This provision meets requirements

Staff are very organised and committed to their roles. They ensure children are safe, reassured and feel comfortable and confident in the club. Staff ensure children have time to unwind, relax and be with their friends. The routine that is in place caters to the interests of children. They understand what is expected of them and what is going to happen next. Staff consider children's ideas and suggestions when planning activities to provide. As a result, children eagerly join in a wide range of interesting activities, some of which are designed to complement their learning in school. For example, children join in a selection of art and craft activities. Younger children are encouraged to write their names on their piece of work so they are easily identified.

This all helps to build their stamina. n Staff use a range of ways to improve children's awareness and understanding of different people in the world. For example, they celebrate a range of festivals from different cultures, such as Diwali. This assists children to respect the values and views of others. n There is an effective key-person system in place for Reception-age children to help them settle and feel safe.
