This provision meets requirements

The importance of healthy lifestyles and well-being is embedded in all aspects of the provision. This is at the heart of what staff do and offer. During the holiday club children arrive with eagerness and are greeted by familiar and friendly staff. There is a selection of activities for children to engage in play with staff or peers, before having group time to speak through the rules and routine for the day. This gives children a consistent routine. Children are then grouped by age or activity. For example 'Strikers football club' go to their designated area, where staff interact with and engage the children.
