This provision meets requirements

Children happily greet staff in the school hall. They settle quickly as they arrive at the out-of-school club, understanding the expectation to hang their belongings on a peg and to wash their hands before they eat. They interact positively with staff who are genuinely interested, responding to their questions, and talking about their day.

Children develop their creativity. For example, they design how best to create binoculars from cardboard tubes and reassess their designs when staples do not secure the string successfully. Children enjoy colouring and talk about their pictures, for example about the presents they received for Christmas. They make good attempts to write their names and store their creations carefully, ready to take home.

n Staff plan activities around children's interests and listen to their ideas. For example, children show interest in how the body works, therefore, staff provide opportunities for children to make their own lungs. Children decorate their paper bags and blow into them to demonstrate how the lungs fill with air. n Staff ensure children remain safe. There is good security to both the building and the playground. Staff conduct accurate risk assessments, for example, for the children to use the recently installed fire pole and rope swing under close supervision. Staff have good understanding of collection procedures from the school and ensure there is good communication with the class teachers regarding absences and attendance. Staff greet those adults collecting the children at the end of the session and ensure they are authorised to do so. n Children behave well and have good understanding of the 'fun agreement'. Staff
