This provision meets requirements

Children show that they are happy and settle quickly at the holiday club. Staff ensure that all children feel welcome from the start. They focus on supporting children to develop in confidence and to form new friendships. Children join in with a wide variety of fun activities, including sports, arts and crafts, yoga, free play and role play. Staff use these activities to enrich and broaden children's experiences. For instance, children delight in performing to an audience of their friends. One example of this is when they work as a group to create a 'snapshot', demonstrating what they have been doing in the holidays. Children listen carefully to each other's ideas and they work together cooperatively. Staff help to celebrate children's efforts and achievements, for example, with applause after performances.
