This provision meets requirements

Children build beneficial relationships with staff and this helps them to feel settled and happy at the club. They enjoy the staff's company and seek them out to share things with them or to join them in a game. Staff ensure children's medical and care needs are suitably met, that they are comfortable, and that children's well- being remains high. For example, they check if children are warm enough outside and get them blankets to kneel on as they make intricate chalk drawings on the paving. Staff spend time with children, chatting with them and offering them reassurance if they are upset or need any help.
