This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the end of the school day after being collected from their classroom. They are warmly greeted by staff as they walk safely to the on-site club. Staff talk to teachers from the school to gain important information about the children's day. They use this information to plan activities for the children that will support their development and learning. For example, staff learn that children have been practising to write their name. They make a variety of resources available to children to enable them to make marks and continue to practise writing their name. Children are excited to talk to staff about their day at school and the achievements they have made. For example, they show rewards they have received for helping to tidying up.

Children are also able to choose from a wide range of resources independently to develop their own play. There are opportunities for children to complete quiet activities, such as reading or building with construction kits. If they prefer, they can access the outside to develop their physical skills, playing ball games. Children of all ages are well behaved and considerate of each other. Children speak to new adults with confidence and are keen to explain why they enjoy attending the club and their favourite activities.

n The staff know the children well, and the key-person system is effective. They work closely with teachers from the school and are very knowledgeable about the children attending. Staff meet the children's needs effectively as they plan activities for children based closely on what they like to do. For example, staff set up areas for children to be imaginative, such as a table full of craft resources for children to create their own flowers. n Staff join in with children's play and praise them for their skills and individual abilities and achievements. They adapt the support they offer and the expectations they have of individual children, depending on each child's stage of development. For example, staff help children learn to control scissors by changing the type of scissors children are using. n Staff recognise that some young children need to rest and unwind after a long day at school. There is a tent for younger children to sit in with staff and read a
