This provision meets requirements

Staff are very welcoming, kind and caring in their approach. They keenly greet all children as they enthusiastically arrive from the nursery and school sites where the club is based. Key staff support the youngest children tremendously well, to help to support their emotional well-being as they settle. When children first arrive, they listen to, and keenly follow the club routines. Staff are good role models. They frequently praise children for their achievements, such as when they make beaded bracelets and build forts with construction pieces. Children have lots of fun at the club and consistently demonstrate very positive behaviour.

n Staff have high expectations for all children's behaviour and conduct, and they are very consistent in their approach. They organise the environment effectively to help to support children's emotional well-being. For example, staff provide a cosy area for all children to reflect on their emotions. They include a quiet area for the youngest children to have a rest and look at books. n Staff actively seek and value children's views, such as during circle time, to help to boost their confidence. For example, children excitedly raise their hands to express their wishes to play outdoors. n Staff plan many opportunities to promote children's physical exercise. Children have plenty of fresh air. For example, outdoors, children eagerly ride tricycles, jump from one stepping stone to another and they keenly build with large wooden blocks. Staff are very positive in their praise to boost children's self- esteem.
