This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the club eager to find out what there is to play with. Staff provide resources and activities that they know children enjoy, such as marble runs and and crafts. Children very quickly settle to their chosen activity after cheerfully greeting the staff. Children understand the well-established club rules, for example they make sure staff know when they are leaving the room to go to the bathroom or the IT suite. Staff are warm, friendly and approachable to the children. They join in games with children and have fun with them, while still maintaining their expectations for how the children behave. When children need to be reminded about the expectations, staff do this in a kind but firm manner.

This provision meets requirements

Staff understand the different ways that children play and unwind after a day in school. They make sure that all children can be involved in the activities they provide. Staff are attentive to the children's individual needs. For example, when children are sitting quietly alone staff notice and check in on them, then, if they want to, sensitively help children to choose where to play. Staff prepare tasty snacks for the children that always include a wide range of fruit. Children thoroughly enjoy these and many have second helpings.

10 February 2025 They give the animals voices and negotiate who will do what next in their game. n The one adult-led activity at the club is a daily craft, which is extremely popular. Children use a wide range of skills to make their creations. Staff present the resources differently depending on the ability of each child. Staff demonstrate what to do, and advise older children, but allow children to do their own work. Children are proud of their achievements and show them to their parents as soon as they arrive. n Parents speak highly of the staff and value what the club offers their children. They are pleased with how well staff know the individual traits of their children, which helps the children to settle into the club well. n Children using computers in the school IT suite are well supervised. Staff make sure children only access the educational games they are allowed to use for their safety. The children talk to and help each other with hints and tips about
