This provision meets requirements

Staff collect children from their school and drop them off at the setting. On arrival, children are warmly greeted by staff before they hang their bags up and sit down to have a snack. Staff encourage children, who have been attending the setting for some time, to help children who are new to the setting, settle in. Children access a variety of games and play well together. They independently take turns and remind each other of the rules of the games they play. For example, children know when playing a game of pool, if they pot certain balls they can have two shots and other times they can only have one. Staff support children's physical development well. They show younger children how to hold a pool cue and practise hitting the pool balls.
