p.1

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

n Leaders have not met their responsibility to notify Ofsted of significant events that have occurred in relation to the childcare provided. n Leaders do not ensure they keep a written record of the outcome of complaints and what action has been taken to improve practice. n Staff do not gather enough information from parents about children when they first start, to help plan play experiences that fully reflect children's individual needs. n Self-evaluation processes are not rigorous enough. The management team acts on the advice of other early years professionals to help make changes to practice. However, it does not identify all areas for improvement, particularly in relation to breaches in requirements, to drive forward continuous improvement.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff are friendly, enthusiastic and form warm relationships with children. They support their emotional well-being effectively. Children are happy and confident. n Children behave well. Staff successfully share their expectations with children to help them learn what acceptable behaviour is. n Staff interact with children well. They support children's participation effectively, such as by joining in with activities and using questions to help encourage children to eagerly share their ideas. Children concentrate well.

n build on the information gathered from parents about children when they first start at the setting, to help plan play experiences that precisely support children's individual needs n develop the use of the self-evaluation process to carefully monitor the quality of the provision, and clearly identify and act on areas for improvement.

p.2

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Leaders monitor staff's interactions with children well and reflect on the quality of this effectively to help improve children's experiences. They provide opportunities for staff to develop their skills, such as providing training during their induction period, to help them develop their expertise. They recognise some strengths and areas for improvement in the setting's practice overall. However, they do not identify all weaknesses to improve all aspects of the provision further. Safeguarding is effective. The manager supports the staff in developing their safeguarding knowledge, such as through training. They all know how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of harm. The management team does not keep a written copy of the outcome of complaints it receives and the action it has taken in response to these.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are confident and keenly explore the safe and welcoming environment. They have opportunities to choose the activities they want to engage in and staff respond to their interests well. Staff develop children's conversation skills effectively, such as during group discussions, and encourage children to share what they think. Children are confident speakers. They have good opportunities to learn about diversity, for example, when exploring books that reflect other cultural backgrounds. Children learn to respect each other's differences and develop their understanding of different people in the community. Overall, staff work well with parents. For example, they keep parents well informed about the activities they provide for the children at the club. However, some staff do not gather enough information from parents about what their children can already do and activities they enjoy when they first start, to help them plan experiences

that fully support children's individual needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff effectively assess risks in all areas that children use, to identify and remove any hazards. However, leaders have failed to notify Ofsted of significant events that have occurred in the setting, such as a serious accident, or to inform Ofsted of the action taken following the accident. This does not have a significant impact on children's welfare as the management team made appropriate changes to practice following the event to ensure children's safety and prevent a reoccurrence. Staff teach children well about how to be healthy, for example, by discussing nutritious foods. Children have good opportunities to be active. They have opportunities to use climbing equipment and develop good physical skills. Children learn to manage their personal needs well and develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For instance, they learn the importance of washing their hands before they eat.
