This provision meets requirements

Children attend this club after the school day has finished and are welcomed by staff who are friendly and familiar. Children are pleased to see their friends and are able to choose from a wide range of activities and experiences. For example, some children choose to play with a soft ball, while others enjoy spending time building and constructing with straws and small building bricks. This allows children to spend time with their friends in an environment that is relaxed after a busy day at school.
