This provision is inadequate

 The manager and staff have a weak understanding of current and wider child protection issues. Children are not protected from all possible harm. This compromises their safety and welfare.  Staff do not keep a record of children's hours of attendance as required.  The manager does not coach staff effectively to help them understand their role and responsibilities. Staff do not provide a good range of resources and activities to help keep children occupied and motivated during their play.  Partnerships with parents are weak. The manager and staff do not provide parents with sufficient information about their children's time at the club. This does not support a consistent approach.  Staff do not manage children's behaviour consistently. Children do not gain a clear understanding of behaviour expectations.  The manager does not use evaluation effectively to identify and target weaknesses in staff practice and breaches in the requirements.

She spoke with parents, children and staff to gain their views.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the manager.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The manager and staff do not have a secure understanding of child protection issues, including what might indicate a child is at risk of being exposed to extreme views and behaviour. This compromises children's safety and well-being. The manager does not ensure staff record children's hours of attendance. This impairs their ability to monitor information for any concerns. The manager and staff are aware of the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The manager offers supervisory meetings and training opportunities. However, these have not had sufficient impact on the quality of staff practice. The manager follows appropriate recruitment procedures to check staff's suitability to work with children. The manager does not evaluate the provision rigorously. He has failed to identify the breaches in requirements, such as the inconsistency in behaviour management. He has not acted

swiftly to address areas which he has identified need improvement. For example, children do not have sufficiently challenging and engaging play experiences, and staff do not communicate well enough with parents.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Staff provide a limited range of toys and activities, which do not consistently match the ages and needs of the children attending. Staff do not keep parents fully informed or seek their views, to help build on what their children know and can do. Although staff interact with children appropriately, their role is mostly supervisory. For example, young children who showed an interest in drawing did not receive a sufficient level of challenge. Others who wanted to engage in pretend play had inadequate access to resources, limiting their imagination and creativity. Children became bored and disengaged. Some older children became restless and wandered with no purpose. Overall, this hinders children's enjoyment.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management compromise children's welfare. Staff do not consistently recognise when children need support because they do not have a suitable understanding of their role. They do not know the hours children attend because they do not keep a record as required. Behaviour management is weak. Children do not receive clear messages about how to behave well. This is because not all staff are consistent in their approach. For example, staff asked some children not to sit on tables but overlooked others, and some staff sat on tables during play and at mealtimes. This does not teach children about boundaries and expectations. Despite this, children are generally settled and know the daily routines. This helps to support their emotional well- being. Staff organise group games to help develop children's physical skills. Older children show confidence and agility as they balance on large equipment. Young and older children

are independent. They take responsibility for their personal care.
