This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at this club happy and wait patiently as other children are collected from the linked school. They engage well in a range of activities that are planned around a topic of the week. Children sit down as they enter and talk about the senses they are going to use today. Later, they use their eyes, ears and nose to search the outdoor area, finding ladybirds on the trees. Children use their fine motor skills to write and mark off what they have seen. They talk to each other about what senses they have used and what body part is linked to the different senses.
