This provision meets requirements

Children arrive with enthusiasm to the club. They settle very quickly to play with activities of their choice and fully absorb themselves in these. For example, they concentrate on completing jigsaws and making construction models. They have access to a large hall and an adjoining room, which is appropriate for their needs. On some days, the main hall is used by other users. On these occasions, the provider ensures that purposeful activities are organised in the adjoining room or outdoors. These include art and craft activities, yoga, gymnastics, dance and sport events. Children say that there is always plenty to do and that they have lots of fun. Staff are very vigilant of children, particularly when other adults are using the premises.

They use key words and sing songs in children's home languages. This helps them to feel a sense of belonging and develop their speaking skills. n Staff's interactions build on children's learning at school, such as supporting their understanding of mathematical language. For instance, children take part in cooking activities. They weigh ingredients, use calculation and delight in their achievements.
