As a result, children are made safer and feel safe.

p.1

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Children's behaviour is excellent and staff have developed a harmonious atmosphere that is calm and welcoming. Morning briefings take place daily to remind children of the expectations of the setting and what is planned for the day ahead. Children listen carefully and show they fully understand by answering questions and sharing their thoughts and views. As a result, staff rarely need to remind children how to behave and all children are clear on the rules of the setting.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Staff have developed an environment that is really positive and engaging. Activities provided are extremely well planned and encourage all children to join in and work together. For example, children line up in teams and roll a ball under their legs to the next person before running to the front. This promotes children's coordination and provides high quality opportunities for them to work together and develop a really excellent sense of belonging.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Staff are very skilled at encouraging children to be independent. For example, children are asked to support their friends if they need help finding some equipment or knowing where their water bottle lives. As a result, children are keen to help a friend without being asked by an adult, which gives them a sense of pride and develops their self-esteem.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff work very hard to build positive relationships with all children who attend the setting. Effective partnerships with parents help staff to understand children's individual needs and how best to provide an excellent experience for everyone. As a result, children are excited to attend this nurturing and friendly setting.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children's welfare and wellbeing are the main priority for all staff. Risk assessments are robust and completed regularly, including children in discussions to make sure they understand the importance of keeping themselves safe. For example, staff skilfully check children's understanding on the importance of listening to instructions and telling staff they are going to the toilet. Because of this, children are learning to notice any dangers and are working together with others to keep everyone safe.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

The setting's ethos of being healthy and promoting physical activity is the golden thread that runs through everything they do. For example, staff teach children the benefits of being active and the importance of eating healthy food. Children thoroughly enjoy taking part in games with their friends such as winning points by knocking over a cone, using a ball. This makes staying active fun and creates a positive environment.

p.2

Inclusion Strong standard

Staff are extremely proactive in working closely with parents to find out how best to support their children in the setting. Parents share how they value the positive relationships staff have developed with them and how this has helped to make sure their child can fully access all of the activities.

p.2

Inclusion Strong standard

Every child is made to feel welcome and staff work exceptionally hard to make sure all children are able to access the experiences on offer. Staff work closely with parents to make sure they have a detailed knowledge of children's abilities and what they enjoy doing. This enables them to provide a broad range of activities that are tailored to the children attending on that day. As a result, all children are able to fully access everything on offer.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Staff are incredibly skilled at noticing when a child needs extra support of if an activity requires adapting. Changes are made promptly to make sure all children are given the same opportunities to join in with their friends. These changes are always made subtly and gently so that children can be supported to develop a specific skill at a pace that is appropriate to them. As a result, children learn new skills quickly and have developed really positive relationships with the whole staff team.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders have an excellent oversight of the setting and are extremely effective in setting up systems that support staff to deliver an offer that is high quality for every child who attends.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Robust systems are in place to monitor practice and support staff to be the best they can be. For example, staff receive training on different topics, including supporting children's mental health and effective ways to deliver experiences that promote a healthy lifestyle. As a result, the quality of practice is excellent and staff stay highly motivated and keen to learn new skills.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders have a very clear oversight of the setting's strengths as well as areas they would like to make even better. Staff are invited to share ideas regularly as well as part of whole organisation training days. This builds a superb culture where together, staff and leaders can strive to be the best they can.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Decisions made by leaders have children's best interests at heart. For example, a programme called 'summer of superpowers' gives children opportunities to learn new skills and be the best possible version of themselves. Parents share how their children really enjoy coming to the holiday club where they can play with others and learn something new.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders work extremely hard to provide experiences and opportunities to all children, regardless of their background or ability. Excellent relationships have been developed with the local school, which supports a consistent approach for children and their families.

What it's like to be a child at this setting

Children thoroughly enjoy coming to the setting to spend time with their friends and have fun. Staff work extremely hard to provide experiences that fully engage all children and promote a healthy lifestyle. Children are excited to spend time outside playing with cones and balls to develop and improve their coordination and physical development. These excellent opportunities keep children active while also allowing children time to build positive relationships with others.

p.4

About this setting

Unique reference number (URN): 2832407 Staff prioritise children's safety and wellbeing at all times. Children are fully involved in risk assessing the environment and understanding how their actions can help to keep everyone safe. For example, staff regularly check children's understanding by asking them whether something is safe or needs reviewing. As a result, children behave incredibly responsibly and fully understand the impact their actions have on others.

p.5

About this setting

Children really enjoy the calm environment that has been created in the setting. Staff are dedicated to ensuring that children feel happy and settled and use skilful techniques, including discussions with all children and sharing stickers, to promote positive relationships. This means children enjoy the space, which allows them to have conversations with others and make choices about which activities they would like to participate in.

p.5

About this setting

Staff use the 'Summer of Superpowers' theme to inspire children to try their best and celebrate their uniqueness. Children are excited to engage in activities that build on their existing skills as well as develop new ones. For example, children play the 'rock, paper, scissors' game, which encourages them to challenge their friends and move around the outside space quickly. As a result, children are making new friends, building confidence and moving their bodies.

p.5

Next steps

Leaders should ensure continued improvement in the setting's successful work to remove barriers for children who need extra help to realise a transformational impact on all children's achievement and wellbeing.
