p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The provider has not appointed a lead practitioner in the club responsible for safeguarding, who will liaise with local statutory children's services agencies as required. The provider does not accurately evaluate the provision. They have not ensured that new staff undergo induction to prepare them for their role. Furthermore, staff do not receive ongoing supervision to make sure that they fully understand and are trained effectively for their roles and responsibilities. Children are not supervised well enough at all times, which compromises their safety. Not all records needed to support children's well-being and safety are completed. That said, staff are aware of the signs of abuse and neglect. They know what to do if they are concerned about a child in their care. The new manager and her staff are enthusiastic and work together as a team to manage the day-to-day running of the club.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Staff do not always obtain information from parents about their child's likes and interests when children first start. Furthermore, they have not established a two-way flow of communication to share information with the school. This means, staff are not able to tailor children's experiences and build on what they already know and can do to consolidate their learning. They do not plan activities to meet children's individual needs and interests. Key persons do not spend enough time with their key children as other duties frequently take precedence. As a result, some children walk around restlessly, looking for something to do and others say that they are bored. That said, children do take part in some activities that are on offer. For example, they use their creativity to make cards during craft activities. Staff guide children to make choices from a variety of materials, such as glitter and foam. Staff share information with parents about their child's

time at the club. Parents comment that they are pleased with the positive relationships that their children have developed with the staff and each other.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's safety and well-being are not assured. Children's records are not completed accurately. Staff do not have details for parents and carers. Children are put at further risk because staff do not supervise them adequately at all times. They are allowed to go unsupervised to the toilets, which are located away from the main room. Staff do not check to ensure that all children have had a snack and drink. As a result, some children miss snack time and go home hungry. Although children have a key person assigned to them, parents are not made aware of who it is. This means parents are not supported to build relationships and share important information with staff. Children do not always have enough time with their key person to make sure their care needs are met and that they are able to take part fully in some activities. However, older children do encourage their younger friends to join in their play
