This provision meets requirements

As a result, children say they enjoy their time at the club and it provides them with activities they like to take part in.

This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy a paper aeroplane design and flight competition. There is much excitement and friendly competition as they help each other to design, modify and fly their planes. Children teach staff how to create a design that they think will fly well. Younger children ask older children if what they are doing is right and whether they can help them to make the correct folds in the paper. Children learn to manage their emotions as they discover that their planes do not fly as far as they would have hoped. Children show pride as they each receive a sticker from staff for 'a good job'.
