They recognise the uniqueness of each child and provide high-quality interactions and experiences for children. Staff show a genuine interest in children's ideas and help them to extend their creativity and thinking extremely well. For example, children worked exceptionally well as a team, solved problems and showed great pride in completing alien models, selecting from an abundance of natural resources. Children are highly motivated, confident and eager to participate in the stimulating activities available.

Their relaxed and excellent behaviour shows that they feel extremely safe and secure at the club. November 2016 4 of 5
