Badgers Playsafe Club

Inspection of Badgers Playsafe Club Woodfield Primary School, Stanley Park Road, Carshalton SM5 3HW

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children are happy and settled. They follow their own interests, choose the toys they want to play with and put them away after use. Children build good friendships as they play together. They learn to negotiate and take turns during play, for example while sharing pieces of construction sets and when playing board games or using art materials. Children have good relationships with staff, which helps them to feel safe and secure. For example, they go to staff if they need any support and tell staff if they are upset. Children show a good understanding of the club rules that help them stay safe. Younger children know to put their picture on the board before going to the toilet, and older children know to tell staff if they are going to play outside. Children are well behaved and follow the daily routines well.
