This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the club, keen to play with their friends. Staff escort children from the infant school safely. Children hold hands and walk sensibly. Staff know how many children they should be collecting and do regular head counts. On arrival at the club, children know the routines and hang up their coats and bags and go into the main hall. They enjoy being physically active with the older children, running around until they are out of breath. Staff recognise that children need to 'burn off' some energy before sitting down for their snack. Children understand staff expectations and they behave well. The older children are particularly caring towards the younger children. For example, they make sure the younger children are always safe when they are all running in the hall together.

n Children sit attentively and listen to staff instructions. They are quiet as the register is taken. They take turns to speak and listen respectfully to one another. Staff make sure they are aware of impending birthdays so that these can be celebrated with the club. n Children work collaboratively together and make up games to play. They take their shoes off and tip toe round the hall, hoping not to be heard in their game of 'Four corners'. They struggle to hide their excitement when the child who is blindfolded does not hear them. n Children are provided with a mix of snacks, such as toast, fruit and vegetables. Staff make sure that children's individual dietary needs are met. For example, staff know which children need a gluten-free diet. Children help themselves to what they want to eat and sit with friends and talk about their day. n Children thoroughly enjoy being active inside and outside. For example, they
