This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the club eager to join in with the activities. They confidently and excitedly chat to staff, sharing their news of the day. Staff listen intently to what children are saying and help them feel valued. Staff are effective role models and have high expectations for all children. This helps children to be kind and caring towards each other. Children demonstrate good levels of independence. They choose their own activities and tidy up when they have finished. Everywhere you look, the children are remarkably engaged in the activities and toys on offer. Their energy and pleasure fill the air. Children benefit from a good range of resources the staff set up. They focus intently on games of cards asking, 'whose turn it is next?' and they make crowns for their soft toys.

n The provider and staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. His vision is to provide a club where children can 'have fun and feel safe with their friends'. Children share, take turns, play cooperatively and use positive language with each other. They demonstrate excellent manners. For example, they say 'excuse me' when they want to get past. Older children are considerate and kind to younger children. They include them with their conversations and support them in their play. For example, when younger children want to make a glove shape out of dough, older children suggest cutting the dough around their hands. n Staff carefully consider children's views and interests when providing resources and planning activities. For example, children share what their friends have added to the club's 'suggestion box', such as wanting a pet for club.
