This provision meets requirements

Children are happy and settled at the club. They are warmly welcomed by the staff who take time to talk to them about their day and what they would like to do in the club. Children show they feel safe as they put away their belongings, then help to set out activities for the staff for their friends to enjoy. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour, and reward children for their kindness and consideration. All children behave well and are kind and understanding to each other. For example, older children encourage, welcome and include new and younger children in the games they play.

This provision meets requirements

Children are excited and eager to play in a small group. They have fun as they play games together, where they are heard giggling with anticipation as they watch to see if they can add more objects to the horse figure before it collapses. Children enjoy playing outside and take part in games that provide them with physical exercise and enjoyment. For instance, they enjoy make believe games as they hop on the stepping stones to avoid the sea creatures in the 'water'. While others enjoy team games together with staff, such as cricket, catch and football. Games, such as these, support the children's coordination and moving skills securely.

17 October 2022 the club. n Children enjoy a healthy light tea, which staff freshly prepare for them. Staff encourage children to make choices about what they would like to have and remind them the importance of staying hydrated. Children sit and eat together at the table, where they chatter socially with their friends. However, some staff do not consistently ensure all health and well-being procedures are met. For instance, some staff allow children to move around while eating and not all tables are washed prior to children eating at them, this poses some risk to children's health. n Staff manage children's behaviour well. For instance, they give praise and encouragement to children for helping which helps boost their self-confidence. Staff further reward positive behaviour with tickets for a chance to win a prize from the draw they undertake regularly. Children show respect to others and display good manners as they say 'please' and 'thank you' at appropriate times.
