This provision meets requirements

Children arrive happy and eager to attend the after-school club. They are greeted by friendly and kind staff who know them extremely well. Children chatter happily to their friends and staff with whom they have built good relationships. They comment that they 'love' attending the club and staff are always keen to listen to their ideas. This helps them to feel valued and develops a sense of belonging. Children enjoy a wide array of activities that staff have carefully planned for them. Activities are age-appropriate and based on their interests. For example, children spend long periods of time using construction bricks to create intricate models. Activities such as these help to develop their good coordination and control over their fine motor movements.
