This provision meets requirements

Staff provide a warm and caring environment for children who attend the club. They ensure children's safety is high priority. They create strategies to supervise and help children to learn how to keep themselves safe when travelling to the setting in the minibus. This creates a positive and safe space for children, who respond well to familiar routines. Children say they enjoy spending time at the club and develop good relationships with the staff. Staff are good role models and encourage children to be polite and behave well. Children listen attentively to instructions given by staff and they respond appropriately to the clear guidance.

This provision meets requirements

Staff assist children to make decisions about their play. Children happily share ideas with their friends, take turns and respect the views of others and are praised by staff when they do this. Staff support children to learn to cooperate with others of different ages and develop respect for them. Older children readily interact with younger children and offer to help them. Children have time to interact with their friends. This contributes to the development of their communication and social skills. Children are supported by staff to make choices about their snack and wash their own plates and cups when they have finished. Snack time is a social occasion where children show confidence in speaking and listening. They demonstrate this as they sit and talk about likes and dislikes, and the benefits to their health of the foods they eat. This supports children to build on their social skills and independence.
