This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the after-school club full of enthusiasm and eager to play with their friends. They quickly settle to their chosen activities. Younger children delight in joining in activities with older peers. For example, they work collaboratively to build models with construction kits. When children feel hungry or thirsty they independently help themselves to fruit and a drink of water. Staff are good role models and encourage children to be polite and respectful when they sit together at snack time. Children say please and thank you as food items are passed around the table. Children willingly offer to help one another. Children enjoy social interactions with one another and staff. They happily share their news and talk about their day at school and what they are going to do at the weekend.
