p.1

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

 Management does not ensure that staff keep a written record of all accidents children have in the setting and inform parents on the day.  Staff do not provide children with consistent messages to ensure they understand what is expected of them regarding their behaviour, and to ensure the behaviour of older children does not disrupt the play of others.  Staff do not regularly gain information from teachers to support and complement children's learning further in school.  Management does not evaluate the quality of the provision or monitor staff interactions effectively, to identify and address the weaknesses in the provision.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children arrive happy and are keen to attend. They choose their favourite activities confidently, and find friends and staff with whom to play.  Staff provide a good range of nutritious foods at tea to support children's healthy diet, such as fresh and dried fruits, cold meats and crackers.  Staff maintain secure environments for children and monitor standards of safety in the setting, such as completing risk assessments and monitoring all visitors.  Staff use ideas from their professional development to provide enjoyable activities for children. For example, they create den-building activities for children to use their imaginations and physical skills.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed activities and care of children in the activity room and outdoor play area.  The inspector sampled children's records and documentation.  The inspector assessed the suitability of staff and discussed management's knowledge and understanding of the early years foundation stage.  The inspector took account of the views of parents and their children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Management monitors and evaluates some aspects of the provision and staff interactions with children. However, this is not effective to identify and successfully address all the weaknesses, including the inconsistencies in behaviour management and the links with the school teachers. Although staff are aware of the procedures they should follow should a child have an accident, management does not ensure that they always record all accidents, and inform parents on the day to support every child's health and well-being. Management has taken some steps to address some of the weaknesses raised at the last inspection. For example, staff provide a well-organised snack time without children having to wait unnecessarily. Safeguarding is effective. Management and staff have a secure understanding of the risks to children, and the procedures to follow if they have any concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff have taken some steps to build further on the links with the school. They meet with teachers to support children's well-being and welfare, and plan activities linked to class topics and events. However, staff do not find out about children's individual development to complement their learning further in school. Staff provide a good range of enjoyable activities for children to choose when they arrive. They spend time settling children in, and ask them questions to find out about their school day and news. For example, children talk about the shapes they learned in art, and staff ask more questions to challenge their knowledge and encourage their communication. Staff help children to create and use their imaginations well. For instance, children use camouflage, sheets and pillows to make a den. They work together to move benches to mark safe boundaries and decide how to peg the sheets to make them secure. However, inconsistent behaviour management by

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

staff means not all children follow the club's rules and engage in purposeful play, and the excitable behaviour of some older children disrupts other children's play on occasions, and they become frustrated and lose interest.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Weaknesses to leadership and management mean that staff do not always follow the correct procedures to fully secure children's well-being. Staff do not provide children with consistent messages to help them learn about considerate behaviour and what is expected of them. For example, some older children arrive very excited and run around the playroom, knocking over toys, and some younger children copy them. Children show good independence. They serve themselves and clear away their plates at snack time, and get themselves ready for going home. Children benefit from regular outdoor play where they join in group games and football with energy and enthusiasm. Staff help children to find out about diversity in the world. For instance, children talk about special events, such as the royal birth, and learn about cultural events.
