This provision meets requirements

Children thoroughly enjoy their time in the club. They are secure in the daily routine and settle quickly. Close friendships and good bonds with staff are apparent. Children seek time with staff to share how their day has been and share experiences they have had at home. Staff take a keen interest in what children have to say.

This provision meets requirements

Children's creativity is nurtured, and they enjoy using various materials, felt-tip pens, feathers and pipe cleaners to create fans, flags and their own collage pictures. They continue practising their skills using the scissors to cut out pictures they have coloured in and receive lots of praise and recognition for their achievements.

This provision meets requirements

Children relish their time outdoors. They access a wide expanse of the school grounds, where their imagination is ignited through resources and play opportunities. They take risks in a controlled environment and use open-ended resources to create different experiences. Children climb, balance and swing from rope to rope on large outdoor apparatus. They explore woodland areas filled with large mirrors and a bath, where they can dig, explore and hunt for bugs and insects. Resources support their enjoyment extremely well and the giggles and squeals of delight reflect the fun children are having.

n Children develop a good awareness of foods that are good for their bodies. Healthy food is provided in ample amounts and children understand the need to wash their hands before eating. They help themselves to meat, cheeses, bread and fresh fruit and vegetables, carefully using tweezers and cutlery to serve their foods. They remain hydrated with a variety of drinks and fresh drinking water is accessible in the outdoor play area too. n Behaviour is very good. Staff are very positive role models and speak gently to children, acknowledging their good behaviour. Older children support the younger children and groups of children of all ages play harmoniously. n Children make informed choices and choose where they wish to spend their time. They play games on tablets and a wide variety of books, construction play, and board games help them to unwind after a busy day. Staff involve themselves in their play without infringing on it and children seek their

Positive images of similarities and difference are displayed throughout the environment and through the resources. n Parents speak highly of the club and the staff and the great fun their children have when they are there.

Children are encouraged to share their ideas on a day-to-day basis also and speak positively about being in the club. Arts and craft and time spent outdoors are top of the list of what they enjoy. n Children's awareness of safety continues as they build their own wheeled equipment. Placing large bread baskets on wheeled trolleys, they push each other around outside, adding radios to the mix to listen to different music as they travel.

a controlled way and with direction. n Staff deal with children's care needs well. They deal with minor accidents sensitively and quickly and ensure parents fully understand what has happened. Parents are informed of head bumps and any first aid administered. n Staff at the club have formed relationships with outside agencies and a local company has created areas for children to dig and create pretend meals with mud, leaves and sticks using pans and various cutlery. Children's imagination is supported extremely well. They pretend to drive a large car, created by using spare car parts, seats, car doors and engine grills.

Effective steps are in place to ensure that children are not released into the care of unknown adults. Children learn about their own safety. They confidently explain the fire evacuation drill, which they practise regularly.
