This provision meets requirements

Children are greeted warmly by staff when they are collected from their classrooms at the end of the school day. They are eager to go and find their friends. After their snack, children quickly become engaged in a range of different activities. The craft table is especially popular, as children create their own beach scenes using a variety of resources. Staff support younger children to use scissors and encourage them to try out different materials. Older children negotiate the rules as they take turns racing cars around a track. They help each other to make bracelets using elastic bands. Staff explain how they regularly change what they put out for the children, to ensure it reflects children's interests. The atmosphere within the club is calm and purposeful as children chat and play together.

1 July 2025 benefit from the opportunities available at the setting. n Although children generally know what is expected of them, the daily routine is not always consistent. For example, some children are not reminded to put their bags and coats away on arrival. They are not clear about handwashing arrangements.
