p.1

This provision is inadequate

 Since the last inspection, the provider has failed to take effective action to improve. They continue to demonstrate a poor understanding of what is required to meet the legal requirements. Children's safety is not ensured.  The provider still does not ensure that effective vetting processes are implemented and accurately recorded. Some of those working with the children have not had their suitability checked. This puts children at risk of harm.  The provider still does not have appropriate arrangements in place to supervise the manager's practice. Furthermore, those who are new to the setting do not always benefit from relevant induction training so that they are clear about their roles.  There is still currently no clear named deputy who is judged capable of taking charge in the event of the manager's absence.  The provider still does not record the name, home address and telephone number of all

those who will regularly be in unsupervised contact with the children.  Managers and staff do not demonstrate a good enough understanding of child protection issues or the procedures to follow.  The provider has failed to notify Ofsted of changes to the committee. This means, some of those responsible for running the setting are not cleared to do so.

It has the following strengths

 Children generally have a good time at the setting. Staff interact with children positively and provide them with a suitable range of activities and experiences.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

The provider has failed to address all of the actions raised at the last inspection. Therefore, there are still a number of significant weaknesses in the quality of the provision. A designated deputy manager has still not been identified. The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. Managers and staff do not have a good enough understanding of their responsibility to protect children from different types of harm. This includes what to do in the event of an allegation being made about a member of staff and the indicators that children are at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas about right and wrong. The provider has failed to ensure effective vetting processes are in place. They do not keep accurate records of the suitability checks carried out on staff or volunteers from the host school, including details of Disclosure and Barring Service checks. Furthermore, some of those working with the children have not been vetted. Suitability checks have not

been carried out for a number of students who work in the setting on placement. The provider has also failed to notify Ofsted of changes to the committee to ensure that the necessary suitability checks are completed for them. Record keeping is still poor. The provider does not obtain the required information about people who have regularly contact with the children. This includes their names, addresses and telephone numbers. Although staff benefit from some training, appropriate arrangements for performance management are not yet in place. Supervision is not effective. The provider has failed to implement relevant induction training for those who are new to the setting, including students and volunteers. Those working with children do not always have a clear understanding of their responsibilities or the knowledge and skills required to fulfil their roles. Management do not reflect carefully enough on the quality of the provision to

p.4

implement successful changes and improve. Nevertheless, there are now staff with first aid qualifications available during each session.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff ensure children's interests, likes and views are taken into account when providing activities. They build on children's current skills and complement what they are learning at school. Children enjoy playing imaginative and creative games. Staff encourage pretend play and help children to sing songs and share stories to enhance their games. Children are independent and confident. They manage their own care needs and eagerly participate in the routines and experiences available. Children behave well. Staff encourage them to follow the simple rules that are set. They ensure children learn to respect and tolerate each other and their environment. Partnerships with the parents and the host school are well established. Information about children's learning and care is shared well so that children benefit from continuity between the different settings they attend.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's well-being is still not sufficiently promoted because of significant weaknesses in safeguarding and welfare practices. The feelings of safety and security that children display are somewhat misplaced. Nevertheless, children's emotional and physical well- being is promoted is some ways. For example, staff are kind, caring and friendly. They get to know children and their families well. Children's cultures, languages and home lives are valued and celebrated. Children are happy and relaxed. Staff ensure children benefit from plenty of fresh air. They encourage children to use a variety of equipment, such as hoops, balls and skipping ropes. Children greatly enjoy playing outside. This helps to build on their physical skills.
