This provision is inadequate

 The provider has failed to ensure that all members of the committee have completed the necessary checks with Ofsted to ensure their suitability in a timely way. They have failed to give information to Ofsted about the nominated person for the club.  Staff do not give children enough opportunities to develop their sense of responsibility in the club.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children and staff build strong relationships during their time in the club. This is because the key-person system is effective in supporting children's individual needs.  Staff are supported well by the manager. Supervision meetings support them to reflect on their practice and identify further training opportunities that help them to improve the experiences children receive.  Staff listen to children and play alongside them, helping children to enjoy playing with the wide range of resources offered.  Staff share information about children's learning with the school that they attend, in order to complement their learning.  Staff help children to develop good personal hygiene routines and ensure that they wash their hands prior to eating.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children playing indoors and outdoors.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the deputy manager.  The inspector held a meeting with the club's manager.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as the club's policies and procedures, staff training certificates and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club.  The inspector spoke to a small selection of children and parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Arrangements for safeguarding are ineffective. Robust procedures for checking the suitability of committee members and the nominated person have not been followed. This means that people who are responsible for the leadership and management of the club have not had their suitability verified. This compromises children's welfare and safety. Nevertheless, staff are fully aware of their role and responsibility in protecting children from abuse. They know the procedures to follow, in order to protect children in their care. Daily checks of the environment help staff to maintain a secure and safe environment. Staff gather feedback from children and ask them for ideas for activities that they would like in the club. They write their comments on paper in the shape of fish and put them into a fishbowl. Children and staff call this process 'fishes for wishes'.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are eager and excited to meet staff at the end of their school day. They are keen to share information about their day. Staff talk to teachers and pass on any relevant information to ensure children's transition to the club is supported well. Information about what children are learning at school is obtained so that staff can complement this in the club. Children thoroughly enjoy playing with puppets. They use different voices for the characters in fairy stories. Children demonstrate good listening skills when they listen to staff and children as they follow the story. They learn to share, take turns and play cooperatively together. Children develop their physical skills outside. They ride on scooters and bikes and negotiate passing each other safely. Children develop their upper-body strength as they swing on metal bars. Children talk positively about their experiences in the club. They say that when they are in the club, 'Everyone is your friend'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's safety and well-being is compromised because the suitability of people in positions of influence has not been verified. Staff take effective steps to ensure that clear plans are drawn up with parents regarding their child's medical and dietary needs. Clear routines are in place for dealing with any minor accidents that occur and parents are informed about these at the end of the day. Children behave well. They sit together with staff for snack time and enjoy a wide range of healthy foods. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, develop a sense of belonging in the club as soon as they arrive. Staff ask them to write their names on the board to show that they have arrived. They know where to hang their belongings and speak to staff with confidence. Children are independent and select which resources they would like to play with. Children learn about the wider world. Staff provide opportunities for children to learn
