Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders have created a positive and supportive holiday club, where they strive for children's welfare and safeguarding to be at the heart of everything they do. They have a clear understanding of what the holiday club does well and where improvements are still needed. They regularly reflect on practice and take action when they identify areas for development. Leaders have established clear expectations for staff and make sure that they understand their responsibilities.

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Staff speak positively about the support they receive from leaders. They value having an approachable leadership team and feel able to raise questions or concerns when needed. Leaders provide staff with appropriate guidance and regular training to help them understand their responsibilities. For example, staff attend pre-camp training, where leaders discuss the specific arrangements and logistics for each holiday club. Staff also receive a detailed induction and are monitored closely to make sure they understand the expectations of their role. Leaders work alongside staff and provide support to help them develop their practice. They have effective arrangements for monitoring staff suitability, safeguarding, risk assessment, attendance, collection arrangements and the administration of medication. They understand their responsibilities and take action, when they identify any concerns.

p.1

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders regularly review the organisation of the holiday club and consider how well arrangements work in practice. They recognise the importance of effective staff deployment, clear oversight and consistent practice, so that children receive safe and positive experiences throughout their time at the club. For example, where possible, camp directors are permanent staff who also work as teachers at another branch of the company. This means they know the sites well and, in many cases, have experience of running the holiday club during previous holiday periods. This supports continuity and helps leaders maintain consistent expectations across the provision.

About this inspection

We carried out this inspection under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006 on the quality and standards of provision that is registered on the Early Years Register. The registered person must ensure that this provision complies with the statutory framework for children's learning, development and care, known as the early years foundation stage.

About this inspection

There were no early years children present and/or on roll at the time of this inspection. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with leaders and an inspection of the premises, equipment and any relevant documentation. When there are no early years children present, inspectors evaluate and grade only leadership and governance, as there is no reliable evidence from other evaluation areas through which to assess the impact on children.
