Staff talk to children in ways that capture their interest, such as during a conversation about different types of fruit. The manager and other staff make good use of children's interests to help them provide relevant activities and resources. Children enjoy their time at the club and have a wide range of opportunities to explore, challenge and develop their existing skills. For example, staff engaged children in a reading activity that helped to consolidate and extend their understanding of shape, number and colour. Children practise different physical movements and methods of moving. They enjoy using the gymnasium equipment safely and with control. They concentrate and enjoy the range of play activities that staff provide.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident, highly motivated, independent, and happy. They are pleased to attend the club after school. Staff are always attentive and supervise children effectively. They offer children a wide range of opportunities to make independent choices and lead their play. Children behave well and have good relationships with other children and staff. Older children show respect and consideration towards younger children and include them in their games and activities. For example, children invite others to join in with their football and bouncing games in the gymnasium area. Staff provide children with opportunities to help them develop an awareness of the importance of leading healthy lifestyles. For example, they ensure that children understand why they need to wash their hands and provide them with healthy snacks.
