n strengthen methods to share information with the school that children attend, to promote continuity of learning for individual children n foster a culture of continuous improvement based on rigorous monitoring of practice by making sure systems used for self-evaluation are robust and clearly identify and address key weaknesses in practice, and include the opinions and views of the parents, to improve outcomes for children.

p.3

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n Leadership and management discussions took place with the responsible person at appropriate times during the inspection and in a scheduled meeting. n The inspector observed activities and staff interactions with children indoors and outdoors. n The inspector looked at documentation, including a sample of children's records, and health and safety records, and checked the suitability of staff to work with children. n The inspector took account of the views of children and staff spoken to on the day of inspection.

p.3

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. Leaders demonstrate an insufficient understanding of their role and responsibilities to ensure children's safety. They do not carry out appropriate checks to ensure the ongoing suitability of staff. Leaders have failed to obtain Disclosure and Barring Service checks for all staff aged over 16 years. They do not have knowledge of offences that would disqualify them and therefore they do not ensure staff know what may deem them as unsuitable to work with children. Leaders do not follow their own procedures for supervising unchecked staff, who are regularly left in areas and rooms alone with children. This places children at significant risk. The arrangements for recruiting new staff are not robust and records are not available. The manager is not effective in her role and does not help staff understand theirs. For example, staff do not receive the vetting, induction and supervision they need, and family members do not go

p.4

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

through any recruitment or vetting processes. Leaders do not ensure that all staff have sufficient safeguarding knowledge to follow the club's policies and procedures to protect children adequately. Not all staff know the possible signs that a child is at risk, and what to do if they have concerns or the process to follow if leaders fail to take action. Some staff are unaware of procedures for reporting concerns about colleagues and there is an inappropriate culture of trust among some staff because they are related or family friends. These weaknesses compromise children's safety and well-being. Too little progress has been made to address the weaknesses raised at the last inspection and the manager does not demonstrate that she understands the requirements of the early years foundation stage. For example, she is not able to show that the provision has valid public liability insurance. She does not know how to keep children safe and well and does not

support children well enough in their learning.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Overall, the quality of teaching is satisfactory. Children benefit from an adequate range of indoor activities, some of which staff plan appropriately to match some children's interests. Some staff support children's social skills suitably by facilitating group games and helping them take turns and share. Staff promote some creative development through art activities where children design and make things. Staff encourage children to think and be independent. This encourages children to persevere and keep trying. Young children are proud of what they make and staff praise their efforts which boosts children's self-esteem and supports their personal, social and emotional development. Indoors, staff provide a welcoming environment that stimulates children and, overall, children enjoy participating in play activities. However, outdoors, staff fail to plan activities or resource environments, so many children choose not to go outside and those

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

that do can only play with a football or basic climbing apparatus. This limits children's access to outdoors and fresh air. Staff are not fully effective in working in partnership with the school. This means they do not consistently share information about all children in order to have shared approaches to teaching or offer complementary experiences.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Staff do not teach children how to have healthy lifestyles. For example, during play sessions, children can eat biscuits and chocolate pancakes freely, and takeaway pizzas are ordered for children's lunch because staff have not organised a meal for them. This does not support good health or help children learn about the importance of eating a balanced diet. The club continues to operate even when there is no member of staff working that has a suitable first-aid qualification. Despite this being raised as an action at the last inspection, staffing is still not arranged to ensure there is always a first aider working and available to assist a child in the event of an emergency. This puts children's welfare at significant risk. Staff gather information about children from parents to help children settle. Staff supply parents with key information and policy information, including how and whom to contact at the club. However, leaders do not ensure that

p.4

parents can contact the club because, at times, the manager chooses not to answer the telephone despite stating that this is the only contact line for parents.
