Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Relationships between staff and children are positive, fun and warm. Children are very confident and approach any adult with ease and confidence. Children who are new to the club are buddied up with a familiar person; this helps them to quickly settle and understand the routines of the club. Children demonstrate a great sense of pride and belonging at the club. They play harmoniously together in a wealth of games. Older children support younger children and show real kindness.

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Leaders place high priority on health and safety at the camp. Staff are extremely vigilant throughout all activities to maintain children's safety. They are experts at supporting children to be confident and understand the rules and boundaries of a wealth of activities children experience. This ensures children understand how to keep themselves and others safe. For instance, before the children use the electric go-karts, staff go over the safety rules, such as green for go and red for stop. Staff are skilled at linking their discussions to previous knowledge that children already have, so even the youngest understand.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Staff adapt and recognise when some younger children might need additional support to ensure they gain a sense of achievement and join in with the games. This promotes an inclusive environment for all children to enjoy, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, or barriers to learning. Leaders and staff monitor children's attendance and punctuality to ensure they receive continuity in their care.

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children are very happy and comfortable at this warm club. They seek out adults when they need help or want to share something, and staff respond with warmth and attention. Leaders take the time to get to know the children's families well before children start at the club. This ensures that every child is known as an individual from the outset. Leaders and staff have a deep understanding of the local community and families. They use this knowledge to tailor provision. They place a clear focus on promoting healthy eating and children developing excellent lifestyle habits. Leaders provide parents with a wealth of information when their children start at the club, including ideas for healthy lunch boxes. Furthermore, staff understand the risks that children could encounter online and promote online safety through discussion with the children in their play.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff actively support children to understand and express their feelings through various games and within their daily conversations. Staff role model to children how to keep themselves safe as they move around the swimming pool area and climb the stairs for their planned craft activities. Staff embed and follow hygiene at every opportunity. This helps children understand the routines of the club independently and manage mealtimes with ease. Younger children who need additional support are included naturally by the responsive staff.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Leaders and staff successfully promote an inclusive culture. Strong partnerships with parents and carers underpin this inclusive practice. Staff are highly effective at information- sharing between families and external professionals, which ensures that key strategies, routines and individual requirements are clearly understood. This consistency helps children to feel comfortable, secure and well cared for within the club. Children's developmental needs are carefully supported. Staff use intentional praise and set clear, achievable targets to encourage positive behaviours, such as turn-taking and cooperation. For example, staff anticipate when children may need additional support to follow routines and respond proactively. This approach helps children to build confidence, develop social skills and experience a sense of achievement, all while having fun.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Staff are well trained, professional and highly attentive to individual needs. They provide a wide range of stimulating activities for children, allowing them the freedom to choose whether they prefer to relax indoors with a craft activity or play outdoors with their friends and club staff. Staff are vigilant and swiftly adapt activities effectively, ensuring all children are included and supported to participate fully. Children thoroughly enjoy it when they invite staff to join in their games. This helps strengthen relationships between the staff and children, helping them feel safe and secure.

Leaders have very high expectations for the ongoing quality of the club. They demonstrate a clear understanding of the strengths of the setting and identify areas for development with clarity. They act on these swiftly and effectively, ensuring continuous improvement. For example, they have recently introduced a story based on the mascot of the club to support younger children at group times so that it is more age- and stage-appropriate for them.

p.3
