This provision meets requirements

Children and parents are welcomed on arrival by friendly staff. Children settle quickly into the inviting and exciting environment that awaits them. They have a range of activities to choose from, such as mark making, collage, clay, construction and board games. Children comment, 'I like that I can choose what activity I do'. They freely explore the environment selecting different activities as they go. Children are kind to friends and enjoy playing board games together. For example, they enjoy playing 'Race to the Base'. They follow simple instructions and demonstrate their understanding of the game rules, as they excitedly roll the dice saying, 'I got a two again'.

This provision meets requirements

Activities provide children with new experiences and challenges. For example, older children enjoy sewing using fabric and needles, while younger children use guides to make their own puppets. Children demonstrate pride in their achievements as they show their finished product to visitors, then go off to put them in their bag to take home. Children enjoy using clay, showing good levels of concentration as they create teacups and rabbits. They socialise together as they safely cut up vegetables, and talk about what they like to eat. Children draw others into conversations and make comments, such as 'my favourite is broccoli' and 'look how many seeds are inside, like a thousand' when cutting open a pepper.

n Children independently butter their own toast during breakfast and wash their pots when they are finished. They are encouraged to achieve things for themselves, which supports a 'can do' attitude. For example, as children sew and say 'I can't', staff encourage them to have another go. n Staff encourage children to follow simple behaviour boundaries and offer gentle reminders of the club rules. For example, as children accidentally drop items on the floor, a staff member encourages them to pick them up, saying 'don't worry, I bet we can both pick them up together'. Staff explain rules to children before they play outdoor ball games. As a result, children understand expectations and behaviour is good. n Children enjoy learning about each other as they confidently share their family customs and cultures. They talk about their likes and dislikes of traditional food they have tried. They respectfully listen to each other and start to recognise
