What is it like to attend this early years setting?

This provision meets requirements Children attend this club after the school day has finished and are welcomed by staff who are friendly and familiar.

Children are pleased to see their friends and are able to choose from a wide range of activities and experiences. For example, some children choose to play with a soft ball, while others enjoy spending time building and constructing with straws and small building bricks. This allows children to spend time with their friends in an environment that is relaxed after a busy day at school.

Children understand the behaviour expectations of the club and respond well to staff. For example, if staff need to gently re...mind them to keep a ball away from the quieter activities on the table, children acknowledge this and continue to play at the other end of the large hall.Staff praise children appropriately and children respond well to this.

For example, if a child takes turns during a card game or shares a tabletop game with a friend, staff notice and acknowledge this with the child. This supports children's social development and gives them a sense of pride.
