This provision meets requirements

The staff collect the younger children from their classrooms. They hold discussions with teachers to gain any information they might need. Consequently, children settle quickly and demonstrate they feel safe and secure at this busy club. They greet staff with a smile and are keen to talk about their school day. The staff organise the environment well and provide children with a variety of resources that follow their interests. Children are keen to engage in activities alongside their friends. For example, they are imaginative and delight in designing and creating their own Halloween bracelets and decorations. They take pleasure in sports activities and practise their throwing skills.
