This provision meets requirements

Staff warmly welcome the children as they collect them from their classrooms. Excitedly, children share stories of their day with staff and they receive praise for their achievements. The children transition safely from the school to the club. They walk safely, follow instructions and show they are familiar with the routine. Staff support children to keep themselves safe. For example, they follow rules about parts of the outdoor environment they can access and use equipment, such as scooters.

This provision meets requirements

The club is full of fun and laughter as the children play happily together. They play board games and chat happily as they draw imaginative pictures. They take turns and the older children 'buddy' up with the younger children. In the game, they offer advice on how to play and are nurturing towards them. This builds strong relationships and teaches children to respect each other. All staff have high expectations of children's behaviour, which is impeccable. The children are polite to adults, each other and have exceptional manners.

n Staff know children well. Younger children have a designated key person. This helps to ensure that every child's well-being, safety and interests are met. The strong relationships that staff build help to develop children's self-esteem and confidence. n Children help to create the setting rules and eagerly follow routines. Children sign in when they arrive and have a designated place to leave their coats and bags. They serve their own food, freely accessing snacks and tidying up afterwards. Children develop strong independence skills and a true sense of belonging. n Snack times are social occasions, where staff and children clearly enjoy each other's company. Children happily chat about their experiences at the setting and what they enjoy most. This helps children's personal and social development and supports them to build relationships with children and adults. n Staff help children to feel valued for their positive behaviour. For example,
