p.1

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

 Leaders have not ensured the clubs designated lead for safeguarding has attended an appropriate training course to fulfil the requirements of the role.  Staff miss opportunities to interact with children and do not always plan interesting activities to meet the needs of all children who attend.  Children's learning at school is not considered when staff prepare some activities in the club to ensure there is variety of interesting things for them to do.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Parents are very complimentary about the club and report that their children have fun and really enjoy attending. Staff share daily information about children at handover times with parents.  Children of all ages develop good friendships. Older children support the younger ones to succeed, such as by helping them to move covers and resources as they build dens. They also show the younger children how to make symmetrical patterns with bubble mixture.  Staff promote children's physical and emotional well-being through effective care practices. They seek information from children, parents and the school to help support the children's welfare.

Inspection activities

 The inspector viewed the areas of the premises used by the club.  The inspector observed children engaged in activities and routines, and evaluated the impact and quality of staff interactions during these.  The inspector spoke to staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection. She spoke to several parents to gain their views of the club.  The inspector looked at documents related to children's welfare and the activities provided, including evidence of the suitability of those working in the club.  The inspector held a number of discussions with the manager and deputy manager of the organisation.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The leaders ensure staff have a secure understanding of how to implement policies and report any concerns about children's welfare. The newly appointed manager understands the procedures to keep children safe however, she has yet to complete required safeguarding training that lead practitioners must attend. Recruitment and induction of staff is robust and helps to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff have regular supervision meetings to talk about any personal issues, training needs and check ongoing suitability. This helps to identify areas to develop and to support children further. For example, behaviour training was identified as something staff needed to develop. This has resulted in staff using positive language to support children's behaviour. The new manager is using self-evaluation to improve practice. For example, she is ensuring all records and documentation are stored

appropriately and are easily accessible.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff provide activities however, they lack meaningful interactions from staff and a few children lose interest. Staff do not always use children's learning at school to enhance the activities within the club. Even so, children are warmly welcomed into a large relaxed environment where they can independently choose where they want to play. Children lead their own play and use their imaginations well. For example children use the dens they have built together to become 'safe bases' during a game of chase. Staff provide children with opportunities to go outdoors and play games, run freely and create their own play. Children are able to use large equipment, for example, the balancing beams and climbing apparatus, to promote their physical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are self-assured, motivated and confidently share their views with visitors about what they enjoy doing at the club. Children know what is expected of them and understand the boundaries while at the club. Staff know the children very well and chat happily to them about their day when they arrive in the club. Children's ongoing good health is promoted well and staff offer children a healthy snack and drink during the session. Children are able to rest and relax on soft chairs inside a quieter part of the club. They follow good hygiene routines with minimal support and manage their personal needs with ease. Children learn about keeping themselves safe and know they must inform a member of staff if they wish to leave the room to visit the toilet and make them aware of their return. In addition, children regularly participate in emergency evacuation drills and this means that they know how to get out of the premises quickly and safely should the
