p.1

This provision requires improvement. It is not yet good because:

 The provider does not ensure that at least one member of staff with a current paediatric first aid certificate is present at all sessions. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register requirements. In addition, the provider does not take into account the number of children and layout of the premises to ensure that a paediatric first aider is able to respond to emergencies quickly.  The provider does not always ensure that staff organise space well and support younger children effectively at snack time to meet their needs. For example, there is not enough room for all children to sit and eat together and for staff to interact with them to progress their communication, social and independent skills.  The provider does not use self-evaluation robustly to help identify weaknesses and tackle them promptly to improve children's experiences and staff's skills.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 There is sound partnership working with parents and strong links with the school to promote a consistent approach to children's care and development.  The welcoming environment and friendly staff help children gain a good sense of belonging and build strong attachments. Staff value children's ideas and encourage their feedback on activities.  Children show sustained interest in their chosen activities.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed staff's interactions with children as they played indoors and outdoors.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the provider.  The inspector spoke with children, parents, staff and the provider at convenient times during the inspection.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation including policies and procedures.  The inspector spoke with the provider about self-evaluation, recruitment and safeguarding arrangements.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Overall, safeguarding is effective. However, the provider has failed to ensure that there is a paediatric first aider present at each session, particularly the breakfast club. In addition, the provider has not considered children's use of the outdoor environment to ensure that when the first aider is present, they are able to respond promptly to emergencies to safeguard children. The provider and staff have a strong knowledge of their responsibility to report any child protection concerns. The premises are secure and clean. Children understand that they do not open the gate to let visitors in without an adult present. Staff are aware of who may collect children and they supervise children at all times to ensure their well-being. The provider follows appropriate vetting and induction arrangements for all staff to ensure their suitability. The provider monitors staff's skills appropriately overall, noting the quality of their interactions and identifying possible training needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff use their training and knowledge of children appropriately to provide a range of experiences that complement their interests and developing skills in school. The key person talks regularly with the class teacher to provide a consistent approach to children's welfare and development. Children are confident to make choices from varied resources and experiences. They show pride in their achievements; for example, following instructions accurately to build the toy garage and place stickers on independently. Children enjoy the quiet time when they can be creative. They happily talk to each other about their mask designs and staff interact well to offer encouragement and talk about their experiences. Staff do not always use the indoor space well when all children come inside for snack or when it gets too dark to play outdoors, which restricts children's ability to engage with others and extend their skills further.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The provider and staff do not evaluate the use of space effectively to ensure there is suitable seating for children to eat their snack. This limits staff's ability to interact effectively to encourage children's communication, independent and social skills. Children learn about healthy lifestyles. There are plenty of opportunities for them to play outside, for example, in team games. Staff encourage children to negotiate rules during ball games and ensure that all children are included as they develop accurate aiming skills. Children learn how to keep themselves safe. Staff provide clear explanations of possible consequences, which helps children to adapt their behaviour and understand safe practices when playing football, for example. Children learn about healthy practices, such as washing their hands before they eat.
