Monitoring for provision judged as inadequate

An Ofsted inspector, Jayne Rooke, monitored your provision on 02/06/2014 following your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

As a result of our inspection on 11/04/2014, we sent you a notice to improve. The actions you were set are included at the end of this letter.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

During the monitoring visit the inspector discussed with you the steps you have taken to address the actions raised in the notice to improve. She looked at a range of planning documents and observed practice and activities indoors and outside. She spoke to children, staff and parents and held a telephone conversation with the Early Years Quality Support Consultant from the local authority. The inspector looked at your records, policies and procedures relating to maintaining ratios, first-aid and the recording of accidents and injuries.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

The inspector found that you have been proactive in developing a prompt and effective action plan to bring about the necessary improvements. You have made good use of the guidance and support from the Quality Support consultant, to improve practice and you continue to plan for on-going improvement. As a result, you now deploy sufficient staff to ensure that correct ratios are maintained. This means that children are appropriately supervised at all times. Staff training needs are now more clearly identified during staff discussion and reflective review, as part of the appraisal process. This ensures staff continue to attend courses to develop their professional practice. For example, staff have recently attended training to help them confidently support and manage conflict and behavioural issues. The manager and deputy manager have also attended specific 'after school club' training to help them plan more exciting and adventurous outdoor activities, such as den-building and

growing and planting projects. You now provide a wider range of resources and games for children to use during their outdoor play. As a result, children are now Our Reference EY219318

more involved in planning activities of specific interest to them, such as talent shows and art and craft workshops. Children are more fully engaged in activities outside, such as team and role-play games with footballs, construction toys, tents, dressing- up clothes, pretend cooking and the parachute. This helps them to socialise with others and express their creativity and imagination. In addition, children enjoy robust physical exercise, which promotes their healthy growth and development.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

You have made changes to improve children's safety and security indoors and outside, to ensure that unauthorised persons cannot gain access. Staff now keep a consistent record of all accidents or injuries, which occur on the premises and of any first aid treatment given, so that children's well-being is supported. You have re- organised the beginning of the session so that children can now enter the after school club rooms straight away. This means that children now gain prompt access to resources and play equipment, which provides them with varied and interesting things to do. In addition, children have better access to fresh drinking water so that their good health is promoted.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

Having considered all the evidence, the inspector is of the opinion that the setting has taken prompt and effective action to address the points for improvement.
