Children are happy and they enjoy their time at the club. Children show a keen interest in a wide range of activities and they demonstrate good concentration during their play. Children learn to socialise and they form close friendships with older children. For example, they learn to take turns to use resources when playing together and they interact and learn new skills from each other.

Staff make good use of opportunities to make children aware of good hygiene practice, how to keep safe when using cooking utensils and the benefits of eating healthy food.
