p.1

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

 Registers of children's attendance are not consistently maintained.  Not all staff give the same level of attention to helping children learn to respect and care for their environment. Consequently, children do not always follow the established routines and procedures for keeping the club tidy and well organised.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Staff work well together as a team. They show a commitment towards continuous improvement. They attend regular training that helps enhance their skills and increase their knowledge.  Staff provide a welcoming and child-centred environment. Children have lots of fun at the club and explore the available space with confidence. They are motivated and they show good levels of sustained interest in the variety of activities available.  There are effective partnerships between the club staff and parents. Information is shared on a regular basis to promote continuity in children's care and learning.  Children benefit from fresh air and daily exercise as they have plenty of access to outdoor play. These experiences support children's physical development and promote good health.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of activities that are available to children.  The inspector spoke to members of staff, the leader and deputy leader during the inspection.  The inspector took into account the views of children and parents.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as policies and procedures and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Suitable policies and procedures are in place and shared with parents. Staff have a clear understanding of steps to follow should they feel a child is at risk of harm. Risk assessments are in place to ensure potential hazards to children are minimised. Staff have appraisals with the manager and attend regular staff meetings. These help to ensure they have appropriate training and support for their role. Staff supervise children well both indoors and outside. Two-way radio devices are used to inform staff when more children are coming outside. Registers of attendance are not maintained accurately. However, staff are aware of how many children are present, and therefore, this has minimal impact on their safety. The current arrangements for exchanging information with the host school help staff complement children's care and development while at the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff create a welcoming and attractive environment which helps children to relax at the end of the school day. Children enter the club eagerly and soon become occupied in self- chosen play. Interactions between children and staff are lively and friendly. There are many conversations about what they have done and staff listen and ask questions to extend their language skills. Staff clearly know children well and ensure activities reflect their interests and requests made during previous sessions. Children play well in groups and wait patiently for their turn during games. They show good coordination as they thread small plastic rings together or balance and stack cups. They speak enthusiastically to visitors about their games and comment on a, 'World-record holder' who visited their club recently. Children enjoy being creative. Younger children make patterns and pictures with chalks on the ground outdoors. Indoors children have opportunities to draw, build

and use a range of media and materials to be creative with.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children really love to attend the club and have formed strong emotional attachments with staff. However, a failure to consistently maintain accurate documentation means that not all welfare requirements are met. Children's good health and physical development are promoted effectively. Children follow good hygiene procedures. They have many opportunities to eat healthy foods and exercise daily. Children are polite and say please and thank you to each other and staff. Overall, they behave well and share and take turns during their play. Staff help children to learn about staying safe through routines and discussion. A lot of building work is taking place at the school. Staff remind children of the need to keep away from this and the reasons why. Children show very good physical skills as they play football and use tennis rackets to hit balls from one person to another.
