Children sit together for a snack and share their news from the day. They are excited to share their experiences in the school's Christmas performance, and sing the songs with their friends.

n Before children start at the club, staff find out about their likes and dislikes from their parents and the host school. Children visit with their parents for a taster session to meet the staff. When children start at the club, they settle quickly as they are already familiar with the staff and routines. n Children have a good understanding of the club's rules and boundaries. Staff give the children polite reminders of the club rules, such as sitting nicely on chairs. This helps children who are new to the club become familiar with behavioural expectations. Children understand that the club rules are in place to keep everyone safe. For example, they explain, 'We tell an adult when we go to the toilet, so they know where we are.' n Staff support children to learn the importance of being healthy and of following good hygiene routines. They encourage children to wash their hands regularly, and provide a range of healthy snacks for children to enjoy.
