This provision meets requirements

Children enter the setting happily and are eager to join in the fun. Children demonstrate a strong awareness of the daily routines as they quickly hang up their coats and belongings and rush off to play. Children benefit from warm, caring relationships with staff. Staff spend considerable amounts of time absorbed in discussion with children, asking them about their day in school and what they have been doing during the week. Children are very keen to tell the inspector all about their time at the club. They explain that they really enjoy attending as the staff are 'amazing'. They particularly enjoy games of chase around the soft-play equipment. This is evident by the squeals of laughter and delight.

Children are independent and freely make choices about where they would like to play. They are confident to put forward suggestions for different activities, such as purchasing a games console, which staff accommodate where possible. Younger children develop positive relationships with older children, who provide guidance and support to them. For example, younger children receive help with serving snack. This effectively supports children's confidence, self-esteem and helps to develop a strong sense of belonging.
