This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the club hall with their class teachers. They are cheerfully greeted by staff on arrival. Children are keen to find out what they will be doing in the session. Younger children are allocated a key person, who is responsible for their care and well-being. This helps provide children with familiar faces and offers them consistency.

This provision meets requirements

Children have fun and enjoy a range of activities planned for them, both indoors and outside. For example, some children join in with drawing activities, other children choose to partake in physical activities outside. Children thoroughly enjoy a game of 'crack the code'. They use cones to generate secret paths for others to guess the sequence. This helps children to develop logical thinking and problem- solving skills.

n Staff have formed good partnerships with the host school. The school shares key information to ensure that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, have the same access to the club. This helps to ensure that staff know how to support children's individual needs and promotes continuity of care. n Staff create a calm and relaxed environment for children after a busy day at school. They plan and provide different activities, such as puzzles, games and arts and crafts, to meet children's interests. Children spend extensive amounts of time making flags from around the world and explaining to adults where some of their families live. Other children enjoy some quiet time as familiar staff read their chosen stories. n Children enjoy making their own food. They make independent choices about the foods they would like to make and eat. Children use these times to talk to
