This provision meets requirements

The manager has a well-established staff team, and staff are passionate about their roles in the club and take time to get to know children very well. They plan activities and opportunities that ignite children's excitement and build on their learning from school. Children are collected from their classes and welcomed by the enthusiastic team. They quickly settle and follow routines well. As they sit down together for a snack, children talk openly with the staff about their day and how they are feeling. Staff support children's growing independence effectively. Children make their own wraps, selecting the filling they would like and using the knives to carefully spread butter. Children feel heard and valued by staff, which builds their self-esteem and confidence.

This provision meets requirements

Staff act as excellent role models and children understand the behaviour expectations of the club. Staff participate enthusiastically in children's games and play, offering praise and support where needed. Subsequently, children are respectful and polite, and their behaviour is good. Children enjoy taking part in adult-led activities, as well as choosing from a wide range of resources during free- play time. As a result of the positive interactions children receive and the carefully planned opportunities provided, children show sustained levels of focus during their time at the club.
