Friendly staff greet children as they arrive at the club. Staff ask the children about their day, and value them as individuals. Children know this is a time when they can relax and socialise with their friends. The welcoming atmosphere helps children to feel safe, and they have a sense of belonging. Staff effectively support the youngest children on arrival, which helps them to settle quickly. They give them a choice of what they would like to do and set up a range of activities with the children's help. The staff know the children well and meet their needs effectively.

This provision meets requirements

Staff consider the children's opinions and thoughts when they plan a range of activities that are centred around their interests. For instance, children express a particular game that they would like to play while being at the club. The staff incorporate this into the routine and sit and play the game with them. The staff explain the rules of the game to ensure all children understand the concept. Children are polite to each other, and staff encourage them to be patient as they wait for their turn. This is an enjoyable time for them and the staff embrace the children's anticipation of the end result. Children are kind and considerate to each other. The staff recognise their achievements and generously praise them. This makes children feel valued and promotes positive behaviour.
