This provision meets requirements

Children are happy and settle quickly when they arrive at this friendly club. They develop strong friendships with other children they meet here and happily give them a hug. They have secure relationships with the adults at the club and chat with them about their day as they walk from the main school. Staff are very mindful of maximising the space they have in their club room. They ensure children get time to play outside even on wet or slightly snowy days. Children appreciate this and afterwards are relaxed and happy to join in the craft activities or watch a movie.

Children love the creative opportunities at the club. They spend considerable time at these, following their interests and trying out different materials and techniques. They construct models with construction bricks, colour and draw pictures. Staff gain children's views on activities and follow children's interests, providing exciting opportunities, such as a tee-shirt decorating competition. They also introduce interesting new materials into their craft activities. Children are eager to explore these and try out new skills, such as applying coloured foil to pictures, and marvel at the effects they create.
