They are confident and enthusiastic and they move freely between activities indoors and those outside. Children revel in an exceptionally wide range of activities and free-play opportunities. For the youngest children, this complements their learning in nursery very effectively. They work very closely with parents, with the school and with outside agencies to provide the best possible support for these children. Staff provide excellent support for children who have special educational needs or disability and those who speak English as an additional language. They make available a wide range of additional information, such as support for victims of domestic violence. They provide parents with a wealth of information about their children's time at the club. Staff work very closely with parents to provide children with the best possible continuity of care. This helps to strengthen children's confidence and self-esteem even more effectively. Staff choose two children each day, one to be the special helper for health and safety and one to be identified as 'truly trusted'. They develop very close relationships with staff, including their key person.

Children have a wonderful time at the club. Staff have frequent opportunities to attend training in-house, externally or online to continue to enhance their superb support for children.

All involved are passionate about delivering exceptional out-of-school provision for the children in their care.
