This provision meets requirements

Staff escort children from their classrooms to the main school hall, where they are warmly welcomed by other staff. Children show how they feel secure and confident in this familiar environment as they settle quickly into activities and socialise with their friends. Staff encourage children to have a voice and they consult with them about their ideas for play at the club. They then incorporate children's wishes into their daily and weekly plans. For example, arts and craft activities are available due to children's requests. Children use paper, pens and scissors to make items for Halloween, which they proudly display on the board once complete. Staff interact well and children enjoy their company in their play.
