She said that there are a range of activities, including baking that helps the children with skills such as counting and weighing ingredients.

The children are encouraged to do physical exercise as well as to eat healthily and follow good hygiene practices like washing hands.

They are encouraged to allow others to take turns and to work as a team which leads to learning how to behave well.

The inspector said that parents are happy and would recommend the club to others.

There are 21 staff, with six of them being qualified teachers.

Important details like dietary needs and medical conditions are recorded and the inspector found that this could be built upon by asking about the current interests and dislikes of the children.
