This means some children need to wait for their food and they become a little restless. n Staff are good role models and encourage children to help each other. One example of this is when alongside staff, children design and make their own games. Children use recycled materials and together they find the different tools and resources they need. Children listen and respond positively to adults and each other. They communicate that they feel happy and enjoy their time at the club. n The leadership team deploy staff highly effectively. Staff use strategies, such as walkie talkies to ensure all children receive the support they need. The constructive team working means that staff can safely chaperon children to the washrooms and between the inside and outdoor environments, while other staff engage in children's play.
