Children very much enjoy their time at this well-organised and welcoming club. They receive caring and attentive support from staff, who know children's needs and interests very well. Children have good relationships with all the staff at the club. For example, children enjoy playing 'rock, paper, scissors' with staff, laughing and smiling as they do. Staff are highly responsive to children's needs and show genuine interest in what they have to say. This creates a warm, respectful and fun atmosphere, felt throughout the club. Children of all ages become deeply absorbed, exploring a variety of exciting activities and resources. For example, children proudly show the inspector the rockets they have created with staff.
