p.1

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

 The manager and staff do not hold a current paediatric first-aid certificate.  Supervision is not used effectively to support staff's professional development and to drive improvements in practice.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children are confident and form friendships with children outside of their regular peer groups. Their behaviour is good.  Parents speak warmly about the care that their children receive and the experiences they enjoy.  Young children develop an understanding of danger and they learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, staff teach them about road safety on the walk from school to the club.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

First-aid certificates for the manager and staff have recently expired. However, staff can demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of actions they would take should a child have an accident. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of the signs and symptoms of harm and where to refer any concerns about a child's welfare. The manager has broadened her understanding of wider safeguarding issues, such as protecting children from extreme views and behaviour. The manager does not use effective performance management procedures to monitor and mentor staff regularly. This impacts on staff ability to improve their professional development and become more effective in their role. Staff ensure that the premises are secure. Procedures are in place to ensure those collecting children are authorised to do so. The manager talks about the ideas they have in place for future developments. For example, working with parents to

expand their outdoor space. Partnerships with parents are effective and staff exchange information about children as they are collected.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with a wide range of activities. These offer children opportunities to demonstrate high levels of creativity and imagination as they design their own play. For example, using materials which connect together, children make sun glasses that they give to others to wear. Older and younger children work together to build a tower. This is used to see how tall children are in relation to the height of the tower. Staff support children's communication and language skills well. For example, they show children crayons which have softened in the sun and talk about the shapes they have made. Children are encouraged to imitate real life experiences. For example, they make a shop and are keen to serve people, take money and give change. This supports young children's mathematical skills of counting.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

There are weaknesses in leadership and management and this has an impact on children's experiences. Nevertheless, children are polite and play cooperatively. They share toys and resources easily and respect the needs of others. Without prompting older children involve younger children in their play. Staff talk very positively to children and boost their self- esteem very well as they help children to feel valued and important within their club. Older children are given responsibility for serving drinks and food at snack time. Younger children know to wash their hands before snack and happily wait their turn to be served. Children are self-assured and talk to visitors at the setting with confidence.
