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.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Children consistently demonstrate positive behaviour and attitudes throughout their time at the holiday club. Staff establish clear expectations and routines. This helps children to feel safe, secure and confident as they move between activities, group experiences and mealtimes. For example, staff bring children together for a daily induction, helping them to recall the club rules and share these with their peers. Staff support children's behaviour in an age-appropriate way that motivates their positive behaviour. For example, children proudly explain that they receive points for demonstrating kindness and positive behaviour. As a result, children play cooperatively, take turns and treat one another with kindness and respect.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Children show kindness towards one another. They support their peers during games and celebrate each other's achievements. Children feel comfortable seeking help, asking questions and sharing their thoughts. Staff respond sensitively when children feel unsure, offering reassurance or alternative roles. They enjoy opportunities to work in teams, solve problems and build knowledge through quizzes and discussions. Staff know children well and use reassurance to promote all children's emotional wellbeing. Staff respond promptly to children's individual needs and adapt activities to meet them. For example, during sports sessions, staff recognise when certain exercises may be difficult for some children and adjust them so everyone can take part successfully. This helps children remain engaged and participate with growing confidence.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Leaders promote regular attendance and maintain an open register so they can respond promptly to children's and families' needs. They follow up on absences promptly. As a result, all children feel safe, valued and happy to return to the holiday club.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Leaders and staff are knowledgeable about supporting children's welfare and wellbeing. Leaders and staff have suitable policies and procedures in place, which underpin practice and promote children's welfare. The friendly, caring staff and the welcoming environment help children to feel happy and settled. Staff recognise children's different ages and understand the importance of providing activities that follow and reflect their interests. As a result, children feel excited about coming to the holiday club.

p.3

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Leaders and staff promote physical wellbeing effectively through high levels of activity. Children take part in athletics, ball games and archery, indoors and outdoors. They build a secure understanding of keeping active and the importance of staying hydrated during exercise. In general, snack times are sociable, with children chatting happily with friends and staff as they eat. Hygiene routines are well embedded. For example, children wash their hands before snack and staff reinforce why this is important. Staff use these routines to discuss food choices and encourage children to think about healthy options. However, leaders do not consistently promote these messages with parents and carers. As a result, some children occasionally bring snacks that do not support the club's healthy-eating approach. This limits the consistency of messages about healthy lifestyles over time.

p.3

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Outdoors, children are typically engaged in their play. Staff are enthusiastic and engage all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. For example, they explain rules carefully and children get plenty of time to practise to ensure they understand how to play each game. Children giggle with delight as they jump and run around the playground.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

Leaders have established effective systems to identify, assess and meet the needs of all children, including those who are disadvantaged. Staff recognise that every child is unique and develops at their own pace. They offer alternative roles to children when they feel nervous about a game. This supports them so they remain involved. Leaders and staff work closely with parents and carers to ensure they share a clear understanding of children's needs and maintain expectations across the club. However, these inclusive strategies are not always extended or embedded so that practice is applied consistently across the club.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

Leaders generally help staff to identify emerging needs and provide guidance on adapting the provision. Staff make thoughtful adjustments to activities and routines so all children can participate successfully. For example, they modify sports rules or allow two-footed jumps instead of one to help younger children access physical games confidently. Activities are planned to reflect children's interests, abilities and stages of development, and the environment is organised to accommodate a wide range of needs. Staff maintain communication with parents, sharing observations and discussing approaches that work well to ensure coordinated support between home and the club.

p.3

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders provide effective oversight of the club. They ensure staff understand their responsibilities to keep children safe at all times. Staff benefit from regular supervision sessions and access to professional development opportunities. This helps them feel valued and supported. Leaders are mindful of staff's wellbeing and workload. Staff report that they enjoy working at the club and feel confident in their roles.

p.4

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders demonstrate a clear commitment to ongoing improvement. They identify strengths and areas for development through self evaluation and use this to refine practice. For example, they are reviewing strategies to support behaviour during transitions. As a result, children receive guidance about what is expected of them. Leaders also recognise the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles. However, monitoring of health practices, such as encouraging healthy snack choices, is not yet consistent.

p.4

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders ensure the club meets statutory requirements. Staff complete all mandatory training, including safeguarding and paediatric first aid. Leaders understand the importance of professional development. They plan opportunities to promote staff's ability to meet children's ongoing needs, including those who are disadvantaged or face barriers to engagement or wellbeing. Leaders should continue to support staff to extend inclusive strategies to ensure these approaches are applied consistently for all children.

p.4

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders are committed to ensuring all children can access the provision. They gather detailed information from parents and carers when they start. They put emphasis on partnerships with families to ensure they remain informed and involved in their children's experiences. Parents express that their children are happy and enjoy their time at this holiday club.

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

Children experience a warm, welcoming and enjoyable environment. As children arrive, staff greet and encourage them to join in with their friends in the hall. Morning circle time provides children with a calm and structured start to their day. Children confidently share their age, favourite colour and the games they would like to play. Staff model the process and gently encourage all children to take part, including those who may face barriers to engagement or wellbeing. Children listen to one another respectfully and show growing confidence when speaking in front of the group. This positive routine helps children feel valued, settle quickly and begin their day feeling relaxed, secure and ready to engage in learning.

p.5

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

In general, children benefit from a wide range of activities that promote enjoyment, teamwork and physical development. They take part enthusiastically in athletics, games, quizzes and outdoor sports. Staff explain rules clearly, ensuring all children understand how to join in. Children respond with excitement, energy and sustained interest. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are supported very well by staff, who adapt interactions and routines to meet the needs of each child. As a result, children are emotionally secure and confident within the club environment.

p.5

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

Children thrive at the club. The clear boundaries and routines support children's emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Children behave extremely well, promote the club rules and describe the club as fun, with lots of games. They play cooperatively alongside one another, share ideas and show pride in their achievements. For example, children are organised into coloured teams and earn points for positive behaviours, such as helping others, being polite and showing kindness. Children's attendance is carefully monitored. Absences are followed up promptly if children, who are expected, do not arrive at the club. Parents and carers speak positively about the club, describing it as safe, friendly and welcoming.
