p.1

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

 Staff do not have a robust knowledge of some aspects of child protection and the policies and procedures are not fully updated in line with legislative changes.  Staff do not include hours of attendance in the daily record of children being cared for.  Staff's practice is not effectively monitored.  Information sharing with other providers is not effective in promoting a shared and consistent approach for children.  Evaluation of practice is not effective enough.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Staff reinforce essential social skills with children through their positive role modelling.  Children's views are valued and actively encouraged. This helps them to feel a sense of ownership about what happens at the club.  Staff create a friendly and relaxed environment. Children are happy and enjoy their time at the club.  Children behave well. They help to create the club rules, such as the use of the computer console, so that they are clear about boundaries and expectations.  Children play collaboratively and build firm friendships.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector spoke with staff and children at appropriate times throughout the inspection.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager and deputy manager. She looked at relevant documentation, such as policies and procedures and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club.  The inspector spoke to parents during the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff can identify possible signs of abuse or neglect and are aware of internal and external reporting procedures. However, their understanding of issues related to preventing children being drawn into situations which put them at significant risk of harm is less secure. This is because the manager has not cascaded information from training and the child protection policy has not been updated to include wider safeguarding issues. The premises are secure, enabling staff to closely monitor access to the club. Management continually reviews accident records as part of their effective risk assessments. There is some suitable self-evaluation. Practice is reviewed informally amongst staff and regular committee meetings are held. Some improvements are identified by staff. For example, they regularly change the environment around to increase children's use of certain activities. The monitoring of staff practice is

not robust enough to inform effective supervision and evaluate and support improvements in their knowledge and skills. There are adequate systems for sharing information about the club with parents. Parents are eager to share their extremely complimentary views about the care of their children and the 'invaluable' club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff are unable to complement children's ongoing experiences with those at school or support any targeted learning. This is because there is a lack of purposeful partnership working and information sharing with the Reception teacher. Children readily choose from an adequate range of activities and resources that takes into account what staff know about the children's interests and what they would like to do. Staff also introduce new experiences, such as sewing. Staff's qualifications have an adequate impact on practice, including their interaction. Staff reinforce skills that children require for successful learning. They encourage children to be kind and considerate and encourage cooperative play and turn taking. Children take part in conversations as they share ideas while engaging in a craft activity or building models with construction toys.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Some documentation lacks detail to fully promote the efficient and safe management of the club, for example, attendance records. Positive relationships are established between staff and children. This helps children to feel safe and at ease and develop good levels of confidence. They readily enter the club, hanging up their belongings and immediately selecting what they would like to do. Staff find out useful information from parents to help them get to know new children. This helps to support children's transition to the club. However, transitions between the club and school are not fully supported, as partnership working in this respect is not effective enough. Mealtimes are sociable occasions where children have healthy options. This contributes positively to their physical well-being. This is further supported as children access the school playground at teatime before returning to the club and use other local facilities.
