This provision meets requirements

Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They ensure that they are clear about the rules in place, to help keep them safe at the club. For example, children understand why they must wear high-visibility jackets on the walk from school to the club. They follow the club's routines and behave well. Staff provide a range of fun activities, which complement children's learning at school. For example, staff plan a jewellery making activity, where children thread beads and use scissors.
