This provision is inadequate

 The provider has a poor understanding of the role and responsibilities of the committee. They have failed to provide Ofsted with information about committee members so that suitability checks can be carried out.  The provider has failed to notify Ofsted within the required timeframe that a new manager had been appointed.  Recruitment procedures are weak. The provider has not checked that staff have suitable Disclosure and Barring Service checks and has failed to keep records of vetting processes.  Staff do not manage the use of popular resources effectively and some of the resources are not appropriate for the age of children using them.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children have formed positive relationships with staff, which helps them to feel settled and secure.  Staff work with the school where children attend in order to complement the learning that takes place during the day. This helps to provide some continuity for children's learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The provider has a poor knowledge of her role and responsibilities. She has not notified Ofsted that there have been changes to the individuals who make up the committee. This means checks have not been carried out to assess their suitability. The provider has not notified Ofsted within the required timeframe that a new manager had been appointed. Recruitment procedures are inadequate. The provider has not checked that staff and committee members have suitable Disclosure and Barring Service checks in place. In addition records of identity checks and vetting processes are not kept. These significant weaknesses mean that children are not protected. In the main staff are confident about the key signs and symptoms of abuse and the procedure to follow should they have a concern. The new manager is beginning to monitor practice and can identify some of the strengths and weaknesses. She seeks the

views of parents and children and takes into account their suggestions when making changes.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Children can relax after school in this informal environment. They play games with their friends and access a range of resources, enabling them to make some independent choices. For example, they enjoy using craft materials to explore their creativity. However, some resources are popular and staff do not effectively help children to take turns. As a result, not all children have opportunities to use them. Staff communicate with teachers in school to complement children's learning. They provide resources that reflect topics children are studying in school and they help children with their homework.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

People in a position to influence decisions that affect children's safety and well-being have not had their suitability verified. This means children's welfare is compromised. Staff do not always check that resources, such as games used on interactive consoles, are age- appropriate. On occasions, this exposes children to media content that is not suitable for their age. However, parents are happy with the service the club provides and comment that staff are personable, positive and fun. Children learn to take managed risks as they play. For example, they assess whether outdoor equipment is safe to use in wet weather. Free access to a suitably equipped outdoor area enables children to enjoy fresh air and exercise. Children's understanding of healthy lifestyles is supported as they choose nutritious snacks and drink fresh water. Staff share information with parents about activities children have enjoyed while in the club. They make sure parents know about any
