This provision meets requirements

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this exciting club. Staff provide children with a wide variety of interesting activities to choose from each day as part of a well- thought-out programme of experiences. They carefully consider how to make each session different to ensure that children who attend regularly remain active and engaged. For example, children delight as they practise building dens from branches in the outdoor area. They learn to take managed risks under the supervision of staff as they swing from ropes on trees. Staff ensure children can access a wide variety of quality resources to support both adult-led and free play. They listen to stories and carefully create masks on paper plates linked to the characters. Children are proud of their achievements and excitedly show their creations to staff and their friends.
