This provision meets requirements

Staff collect younger children from their classrooms and older children arrive happily. They are settled and show that they feel secure at the club. All children are greeted with a smile by the friendly staff. Children demonstrate very good behaviour and impeccable manners. For instance, they hold doors open for each other or say 'thank you' to the person holding the door. Children have plenty of opportunities to be physically active and burn off energy. They enjoy being outdoors in all weather. Children are asked what resources they would like outside. Some choose to take teddies outside and make zip lines using rope for them to go down.
