This provision meets requirements

Children happily come to the club and enjoy a relaxed snack with a variety of healthy foods to choose from. They sit with their friends and club staff members, chatting about their day and the wide choice of activities they can choose from. Younger children return to their club room. They can choose from a variety of craft, construction and table top toys, as well as free choice of outdoor pursuits. For example, children learn to tend the garden. They are shown the difference between weeds and plants as they prepare the ground for new planting. They discuss what plants and seeds need in order to grow successfully and can identify parts of a plant, such as roots, shoots and stems. Children support each other as they independently source water from the hose and fill each other's watering cans.
