The provision does not meet requirements

 The provider has a poor understanding of the requirements and failed to notify Ofsted about the appointment of a new manager at the club.  The provider has not made sure that, in her absence, the manager fully understands her responsibilities in the event of staff having a concern about a child’s welfare or if an allegation were to be made against staff at the club.  Procedures to recruit staff and monitor their ongoing suitability are not secure enough.  The provider has not made sure that documents are readily available for the purpose of inspection. She is unable to demonstrate that she maintains required documentation in relation to staff recruitment and ongoing support and staff first-aid qualifications.  The provider has not made sure that the registration certificate is appropriately displayed in the club and does not have a copy of this at the club to show to parents on request.  The provider deploys staff appropriately to ensure that ratios are maintained. Staff have

p.1

The provision does not meet requirements

There were no children present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
