This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy their time at the club and take part in a wide range of fun activities. Staff plan exciting experiences that help children learn new physical skills, be creative and develop their imagination. Staff are sensitive to the needs of the younger children as they offer close support and give them lots of encouragement. Children love drawing, using scissors and joining in with role play. They pretend to be doctors and chat with staff about their own experiences. Staff join in enthusiastically and help children learn new vocabulary, such as 'temperature' and 'thermometer'.

This provision meets requirements

Children have many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and develop their physical skills. They navigate space well as they play tag, where they demonstrate good coordination. Children learn new skills, such as riding go-karts. This is safely managed as staff take time to explain to children how to safely operate the go- karts and allow children time to practise so that they build up their confidence. Children learn to take turns and show respect and kindness towards each other. Staff engage children in meaningful conversations and help children to understand the routines so they know what to expect.

During the welcome session, they explain the club expectations, such as lunchtime rules and what to do if there is a fire alarm. Children understand staff expectations, such as when staff clap their hands, they need to stop and listen to what will be happening next.
