Children say that they enjoy coming to this club and that the staff are fun. They come in happily and know where to place their personal belongings. Staff greet them warmly and explain what activities are on offer. They also listen to children's requests and implement their ideas. For instance, children ask for specialised hoops to help them with target practise during ball games. These have been bought and are frequently used. As a result, children feel valued, which helps them to feel settled and secure. Children have many opportunities to be active and to play outdoors. They listen attentively to staff's instructions and quickly join in with the games, such as dodge ball.
