Children enjoy taking part in art and craft activities. They practise their writing skills and show good pen control. Staff test out children's knowledge of different colours and initiate discussions about what children are drawing. They teach children that some people see colour differently and that this is called 'colour blind'. When making Father's Day cards, staff use this as an opportunity to talk to children about different family dynamics. Children develop their knowledge of people who are different to them, which broadens their understanding of the world.

11 June 2024 n Partnership working with parents is good. Parents are happy with the quality of care provided. They receive newsletters, emails and social media posts to keep them informed of what is happening at the club. Staff keep parents updated about children's day and pass on messages from school. However, the provider has not yet considered how she can collect more specific information from schools, to help complement and extend on children's learning at the club. n Children enjoy creative activities, such as making keyrings. They work together to figure out which side of the plastic absorbs the colour best and share their findings with their friends. Younger children are supported well by staff to use the scissors when cutting out their keyrings. Children are motivated to take part and keen to complete the activity before they go home. n Staff help children to learn about what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. They
