p.1

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

 Sufficient information to enable Ofsted to check the suitability of all committee members has not been provided. The provider has also not obtained Disclosure and Barring Service check information in a timely manner for new committee members after notifying Ofsted of changes.  A complete record of the Disclosure and Barring Service reference numbers, the dates the disclosures were obtained and who obtained them, is not maintained for all adults associated with the provision.  Systems for reflection on the provision are not robust in identifying areas for improvement.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children form strong attachments to staff, which promotes their emotional security. Staff also work in the host school and this helps to promote continuity through care practices for children's physical and emotional well-being.  Children have good opportunities to be independent. They use routines which promote their personal hygiene and serve themselves healthy snacks and drinks.  Staff provide a range of activities which broadly reflect children's interests and complement their learning in school. Staff share information with the host school and parents to help promote continuity in children's learning.

Inspection activities

 The inspector viewed the areas of the premises used by the setting.  The inspector observed the quality of staff practice during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's play and progress.  The inspector and the nominated person completed an evaluation of staff practice.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation related to the provision for children's welfare and activities, along with evidence of the suitability of those working on the premises and those who are on the committee.  The inspector and the nominated person discussed how the provider and staff reflect on the provision in order to bring about continuous improvement. The inspector spoke to staff as appropriate.  The inspector spoke to children, a member of senior staff from the host school and one parent during the inspection to gain their views about the setting.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The arrangements for safeguarding are ineffective. Over a year has elapsed since a change to the committee members and the necessary suitability checks have only recently been applied for. Although, the adults who have not been checked for suitability do not work directly with the children. As the necessary checks were not requested swiftly, the club has also not kept an accurate record of all the Disclosure and Barring Service reference numbers for the staff and committee. This demonstrates a lack of understanding of the need for robust safeguarding measures. There are a lack of effective systems for reflection on practice to drive future improvements at the setting. However, all previous actions have been addressed, showing that some improvements have been made to promote children's welfare. Staff demonstrate a secure understanding of the procedures for reporting safeguarding concerns about children. They have regular training for this and

other aspects of practice through the host school where they are also employed. This helps staff to build on the skills and knowledge gained through their qualifications so that children benefit. Regular supervision also supports staff in improving their practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy games which test their manipulative skills and their ability to think logically. Staff encourage children to think carefully about which brick to remove from a tower so that it does not fall down. They ask children questions which encourage them to think. They use numbers and model the use of describing words to increase children's vocabulary. Staff are vigilant about children who are not playing and support them to engage with activities. Children enjoy a variety of activities which help them to use their manipulative skills and creativity. They also engage in imaginative play with others using a range of resources. This contributes to children developing their cooperative skills, as well as their ability to think of a storyline. The club staff provide opportunities for children to develop a positive awareness of diversity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The failings in safeguarding have a negative impact on the contribution of the club to supporting children's welfare. Children demonstrate a secure understanding of routines to promote their good health. They wash their hands after they have been supervised to sign into the club and store their belongings. Children can make decisions about what to play with from the resources offered and ask for others if needed. They enjoy group games led by staff, learning to take turns and behave appropriately when others win. Staff remind children of the importance of letting others try activities for themselves, before help is offered. They praise children for their efforts and successes, contributing to their good self-esteem. Staff implement consistent boundaries which help children to learn to manage their feelings and behaviour. The introduction of a key-person system means that parents have a clear point of contact with staff to exchange information about their
