This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the club and quickly settle into the routine after a day in school. They show a good sense of belonging as they arrive buzzing with excitement. Children know they need to begin the session by washing their hands so that they are ready for snack time. Children demonstrate good behaviour as they talk to their friends about the day they have had in school. They include everyone in their play. The older children demonstrate to the younger children how to kick a ball. Children benefit from a well-resourced indoor environment with a range of areas for children to relax, play and engage in. Children also have access to a large outdoor play environment, allowing them to develop their physical skills.
