p.1

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

 The management has not made sufficient improvement to the provision to ensure that it has met all the actions and recommendations set at the last inspection. Weaknesses in hygiene practices at snack time remain. Staff fail to minimise the risk of cross infection.  The manager does not monitor staff practice well to ensure that staff organise and manage daily routines effectively. For example, children wait around unoccupied while staff prepare for outside play or snack time.  The management does not make effective use of self-evaluation to consistently monitor staff practice and identify weaknesses in the provision. This does not ensure that children receive good quality care and play experiences.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children enjoy playing outside. There is plenty of space for them to be physically active and to take part in team games, such as tag, which staff join in with.  Staff share a range of useful information with parents. For example, they talk to parents about their children's time at the club and pass on messages from children's school teachers.  Children arrive happy to see their friends and staff. They know the importance of taking turns, sharing and considering the views and feelings of other children.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children's play and staff's interaction, indoors and outdoors, and the deployment of staff.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector looked at documentation, including a sample of children's records and staff suitability records.  The inspector talked with the provider, staff and parents about the provision.  The inspector discussed the systems used to review and evaluate the provision.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The management has not made effective use of self-evaluation to monitor practice consistently. Not all actions and recommendations raised at the previous inspection have been met. Staff have been on food hygiene training but do not follow suitable hygiene practices when serving food to minimise all possible risks to children's health. The management does not have effective systems to ensure that staff receive suitable support, monitoring and guidance to help them improve their practice. Safeguarding is effective. Staff know their individual safeguarding responsibilities and understand the procedure to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare or safety. Staff work with a range of professionals, including those from the local authority and other settings that children attend, to seek guidance and advice to support individual children. They also share information about children to help provide continuity in their care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Overall, children enjoy their time at the club. They share books and listen to stories while they wait for other children to arrive. Staff listen attentively, make eye contact and get down to the children's level, encouraging them to share their thoughts and ideas. However, the weakness in the monitoring of staff practice does not ensure that children are consistently interested, occupied and engaged. For example, children stand around waiting for extended periods of time while staff get ready to take them outside. Children use their imaginations and recall experiences from home in their play. For example, they busily make cakes in the mud kitchen, chatting to their friends and staff about what they are making. Children dress up and pretend to be their favourite characters from stories and freely use pens and pencils to draw and record their creations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff do not consistently model good hygiene practices to support children's health and well-being. However, children know that they must wash their hands before eating. Staff encourage children to recall the club rules and why they are important. This helps children to understand what they can do to keep safe and feel happy at the club. Children develop high levels of self-confidence. They confidently use large play equipment, safe in the knowledge that staff are nearby to help if needed. This helps children to develop their coordination and physical skills as they balance, climb, jump and run. Staff have improved the range of food they offer to children at snack time. Children enjoy trying different fresh fruits and make their own sandwiches.
