This provision meets requirements

The provider and manager are strongly committed to providing equality of access to the service, including for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff are highly attentive to children and cater for their individual needs well. They regularly talk to parents to check that children enjoy their time at the club. Staff also liaise with teachers to ensure that the activities they provide complement what children are learning at school. This provides good continuity and helps children feel happy and safe at the club. Children are motivated to learn and concentrate well during activities. For example, they carefully cut around shapes and used these to create pictures to decorate Christmas cards.
