Children also enjoy social times where they sit and chat to their friends about birthday party events. Staff promote children's imaginative play well. For example, they provide props, play figures and dressing-up clothes to enhance children's role-play experiences. Staff provide children with a wide range of activities which helps them to practise and extend their physical skills. Children enjoy daily opportunities to go outside. They enthusiastically engage in different sport activities, including football, skipping, hoops and riding scooters.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children receive valuable support when they start attending the club. The key person gathers information from parents about their child's individual needs. They arrange flexible settling-in periods with parents to help children feel comfortable and secure. Staff provide a cosy area in the room so that children can relax or rest quietly if they need to. Children eat varied and nutritious snacks, such as cheese toasties, bread sticks, carrots and raisins. They also enjoy taking part in cooking activities where they learn to make healthy choices when decorating their biscuits. For example, children select fresh strawberries, blackcurrant and grapes.
