p.1

The provision is inadequate

n The provider has failed to notify Ofsted of a change to the person who manages the setting. n The provider has not taken appropriate action to ensure children's safety. When asked, children state they do not feel safe at the club. However, the provider has not acted on these views.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff have addressed most of the issues raised at the last inspection. Staff who hold paediatric first aid are deployed to ensure that any accidents are dealt with appropriately. They obtain consent to administer medication to children from their parents. n Staff complete mandatory training, such as safeguarding children and paediatric first aid, to maintain their knowledge of current legislation and practice. n Staff communicate with parents about their child's day. They share policies and procedures with parents, which reflect the setting's ethos of care. n Children engage in a variety of age-appropriate activities that interests and challenges them, helping them in practising the skills they are gaining in school.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed activities in all of the play areas and conducted a joint observation with the manager. n The inspector checked evidence of suitability and qualifications of staff working within the setting, the provider's evidence of self-evaluation and a range of other documentation. n The inspector spoke to several parents and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. Staff have not acted on the written views of children attending the setting who state that they do not feel safe inside or in the garden. While they have sought the views of children, they have not acted on them to identify why and take effective action to address the issue. Despite this, staff are aware of the potential signs of harm and neglect and the procedures for sharing a concern about a child in their care. The provider does not follow mandatory procedures to inform Ofsted about changes to the management of the setting. However, the manager previously worked in the setting as a practitioner and, therefore, the changes do not have a significant impact on children's well-being. Appropriate recruitment procedures are in place and all staff complete required Disclosure and Barring Services checks. Routines for monitoring staff practice are in place. Security has been addressed

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

and children are unable to leave the setting unsupervised. Staff identify potential hazards and take appropriate steps to minimise these.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Children build relationships with staff and their peers from the start. They share their ideas and staff consider these and children's interests when planning activities. Children use a good variety of resources that supports their creativity, play and imagination well. They show good dexterity and use scissors, glue sticks and different materials when being creative, such as when making a model of a mouse. Children confidently write their own name on their artwork. Staff ask questions to encourage children to explain their ideas and they effectively support children when they ask for help. Children delight in playing board games with staff and their peers, and confidently explain the rules of the games to others. They enjoy role play. Children use different props and dressing-up outfits in their play. They work well together to create their own small plays that they present to the rest of the group.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management have an impact on the overall well-being of children. Staff have failed to act on comments children have made about feeling safe. Children understand what acceptable behaviour is and staff promote positive behaviour and kindness towards one another. Children share toys between themselves and learn to negotiate through play. Older children invite younger children to become involved in their games and activities. Children learn about foods that are beneficial to their bodies, and snacks of toast and fruit are available as well as fresh drinking water throughout the day. They enjoy physical activities, such as ball games and swimming each week. Children are independent in their personal needs and understand the importance of hygiene routines, especially at mealtimes.
