This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy attending the club where they have fun and make new friends. Their physical health and mental well-being are the focus of the club through a range of exciting activities. Children develop secure relationships, and the enthusiastic staff care for them well. This helps them to feel safe and secure. Children learn the importance of being physically active to support a healthy lifestyle. During an exercise session, they confidently do star jumps and practise squats. After rigorous exercises, children relax while staff take them through a gentle yoga session. They stretch out their bodies and focus on their breathing by putting their hand on their chest to feel their heartbeat. Children are keen to support others as they demonstrate safe ways of doing exercises. The environment is inclusive because staff are skilled at encouraging all children to join in, which supports their sense of belonging.

This provision meets requirements

Children feel respected by staff, who listen to and value their opinions. This creates a sense of appreciation. During the welcome session, children talk about the club rules which they have helped to create. Interesting discussions take place about how negative behaviour can impact on others. Children take turns to explain what the rules mean to them, such as why it is not safe to share food. Staff listen to children's views and use the opportunity to re-enforce key safety messages. As a result, children behave well within a harmonious environment.

15 February 2022 Parents feel that the staff are friendly and approachable. They particularly like how staff manage handovers to support children's safety and security. Leaders and managers use feedback from parents and children to support the evaluation process and consider how to improve the club in the future. n Children are keen to participate in creative activities such as drawing and mask making. They roar as they hold up animal masks and giggle as their friends copy them. However, staff do not prepare some creative activities well. For example, some resources, such as pens and glue sticks, have dried out. This can leave children disappointed as they are unable to complete their work to their satisfaction. n Staff support children to follow good hygiene practices, such as washing their hands prior to meals and snacks.
