This provision meets requirements

Children have a wonderful time making their own soft toy, they choose from a variety of fillings and create their own shapes. Staff skilfully extend children's play as they encourage children to consider how they will join their pieces together. Children are extremely kind to each other. They welcome friends to join their activity of creating bracelets and rings and offer help to younger children.

This provision meets requirements

Children learn about the wider world through interesting and sometimes messy activities. For example, children learn about fossils and where they are found. Children create their own fossils using dinosaur models and clay. Children are aware of their own safety as they highlight any potential risks when using the clay and tools. This keeps children safe.

n Children always behave impeccably. They treat each other, the staff and the environment with great respect. For example, they consistently use good manners, know not to speak when they have food in their mouths and consistently tidy away what they have finished playing with. n Children's physical health is extremely well supported. Children have many opportunities to be active, including football in the playground or ball games. Children can relax and unwind with a wide range of books or quiet activities. This ensures children's physical and mental health are supported. n Staff support children to understand the importance of healthy lifestyles. Children all wash their hands after personal care routines and before eating. Staff provide a varied range of healthy foods and are aware of any dietary restrictions. Mealtimes are a social occasion, where staff sit with children and engage in meaningful discussions.

Highly effective arrangements ensure a two-way flow of information, which means that staff complement the knowledge children gain from school. Staff have a superb understanding of the needs of individual children and provide opportunities for them to complete homework or read with staff at the club.
