This provision meets requirements

Children enter the club happily and choose from a broad range of activities. They are confident to select their own resources independently from a well-stocked cupboard. Some children enjoy a quieter activity after school, such as making badges. Children take time to design their badges. They are confident to talk to the inspector about the shapes and colours they are using and to explain that 'N is for ninja' and holds special powers. Children wait patiently for their turn to use the press. Staff encourage independence and support children to have a go at using the press. Children show pride in their achievements. They are keen to wear their badges and show their friends and staff.
