Effectiveness of the leadership and management Requires improvement Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Requires improvement Personal development, behaviour and welfare Requires improvement Outcomes for children Not applicable

p.1

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

 The provider does not ensure that all relevant records are available for inspection, in particular, those relating to staff qualifications and paediatric first aid training.  Not all staff that are involved in the handling and preparation of food undergo relevant training to make sure that they understand their role in ensuring food hygiene. This breach also relates to the requirements of the Childcare Register.  The current systems for monitoring staff performance are not always effective enough, particularly in ensuring all staff receive regular support and training to carry out their roles fully.  Although the provider has improved outdoor activities following the last inspection, daily opportunities for children to have better access to outdoors are still developing.  Self-evaluation processes are not thorough, in particular, to identify all aspects of the club that require improving and to raise the quality of the provision to a good standard.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Staff develop suitable partnerships with schools that children attend to ensure continuity in addressing children's care needs. For example, they share information during collection and continue to build links with other settings.  Staff develop positive partnerships with parents. They communicate regularly to share information about children's care and well-being. Parents spoken to on the day were complimentary about the service they receive.

Due Date

 improve the arrangements for supporting professional development to enable staff to gain the necessary skills and qualifications to carry out their roles  continue to embed all opportunities for children to use the outdoor area fully to enhance their daily experiences at the club  make better use of self-evaluation to accurately identify and address any weaknesses, to raise the quality of the provision for children.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the interactions between children and staff while they engaged in activities together.  The inspector talked to the children and parents, and took account of their views.  The inspector engaged in discussions with the provider and staff at appropriate times throughout the inspection.  The inspector looked at some relevant documentation, including staff suitability checks and children's records.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The provider does not always ensure that all required documents are available for inspection, such as those relating to staff first aid qualifications. The provider does not use self-evaluation systems well enough to identify all areas for improvement. For example, she does not ensure that all staff have the skills and training to support them in their roles, such as in preparing food for children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The provider ensures that all staff have undergone suitability checks and understand their role in keeping children safe. Staff are aware of potential signs and symptoms that may cause concern, including the procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child in their care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Children enjoy their time at the club and generally engage in a suitable range of activities. However, although there are some regular opportunities for children to play outdoors, staff miss occasions to develop this aspect fully to broaden children's daily experiences and extend their interests. Despite this, children are gaining some skills that complement their learning at school. For example, children enjoy being creative and engaging in a range of arts and craft activities and pretend play, such dressing up and playing with trains. They have opportunities to extend their existing skills, for example, they help themselves to books from the wide selection available and they enjoy playing board games together.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The provider does not always prioritise children's health, in particular, to ensure all staff have undergone suitable training in food hygiene before preparing children's snack. Nevertheless, children follow suitable hygiene routines and manage most of their own personal needs. They enjoy snack time and benefit from foods that are sufficiently healthy and nutritious. Children are content and settled, and enjoy the positive relationship they have established with staff and one another. Staff support the needs of the younger children appropriately. They generally deploy themselves well, giving children space to explore, while remaining close by to offer support and guidance if needed. Children behave well and they play cooperatively, for example, they share and include each other in their play.
