p.1

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

 Staff do not receive enough support, coaching and training to help them improve the quality of their interactions with children.  Staff do not take enough account of children's interests. Children are not provided with enough quality experiences that motivate and inspire them to take part.  Children are not given the support they need to build further on the learning taking place elsewhere. For example, they do not receive enough consistent opportunities to deepen their understanding of the boundaries and behavioural expectations of the club.  The two-way flow of information with parents and schools is not established well enough to ensure that staff can offer children continuity and build further on the learning that takes place at home or in school.  The evaluation and monitoring processes are not good enough to make sure that all weaknesses in the provision are swiftly recognised and addressed.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Since the last inspection, managers have been working with the local authority to develop their practice. This has had a positive impact on the care they provide.  Staff are kind, caring and friendly. They get to know children well. Children form positive relationships with them and are happy to attend.  Children are confident and independent. They like the responsibility of helping with small tasks and make their own choices about which activities to take part in.

She looked at relevant documentation, policies and procedures.  The inspector looked at evidence of the suitability of all those working with children.  The inspector spoke to staff throughout the inspection as appropriate.  The inspector spoke to a small selection of parents and children during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The manager is still relatively new to her role and the club has been experiencing a time of change within the staff team. Although most staff are well qualified the arrangements for the supervision of staff and professional development opportunities they benefit from are not good enough. Leaders and managers are focused on promoting children's well- being but have not given enough priority to improving the quality of staff's interactions with children. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff understand child protection issues and safeguarding legislation. The club is safe and secure. The environment is risk assessed and any potential hazards to children are minimised. This helps to keep children safe from harm. Leaders and managers evaluate the setting and set some targets for improvement. However, they do not yet make the most effective use of the evaluation and monitoring processes to identify and take action

to address all the weaknesses in the provision. They do aspire to promote better outcomes for all children in the future.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The quality of staff's interactions with children is variable. For example, sometimes staff do not make good use of opportunities to build on children's interests and further guide their learning. On these occasions, children quickly lose interest in the activity and ultimately walk away. Nevertheless staff do spend some time playing with children at their level and engage them in group games. Children enjoy playing games, such as table tennis. Staff help them to make a list of all children that want a go and negotiate the turns to play a tournament. Staff talk to them about what they are doing and encourage them to share their ideas. This helps to build on their social, language and literacy skills. Staff have established positive relationships with parents who comment that they are happy with the service provided by the club. However, staff do not share enough information about children's experiences with parents or the schools they attend in order to promote

the best continuity between all those involved in children's care and education.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children are not sufficiently motivated or inspired by the activities at the club. Sometimes they struggle to join in or are not interested in what is available. Although children generally behave well, staff do not always provide children with consistent messages about the behavioural expectations of the club. Occasionally, during group sessions, children do not listen to one another and they talk over each other. Also, sometimes during routines, such as snack time, they struggle to follow the rules regarding sitting down to eat. However, children generally play well together. They learn to accept, tolerate and respect each other. Children's good health is well promoted. Children greatly enjoy playing outside. They spend time playing ball games, climbing and negotiating the space available using a range of wheeled vehicles. This helps to strengthen their physical skills. Staff provide children with nutritious snacks. They also ensure children adopt good

hygiene routines, such as washing their hands before meals.
