This provision meets requirements

Children arrive happy and eager to start their time at the club. They have formed strong bonds with staff and they happily lean in for a cuddle and chat throughout the afternoon. Children respond positively to the high expectations staff have for their behaviour. They know the rules well and their behaviour is excellent. For example, children of all ages know to hang their coats up and sign in when they arrive. They demonstrate kindness to each other, staff and visitors. For instance, they introduce themselves to the inspector, offering big smiles and making her feel very welcome.

This provision meets requirements

Children are highly independent. They enjoy making their own choices and leading their own play. For example, children enjoy using their imagination in the role-play area. They become 'dentists' and check the inspector's teeth, asking her 'which tooth hurts?' Children have countless opportunities to be involved in the planning of activities and experiences available to them. For example, they are invited to be part of the club council. This provides children with the chance to share ideas and make suggestions about what they would like to do during their time at the club.
