This provision is inadequate

 The provider does not effectively implement the club's safeguarding policy and procedures, consequently, children are not fully protected.  The provider has insufficient knowledge of safeguarding procedures. She is not able to identify possible signs of abuse and neglect. This means she is unable to understand and respond to such concerns without delay.  The provider does not ensure the safe and efficient management of the setting. She does not keep clear records about children's individual needs and, therefore, cannot demonstrate how these will be met. For example, she does not find out who has parental responsibility for each child.  The provider does not ensure that all records are accessible and available for inspection at all times.  Although the provider has established partnerships with parents, information about individual children's interests is not gathered well enough to further promote their

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Staff support children's interests in the natural world. Visitors come into the setting to showcase small wildlife, such as reptiles and exotic insects. Children find out about their habitats, how they live and what they eat. They get the opportunity to handle some of these animals under the close supervision of the staff.  Children explore topics about healthy food. They spend much of their time outdoors. They learn to take manageable risks in their play using a range of equipment, and run around with their friends in the fresh air. This fosters children's awareness of a healthy lifestyle.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children undertaking activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's care and learning.  The inspector completed a joint observation of an activity with the provider.  The inspector held a meeting with the provider. She looked at relevant documentation, such as the provider's self-evaluation and evidence of the suitability of staff working at the club.  The inspector spoke to the staff during the inspection.  The inspector spoke to children and some of the parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. Although there is a safeguarding policy in place, the provider does not fully understand her role in safeguarding children. As a result, the provider has failed to notify local children's social care of concerns about a child's welfare in a timely manner. This has put the child at risk. The provider does not ensure that all required documentation is available for inspection at all times, including records of children's individual needs. Despite this, staff do effectively check all the indoor and outdoor areas to make sure any hazards are identified and minimised. The provider provides staff with periodic, one-to-one confidential discussions which mean staff are able to discuss any issues about their training and professional development. The provider observes the staff's practice to ensure children's interests are identified and included in the planning. The provider and her staff recognise the importance of improving the

partnerships with parents, other providers and the local schools.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children make independent choices about what they want to play with during indoor activities. Some children spend time at the computers, where they explore a range of programmes that effectively supports their skills in mathematics, problem solving and reading. Other children spend time at the arts table, where they use tools and media to create their own models and pictures to display in the club or take home. Staff talk with the children and use questioning techniques to support the promotion of children's communication and language skills. Children enjoy making friends as they play board games, demonstrating their positive sharing and turn-taking skills. This fosters children's continued readiness for school.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

There are weaknesses in the leadership and management of the club. The provider's lack of safeguarding knowledge and failure to implement the safeguarding policies and procedures put children at risk. Children's safety is further compromised through the club's insufficient recording of important information about children's individual requirements. Despite this, the key-person system in place helps to foster children's close emotional attachments to staff. Staff are positive role models for children, using praise and encouragement to promote their good behaviour. Children spend time chatting with one another and the staff about their school day. They have discussed, agreed and displayed their own rules for the club. Children learn about the importance of having good manners and demonstrate regard for one another as they play together. They learn about similarities and differences and play with a range of resources that reflects positive images

of diversity. This helps children to form positive relationships with one another and to develop empathy and respect.
