p.1

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

 The provider, who is also the manager, does not understand her responsibility to obtain an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check for each member of staff for this registration.  Not all staff have a valid paediatric first aid qualification to meet the requirements of the Early Years Register and the Childcare Register when the manager is not present.  Self-evaluation is not used as effectively as possible to ensure all requirements are met and to identify areas for further improvement.  Supervision and performance management are not sufficiently thorough to ensure the efficient running of the setting and raise the quality of the provision.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Staff plan exciting activities for children, who say that they enjoy choosing from the wide range of activities on offer. Children's views are at the centre of this lively club.  The provider has good partnerships with the host school, other schools children attend and with parents. Staff fully involve parents and encourage a good exchange of information.  Children behave well and show a clear sense of belonging. Staff use calm and effective ways to manage children's behaviour and remind them of the rules.  Children benefit from good relationships with staff. Staff provide a calm and welcoming environment where they support children to be independent and confident.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities in the indoor and outdoor areas.  The inspector held meetings with the provider and spoke to staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector looked at a selection of children's records, policies and procedures, and a range of other documents.  The inspector checked evidence of staff's suitability and qualifications.  The inspector spoke to parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of the procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. Staff have current Disclosure and Barring Service checks from their work in the school to help keep children safe. However, the provider has not carried out new checks as required, with respect to her setting. Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff value their feedback and actively seek their views. Effective communication with the schools children attend helps staff to have a full picture of each child's individual needs. Staff maintain a safe environment. For example, they regularly risk assess all areas to ensure children can explore in safety. The provider takes some steps towards improving staff's knowledge and the quality of the provision. However, supervision and performance management processes are not organised effectively to ensure continuous improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a variety of activities and experiences to support children to enjoy their time at the holiday club and when attending after school. Children are active and enthusiastic to take part. For example, while children enjoy making biscuits, staff support children to use their problem-solving skills to weigh out the ingredients and count how many spoonfuls they need. Children share and take turns with materials and resources. They show an understanding of each other, as children of different ages work together. Children enjoy taking part in a range of physical activities indoors and outdoors. For example, they play with hoops and enjoy playing football. Staff support children's language and communication skills well, such as through conversations, asking questions and in reading sessions. Staff make good use of the information gathered from parents and the schools children attend to help plan complementary activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children enjoy accessing a range of resources and making choices in their play. Staff support children's understanding of healthy eating, and children eat healthy and nutritious snacks after school. Mealtimes are relaxed and sociable. For example, children enjoy talking about what they have been doing at home. The manager holds a valid paediatric first aid qualification, but has not ensured that sufficient staff have the same qualification to meet requirements when she is not at the setting. However, the impact on children's well-being is reduced as staff have undertaken suitable first aid training for older children through the school. Children are familiar with the club's routines and follow good hygiene practices. Staff support children to respect other cultures and beliefs. For example, children take part in discussions and learn about different festivals.
