The varied range of activities ensures that children are challenged and enjoy what they do. Staff interact well with children so they are supported effectively as they play.

For example, they enjoy cooperating with each other as they make dens and invent imaginary scenarios to promote their creative skills. Children enjoy craft activities and painting. They confidently chat to staff and each other about what they are doing. Children enjoy challenging activities that promote their problem-solving skills.

which extends their skills in using tools. Staff encourage children to use mathematical knowledge throughout the activity to calculate how many pieces of fruit are needed.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop a strong sense of responsibility. They help to tidy the room after play sessions and are considerate and kind towards each other. They help to serve meals to one another and clear away afterwards. During mealtimes children sit and chat together, developing their confidence. They enjoy healthy meals and make their own snacks of sandwiches, pizzas and fruit kebabs during planned activities. They talk about which food is good for you during discussions with staff. This further promotes their understanding of a healthy lifestyle. Children enjoy regular outings to their local community during the holidays. For example, they go to local restaurants, the cinema and bowling. They have regular access to the outdoors. This gives them good opportunities to develop their physical skills. Children behave very well. Staff remind children of behavioural expectations and praise their good efforts. This helps children to be confident and well motivated.
