p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The provider does not ensure that each senior member of staff who has lead responsibility for safeguarding is knowledgeable about all safeguarding matters, including the indicators that a child may be at risk of harm, and the procedures to follow to report any concerns. This compromises children's welfare, safety and well- being.  The provider does not ensure the management team and staff use risk assessments effectively to take all necessary precautions to keep children safe, particularly when outdoors. They identify hazards in the children's play areas, but do not take all reasonable steps to minimise them.  The provider and management team fail to evaluate the provision effectively. They do not identify breaches of requirements, including those for the Childcare Register, or weaknesses in practice to take the necessary steps to ensure children's safety and well- being.

It has the following strengths

 Children are happy, confident and motivated. They enjoy the varied play opportunities at the club and engage well in their games with staff and others.  Staff support children's communication and language skills well, engaging them in discussions and conversations during activities and mealtimes.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children play with staff and others inside and outdoors.  The inspector spoke to some parents, staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector held a meeting with the two nominated persons and the deputy manager to discuss how they manage the club.  The inspector sampled a range of documents, including staff's suitability.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The provider does not ensure that senior staff who are responsible for safeguarding are clear about all potential signs that children may be at risk of harm outside the setting. The deputy manager, who is the lead safeguarding officer in the manager's absence, is not familiar with all safeguarding matters or who to report any concerns to. This limits their ability to act promptly should they have a concern about a child in their care. The management team identifies hazards in children's play areas, but does not take account of all factors that could affect children's safety and well-being when outdoors, placing children at unnecessary risk. The provider and management team have made some improvements since the last inspection, such as ensuring all staff have paediatric first-aid qualifications. They have evaluated some aspects of practice, but this is not fully effective, as they have not identified the current breaches in requirements. The

management team supports staff to develop their skills and attend training which has improved, for example, how they support children's communication and language during their daily activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff set up activities ready for children to enjoy as soon as they arrive. There is a good selection of resources inside and outdoors that helps children to be creative and physically active. Staff organise team games, such as rounders or football, that encourage children's good hand-to-eye coordination as well as strong physical skills. Staff support children well to socialise and negotiate with others during team games, as well as quieter activities. For example, as children engage in a craft activity, they listen to staff instructions and learn how to use scissors carefully. Staff build effective partnerships with parents. They frequently share information about what children enjoy and achieve each day. Staff work well with the schools that children attend, to support consistency in their experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in safeguarding compromise children's welfare. The provider and management team do not take all reasonable steps to keep children safe. Although staff identify hazards, such as a significant number of wasps in the playground, they do not consider all the potential risks the wasps may pose to children's safety. Children are aware of the wasps, but staff allow them to continue to play their ball games or use ride-on toys in the vicinity. Staff provide children with positive examples of how to interact with others. This helps children develop secure relationships and supportive friendships.
