This provision meets requirements

Children are extremely settled in the friendly and welcoming environment. Staff are exceptionally kind and have developed secure relationships with all children in the club. New children settle very quickly. Children are highly confident and independent. They select activities on their own and tell adults what they would like to do. Older children are kind and caring towards the younger ones, including those who are new to the club. They behave extremely well and have devised their own club rules, which are changed frequently when new children attend the setting. Children are listened to and their views and opinions are given high priority. For example, children are asked at registration what they would like to do and adults act on this.
