They enjoy a range of healthy snacks and drinks after they come into the club from their day in school. There are plenty of opportunities for children to develop their physical skills. Children enjoy their play outdoors in the school playground and have a good range of play equipment to choose from. There are also ample opportunities for children to run and exercise in the school hall when the weather is poor. Staff encourage children to share and understand their feelings. They are always close by if children need a helping hand or encouragement and reassurance. Staff give lots of praise and encouragement to children, which builds their confidence and self-esteem and helps them to develop a positive attitude to learning.
