Staff provide a safe and secure environment and supervise children closely. Parents are kept well informed about their children's time spent at the club. The managers monitor children's development effectively.

Children are happy to express their thoughts and feelings as they take part in planning future activities. Children play creatively and make pictures using a range of materials.

they need for school. Staff praise children as they confidently organise their own belongings as they arrive at the club.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are caring and friendly and children build good bonds with them. This helps to promote children's confidence and overall well-being. Children of different ages develop friendships and enjoy playing together. They learn how to keep themselves safe as they follow the rules of holding hands with their peer as they are supervised crossing the road. Children help to devise the behaviour rules and these are displayed for children to see. They develop their social skills. Children form an orderly queue as they wait for their snack. Children are aware of the need to follow good hygiene routines, such as washing their hands as they arrive at the club and before they eat. Healthy and nutritious snacks are provided and children have daily opportunities to be physically active.
