play games that help them to develop confidence, control and coordination. They play strategy games, such as battleships, and enjoy free time to play outdoors with their friends. Children develop communication and language skills, listen to rules and instructions and talk about previous games they have played and skills they have learned. Children progress in their skill level and strengthen different body parts as they take part in a variety of activities. For example, children use hockey sticks to dribble a ball around cones. They learn how to use an underarm throw and practise catching a ball, developing skills to use as they play cricket.
p.5
