p.1
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard
Leaders have established clear routines and expectations that help children feel safe, secure and ready to enjoy their time at the club. Children are welcomed warmly each day and benefit from positive relationships with staff, who generally know them well. Leaders recognise the importance of consistent approaches to behaviour and routines. While children generally respond positively to staff and understand the expectations of the club, these expectations are not always reinforced consistently by all adults. For example, during snack time, children are reminded that they should sit on the benches rather than the tables. In addition, they are reminded to ensure they are sitting when eating. However, these expectations are not always followed through consistently, resulting in some children receiving mixed messages about acceptable behaviour. As a result, children are not always supported to fully understand the reasons behind expectations or how their choices

contribute to keeping themselves and others safe.
p.2
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard
Children develop positive relationships with staff and each other. They show enthusiasm when taking part in activities and demonstrate positive attitudes towards trying new experiences, particularly during sports, team games and creative opportunities. Children are encouraged to work together, communicate their ideas and celebrate each other's successes. They show enjoyment in their time at the club and are keen to participate in the experiences available.
p.2
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard
Leaders understand the importance of creating an inclusive environment, where all children can participate and feel valued. Staff use their knowledge of children to support their emotional wellbeing, confidence and engagement, although this is not yet fully consistent for all children. Children are supported to make choices, develop independence and build friendships within the club community.
p.2
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard
Attendance is promoted through established relationships with families and by providing experiences that children enjoy and want to return to. Children benefit from seeing familiar staff and developing a sense of belonging, which supports their confidence and enjoyment of attending regularly.
p.2
Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard
Leaders prioritise children's welfare and wellbeing and have created a caring environment, where children feel safe, valued and supported. Staff build positive relationships with children and generally know them well, including their interests, preferences and individual needs. Children benefit from familiar adults, who provide reassurance, encouragement and support, helping them to settle quickly and enjoy their time at the club.
p.2
Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard
Children's emotional and physical wellbeing are promoted through a balance of active experiences, creative opportunities and quieter activities. Staff recognise that children have different needs and provide opportunities for children to make choices, develop independence and spend time in ways that support their confidence and wellbeing. Children with additional needs are supported to participate fully and are included alongside their peers.
p.2
Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard
Staff support children's confidence and relationships. However, quieter children are not always consistently identified and encouraged during less structured parts of the session. At times, staff do not adapt their interactions quickly enough to check in with these children or help them build confidence, meaning some children may take longer to develop friendships and a strong sense of belonging.
p.3
Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard
Children's health and safety are promoted through a range of routines, including access to drinking water, nutritious snacks and reminders about keeping safe. However, expectations around snack routines are not always consistently reinforced. For example, staff do not consistently reinforce children's understanding of safe eating practices, such as the importance of sitting down while eating to reduce the risk of choking.
p.3
Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard
Overall, leaders have established a nurturing environment, where children's wellbeing is valued. They recognise the importance of continuing to strengthen consistency in how staff support children's emotional needs and promote safe routines throughout the day.
p.3
Inclusion Expected standard
Leaders have created an inclusive culture, where children's individual needs are recognised, understood and supported. They work closely with families to gather information about children and identify where additional support or adjustments may be needed. Staff use their knowledge of children's interests, strengths and needs to help children access the full range of experiences available and reduce barriers to participation.
p.3
Inclusion Expected standard
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported to participate fully in the provision. Leaders understand the importance of working in partnership with families and using appropriate strategies to help children feel secure and included. Staff adapt activities and routines, where needed, enabling children to build relationships, develop independence and experience success alongside their peers.
p.3
Inclusion Expected standard
Leaders are committed to ensuring all children can access the opportunities available, including those who may face barriers due to their individual circumstances. Through funding such as the Holiday Activities and Food scheme, leaders provide children with access to the club alongside nutritious food and enriching experiences that they may not otherwise be able to access. This supports children's wellbeing, participation and sense of belonging within the wider club community.
p.3
Inclusion Expected standard
Leaders understand their responsibilities in supporting children, who may require additional care or support and have clear systems in place to work with families and relevant agencies where needed. They prioritise children's emotional wellbeing and recognise the importance of understanding each child as an individual. Staff generally know children well and provide support to help them feel valued and included.
p.3
Leadership and governance Expected standard
Leaders demonstrate a clear vision for the club, centred on providing children with safe, enjoyable and inclusive experiences, where they feel valued and supported. They have a secure understanding of their responsibilities and have established effective systems to support the smooth running of the provision. Leaders regularly reflect on the quality of the club and use feedback from children, parents and staff to identify areas for development.
p.4
Leadership and governance Expected standard
Leaders prioritise staff wellbeing and create a supportive team culture. Staff benefit from clear communication, regular team meetings and access to guidance and information to keep their knowledge and skills up to date. Leaders work closely together to provide support, share responsibilities and ensure staff feel valued in their roles.
p.4
Leadership and governance Expected standard
Professional development is valued. Staff have appropriate training and relevant expertise, including knowledge and skills linked to sports coaching, safeguarding and supporting children's individual needs. Leaders ensure staff understand their responsibilities and have access to policies, procedures and ongoing updates to support effective practice.
p.4
Leadership and governance Expected standard
Leaders build positive relationships with families and value their contributions. Parent feedback is actively gathered and used to reflect on provision. Established relationships with families help staff understand children's needs and support continuity of care. The club also provides wider opportunities for children and families through initiatives, such as the Holiday Activities and Food scheme, supporting access to enriching experiences and nutritious food.
p.4
Leadership and governance Expected standard
