This provision is inadequate

n The manager has failed to identify breaches to the statutory requirements for safeguarding and welfare. She has not taken sufficient action to address all concerns raised at the last inspection. She does not understand how to improve practice and has not sought support or guidance to help her make the changes needed. n The manager and staff do not access professional development opportunities to help improve their knowledge, skills or interactions with children. Consequently, children do not receive good-quality play experiences. n The manager does not have arrangements in place to supervise and monitor the practice of staff robustly. This means that staff do not receive the targeted support and coaching needed to raise the quality of their practice to a higher level. n The manager cannot demonstrate that public liability insurance is in place to cover all premises where childcare is provided. n Staff do not always provide a wide range of activities to help to motivate and engage

children in purposeful play. This means that some children wander around as they are unsure about what to do. n Staff do not effectively gain children's attention or make them listen during daily routines. This sometimes leads to a chaotic and loud environment.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff are friendly and welcoming. They help children to settle and build friendships. This helps to promote children's confidence and social and emotional well-being. n Staff have developed links with teachers at the schools they collect from. They pass on key information to help promote continuity in children's care.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector toured the club and accompanied staff as they collected children from school. n The inspector spoke with staff and children during the inspection. n The inspector completed a joint observation with the manager. n The inspector held a meeting with the manager and discussed systems for self- evaluation. She looked at relevant documentation, such as policies, procedures and insurances, staff training records and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club. n The inspector spoke to some parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The manager does not have a secure knowledge of the safeguarding and welfare requirements in the statutory framework. She has failed to recognise further breaches to these requirements. For example, she cannot show that public liability insurance is in place to cover all premises that are used for childcare. The manager has not reflected sufficiently on the quality of the club to help make the improvements needed. She does not supervise or monitor staff practice rigorously enough. Staff do not attend professional development opportunities to help improve their knowledge and skills and help to raise the quality of their practice to a good level. However, staff have attended child protection training. They can identify possible signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. They understand what action to take and who to share their concerns with. Staff have started to meet each month to discuss the

individual needs of the children and plan some ideas for activities. Overall, parents are complimentary about the club and state that staff are flexible, easy to approach and caring towards the children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

When children arrive at the club there are limited activities for them to choose from. Consequently, some children are unsure about what to do and are not engaged in purposeful play. Similarly, staff interactions with children are variable. For example, boys spend time building a castle with construction materials, yet staff are unsure about how to join in to make the play purposeful or extend their thinking. Staff have started to plan some activities to follow children's interests. For example, they hold talent shows and enjoy cinema evenings. Staff ask children what they would like to play with and bring extra resources out after children have eaten their tea. Children spend long periods of time being creative with craft materials. They make rainbows and draw pictures of their friends. Staff spend time reading books to younger children, and older children enjoy writing on the whiteboard while they create their own games. This helps children to

develop some key skills to support their learning in school, such as literacy. Children also, sometimes, complete their homework at the club.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff are not successful in gaining children's attention before they give instructions, such as asking the children to line up. Consequently, children do not always listen to staff and instead continue with what they are doing. Staff then raise their voices to be heard, which makes it loud and chaotic in the room at times. However, overall, children behave appropriately. Staff remind children about being kind to their friends and support them to share and take turns. Children enjoy spending time outdoors on the field where they play chasing games and practise their football and skipping skills. Children are reminded to wash their hands before eating and choose healthy snacks, such as vegetable sticks, for their tea. This helps to promote children's health and physical well-being. Staff remind children about road safety during the walk to and from school. They check the indoor and outdoor environment to identify and minimise potential risks to children.
