This provision meets requirements

Children make independent choices when at the club and children demonstrate that they know the routines. They quickly engage in activities, such as art and drawing. They are encouraged to use their imaginations and be creative. For example, children spend time drawing and colouring as they take part in a 'still life' activity. During this, children observe and draw a bowl of fruit and demonstrate that they are keen to build on their literacy skills. Children talk about healthy food and learn the names of fruits, such as tangerines and kiwis. Children eagerly show visitors their drawings and are proud of their achievements. Children are encouraged to use the toilets and wash their hands without the support of staff. This promotes children's confidence and supports them to become independent.
