p.1

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

 The management does not ensure that those staff who collect children from local schools have current first-aid qualifications. Although this does not meet requirements, it does not have a significant impact on children's safety as staff keep their first-aid skills and knowledge up to date.  The management team does not ensure that staff always complete a record of children's attendance to show their arrival times, as required.  The provider is not aware of the need to obtain permission from Ofsted to store attendance, accident and children's personal records off site.  Self-evaluation is not effective enough to identify and monitor gaps to ensure that the requirements of the early years foundation stage are met.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children are confident. They develop secure social skills and learn to interact with children of all ages, from their own school and others.  Children are happy and settle quickly at the club. They find their favourite activity and immediately begin playing with friends and staff.  Staff are good role models for children. For example, they are responsive to children's requests and model good manners. Children are polite and behave well.  Partnerships with parents and teachers are secure. Staff share information to help them ensure they all support children's learning and development needs consistently.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed children playing with their friends and staff.  The inspector spoke to parents, children and staff at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the manager.  The inspector conducted a meeting with the manager and nominated person to discuss how they organise staff and activities for children.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including children's records, attendance registers and policies.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. The management and staff understand how to identify and report any concerns they have about children. Although the provider ensures staff keep their knowledge of child protection up to date, they do not follow secure procedures to ensure those staff who collect children from school maintain a valid first-aid qualification, as required. This is also a breach of the Childcare Register, although it does not have a significant impact on children as the provider has supported staff to maintain their knowledge of first aid, such as through in-house refresher training. The provider follows secure procedures to recruit new staff safely, such as ensuring they undergo appropriate vetting checks. The manager meets with all staff regularly to offer support and develop their individual practice, such as managing children's behaviour effectively. However, the management has not obtained permission to store children's records off the premises.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Records of attendance, accidents and children's personal details were not available for inspection. Staff do not consistently record all children's arrival times to enable them to monitor children's attendance and safety.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager monitors children's progress and development well. She and staff complete ongoing observations and assessments, which they share with teachers and parents. Staff understand children's interests and organise appealing activities that support children's development needs. For example, as children play a piñata game, they practise counting in sequence, which builds on what they learn at school. Staff interact well with children. For example, they talk to them about their day at school. Those children who prefer to relax and read a book after school have good opportunities to make themselves comfortable and rest.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Weaknesses in the leadership and management do not ensure staff can successfully support children's welfare and well-being effectively at all times. However, children enjoy their time at the club. Staff teach them to develop a sense of heathy lifestyles. For example, children have opportunities to be physically active, such as playing outside in fields or woods. Staff offer children healthy snacks. They encourage children to extend their self-care skills by completing simple tasks independently at snack time. Overall, children are safe in the club and staff follow appropriate procedures, such as completing risk assessments to help maintain their safety.
