This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy the time they spend at this friendly and welcoming club. They settle quickly as staff meet them at the entrance and lead them to the club base rooms. Staff urge children to be independent and make their own choices within the club. Children show positive attitudes towards their play and learning. They engage well with the variety of activities on offer. Children have opportunities to express their creativity and imagination. They use different material to build their own crafts or decorate their drawing. Staff make good use of the ample space available to set up physical activities. This helps children to be energetic, both indoors and outdoors. Children enjoy running, jumping and playing with cones and hula hoops.
