They have a flexible approach which helps them to meet the individual and varied needs and abilities of all children that attend.

Children behave well. They are involved in setting the rules and boundaries for the club. They take responsibility for their own behaviour and learn to r...espect and value their peers.

Staff have high expectations of children and have a secure understanding of how to manage their behaviour effectively. The club is well-organised and staff provide a calm and supportive atmosphere. Children of a wide age range play harmoniously and offer each other help and support.
