This provision meets requirements

Staff have a clear vision and ethos for the care they provide at the club. They focus on offering a relaxed, yet structured and well-organised environment. Staff know the children well and establish positive relationships from the start of their care. Younger children are greeted enthusiastically by staff as they arrive from their classroom. Children confidently talk about their day at school, and staff take time to actively listen. This allows children to engage in meaningful conversations about their experiences, both inside and outside the club. The strong and secure attachments between staff and children are evident. This attentiveness supports children's emotional well-being and promotes their confidence.

Children demonstrate positive behaviour. Staff act as positive role models, promoting and reinforcing the club's rules and their expectations for children's behaviour. As a result, children listen attentively, respond appropriately and follow guidance well. Older children foster meaningful friendships with their younger peers. For example, they often invite younger children to join in their play and offer encouragement and support, when needed.

n Children engage in highly energetic physical play outside. They create fun games, such as throwing bean bags into coloured hoops and counting how many points they tally, running races, and playing football. They embrace the opportunities that the large play space offers. In addition, the club provides children with a quiet area where children choose to sit away from the busy club. Children use this area to talk with friends or play a quiet game and it provides them with a small, cosy area to relax after school. Staff join children in their play and interactions and engagement are positive. Staff engage in activities to help to enthuse children to an even higher level. n There is a strong focus on encouraging children to be independent at the club. Staff involve children in decisions and welcome their suggestions and ideas. Children confidently select their own resources and set up activities and games.
