As part of our ongoing commitment to providing quality
childcare it has become necessary for us to take pictures of activities at the
club that will include children.
We need to demonstrate and provide evidence to outside agencies
such as Ofsted and future parents and children of the club of the work we do at
the club and that standards are being met
