This provision meets requirements

Children at this club are happy and settled. They know the routine well and move from one activity to another with minimal instruction. For example, children know to wash hands and line up when it is time to come in from playing outdoors and have dinner. Children report dinner to be a highlight of their time at the club. Children appreciate the delicious, home-cooked food, which they eat hungrily. They chatter in friendship groups as they eat, then know to clear away afterwards. This helps with children's social development, as well as learning respect for their environment.
