p.1

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

 The provider does not inform parents of the name of their child's key person or explain the key-person's role.  The provider does not find out enough information about children when they first start at the club, so that staff can plan activities to effectively target their individual needs and interests from the outset.  The provider does not have effective arrangements for the ongoing supervision and training of staff, to help them raise their knowledge and skills to a higher standard.  The provider does not consistently obtain the views of children, parents and staff to evaluate the provision, and help prioritise and target areas for improvements.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 The provider has a good relationship with the host school. The teachers share information well about topics different year groups are learning in school. This helps the provider to plan activities that complement children's learning.  Children are happy in the club. Staff's praise and encouragement helps them to be confident and self-assured. Children develop good friendships with others from different age groups. They are confident around visitors, and are keen to talk about their school day, family and friends. Parents say that the staff keep their children safe.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The provider evaluates her practice to identify areas for improvement. However, she does not consistently include children, parents or staff's views in her assessments. This means she does not know whether they are happy with the service she provides, or whether changes reflect their views accurately. Safeguarding is effective. The provider implements safe recruitment procedures, which help to check that staff are suitable to work with children. She explains staff's role to them when they start their employment, so that they are clear about their responsibilities. Staff implement policies successfully to protect children, and know the procedures to follow if they had concerns about a child's welfare. Staff complete essential training, such as child protection and first aid. However, the provider does not have effective arrangements for the ongoing professional development of staff. She does not support them effectively enough to continually build on their

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The provider does not find out enough information about children's interests or stage of development when they enter the club, to target their individual needs effectively from the start. However, children soon grow in confidence. They start to share their ideas and get involved in planning. Children enjoy a suitable range of creative activities. Staff encourage them to try tasks for themselves, such as using scissors to cut materials. Staff engage children well. Children enjoy their time in the club. The provider ensures a suitable range of resources is available. This means children can make some choices about their play. They enjoy playing board games where they learn about rules and taking turns. They enjoy games of football, and practising their physical skills in the adventure playground. Children like making pizzas and preparing their own snacks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The provider does not inform parents of the name of their child's key person or explain the key-person role. This does not ensure that staff support parents, as well as possible to share information. However, parents say that there is usually a familiar member of staff in the club for them to pass on information. Older children like helping to look after the younger ones, which helps new children to settle. Children develop their own rules for the club and behave well. Staff are good role models and promote being kind and using good manners. They speak to children respectfully and listen to them well. Staff encourage children to keep themselves safe. Children understand the rules for using outdoor equipment. They risk assess and identify hazards for themselves. Staff promote good hygiene routines, and help children to understand why a healthy diet and exercise are important.
