This provision meets requirements

Staff want children to feel happy, safe and confident in the club. They give children the freedom to do things for themselves, which helps them to become more independent over time. Staff promote good behaviour and encourage children to be respectful towards one another. Children work together to discuss, agree and write the club rules, which staff display on the wall. This helps children to know and remember what is expected of them. Older children act as mentors to younger children. This provides them with reassurance and helps to promote strong friendships.
