This has a significant impact on children's safety. n The manager and staff do not keep an accurate record of the hours that children attend the club. Children are not signed out as they leave the premises, meaning that staff do not have an accurate record of who is on the premises at any time.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The manager and staff do not ensure that they have the appropriate information for each child who attends the club. The manager is aware if children have dietary needs and a serious allergy. However, this is information is not recorded and made available and accessible to staff. Information has not been recorded by parents due to registration forms not being completed for all children. This has serious implications for children's health and well-being. The manager and staff are aware of child protection matters. They know the procedures that they should follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The provider follows secure procedures to ensure that the adults working with children are safe and suitable. However, she does not offer the manager and staff the support and coaching that they need. The manager does not understand her responsibilities, such as the importance in

maintaining accurate records of children's attendance. Staff do not have support to raise the quality of their interactions with children. The provider and manager have not evaluated the service they are providing accurately, and they have not identified the serious breaches to the requirements and weaknesses in staff practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The quality of interactions between staff and children is variable. Some staff spend time hovering over children and need support to develop the effectiveness of their interactions. Partnerships with parents are not used effectively to help staff to gain an understanding of children's needs and interests. The manager has created secure links with the host school. For example, she is developing a working partnership with the teachers to support children with special educational needs. Children are happy, and staff encourage them to make their own choices about what they would like to play with. Children work well together as they create their own large advent calendar. Staff provide activities to help children to learn about the wider world and the beliefs of people from backgrounds different to their own.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in the leadership and management put children's welfare at risk. Information and records are not maintained to ensure that staff have a suitable understanding of children's individual care needs. The manager and staff do not recognise the importance of maintaining accurate records of attendance. Staff support children to make healthy choices. They provide children with a healthy snacks and children benefit from fresh air and exercise. Staff help children to learn to manage their feelings and behaviour appropriately. Children behave well.
