    Organisation

    The organisation is good. Children are cared for by a suitably qualified and experienced staff team who have undertaken Criminal Record Bureau checks and engage in regular training for their professional development. However, the systems for documenting and retaining evidence of adult suitability are insufficiently rigorous to ensure children's welfare is fully safeguarded.

    p.5

    Organisation

    Children benefit from the smooth running of the club, consistent adults and routines which help them to feel secure and settled. Staff work well together to underpin the effective operation of the club. Generous adult to child ratios support positive outcomes for children. Space and resources are organised effectively to promote children's enjoyment, achievement, independence and disposition. Staff effectively deploy themselves to support children's learning, health and safety. Children play in a safe and secure environment where they are relaxed, happy and engaged in meaningful activities.

    p.5

    Organisation

    The majority of documentation which contributes to children's safety, well-being and welfare is in place. These are well maintained, organised effectively and stored securely whilst being accessible. Overall, the provision meets the needs of the range of the children for whom it provides.

    Improvements since the last inspection

    The group have purchased additional resources, since the last inspection, many of which promote positive images of our diverse society. Some examples of these resources which positively portray disability include play people and their aids, such as wheelchairs, puzzles and books such as, 'Lucy's picture'. The play materials are helping to foster children's positive attitudes towards similarities and differences.
