Introduction

This inspection was carried out by Ofsted under Sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006 on the quality and standards of the registered early years provision. ‘Early years provision’ refers to provision regulated by Ofsted for children from birth to 31 August following their fifth birthday (the early years age group). The registered person must ensure that this provision complies with the statutory framework for children’s learning, development and welfare, known as the Early Years Foundation Stage.

There were no children on roll when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children on roll, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states if the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration. This inspection was carried out under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006

Just William Club was registered in August 2004. It operates from the William Levick Primary School in Dronfield Woodhouse. The club has access to a reception, a base room which includes the kitchen area, library, baking area and the main hall. There is a secure, outside play area. The after school club primarily serves the primary school. There were no Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) children on roll at the time of the inspection. Children attend from 3 years of age to 11 years of age. The club opens five days a week Monday to Friday. Term time sessions are from 07:45 to 09:00 and 15:00 to 18:00 and school holiday sessions are from 07:45 to 18:00. The three full-time and two part-time staff work with the children.

Overall effectiveness of the early years provision

There were no children of this age group on roll at the time of the inspection. However, the provider was able to demonstrate the suitability of the setting and staff for the intended care and education of children of this age group. As a result, the setting meets the various registration requirements. The provider was able to demonstrate knowledge of the documentation requirements and that the required policies and procedures are in place. The appropriate records are in place for when looking after children. All parts of the premises intended to be used for childcare are safe, secure and suitable for their purpose. Toys, play materials and equipment are of suitable design and condition, and help to provide a stimulating environment for children. A member of staff holding a current first aid certificate is on the premises at all times when children are present. Through documentation and discussion the provider is able to demonstrate a suitable understanding of the

EYFS and how children develop, in order to appropriately inform the provision for care and learning. Parents interviewed speak positively about the provision. Recommendations from the last inspection have been addressed fully. This is through the introduction of systems to ensure that parents sign to acknowledge entries in a medication record book. Regular risk assessments are carried out for the outdoor play area. Setting staff also work with the EYFS children in the school on a daily basis and undergo relevant and up-to-date training.
