The provision is inadequate

n Leaders do not ensure that all relevant documentation is accessible and available for inspection. They cannot demonstrate that all adults working with children have completed the required suitability checks. Therefore, children's safety is compromised. n Staff do not have up-to-date safeguarding knowledge. They do not have a secure understanding of the legislation to protect children from harm or the correct procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child in their care or a member of staff. n Leaders are not clear about the procedures to follow in the event of an allegation being made against a member of staff. n Staff do not keep accurate daily records of the children on the premises, including the times that they arrive and leave the setting. n Leaders have not put appropriate arrangements in place to support staff's professional development. Supervision, training and coaching are not robust enough. Staff are not

supported to understand their roles and responsibilities. n Leaders and staff have given insufficient consideration to risks associated with delivering and collecting children from school. For example they have not agreed what they should do if a child has an accident or sustains an injury and there is no one first- aid trained with the children. n Young children are not assigned a key person to ensure that care is tailored to their individual needs during their time at the club.

It has the following strengths

n Children learn about the importance of being kind and accepting of others, and these values are embedded in the club. Children are kind and behave well. Staff are good role models and are attentive towards children.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Leaders do not use evaluation well enough to identify and address weaknesses in the provision. This results in breaches of statutory requirements. Safeguarding is not effective. The leaders do not ensure that all required documentation is available for inspection at all times. Records relating to the vetting procedures for all staff were not available for inspection. Therefore, the leaders were unable to demonstrate that children are cared for by suitable people. Staff have a suitable knowledge of some signs of potential abuse. However, some staff do not know the procedures to follow or who to report to should they have safeguarding concerns about a child or another member of staff. Furthermore, staff do not have a clear understanding of how to recognise and prevent children from being exposed to radicalisation or extremist views. This compromises children's safety. The leaders do not know the correct procedures to follow

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

if an allegation is made about a member of staff. Arrangements for staff supervision and professional development are not effective. Leaders do not sufficiently monitor staff's practice and provide them with regular supervision sessions to help them improve their personal effectiveness, childcare skills, or identify training needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Young children are not allocated a key person. Staff do not get to know the young children well to ensure that they tailor their care and support to meet children's individual needs. Despite this, children show affection towards the staff and involve them in their play. Staff encourage children to collaborate and consider each other's views. Older children are encouraged to teach younger children the rules of card and board games so that they can join in. Older children enjoy the responsibility of guiding their younger peers. Staff promote children's creativity through art activities. Children eagerly draw and design. Children are proud of what they make. Children confidently speak to the inspector. They say that they have fun at the club and enjoy attending.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management mean the setting does not assure children's welfare. Risk assessments for transferring children between the setting and school do not include action to take in the event of a serious accident or emergency. Not all groups of children are accompanied by qualified first aiders and unqualified staff say they would treat injuries. Staff fail to record the times of children's attendance, as required. Nonetheless, staff supervise the children effectively and ensure that children's whereabouts are monitored. They talk to children about safety and supervise them closely. This helps children to learn about keeping themselves and others safe. Children enjoy sitting together at mealtimes to talk about their day. They talk confidently about what types of food are healthy and the benefits of a balanced diet. Children follow good hygiene routines and are aware of the need to wash their hands before meals and
