Leaders are highly reflective and dedicated to ensuring the club provides the best possible care for children. They explain how they work to create a fun, welcoming environment where children enjoy attending.

They demonstrate how activities and resources are adapted to meet the needs and interests of different age groups, particularly when younger children are present. Leaders describe the clear emphasis they place on promoting children's health and wellbeing. They ensure children benefit from fresh air daily and access to nutritious snacks. Leaders explain how they have recently updated the menu to integrate further well-balanced options. Staff have followed this through with children and further adaptations are planned as a result of their feedback.
