This provision is inadequate

n Practitioners do not understand the safeguarding policy. They do not know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about children's welfare, or the behaviour of other practitioners. They do not understand their responsibly to protect children, who are not adequately safeguarded as a result. n Induction procedures are not effective. Practitioners do not have enough support to fully understand their roles and responsibilities at the club. This raises significant concerns about children's safety. n Despite an action set at the previous inspection, the manager still has not made effective arrangements to carry out practitioners' supervisory sessions. She continues to fail to support their professional development and knowledge, and to identify training requirements. n The manager cannot provide evidence regarding all practitioners' suitability and training. She is unable to demonstrate how she ensures the safe management of the

It has the following strengths

n Practitioners build effective links with parents and share ongoing information about children's needs. Parents praise the practitioners' caring practice with children. n Since the last inspection, the manager has been developing a system of self-evaluation. She asks children and parents for their views and makes changes to improve children's experiences.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. Although practitioners have a sound awareness of signs that may indicate a child is being abused, they are unclear about how to report their concerns. Neither the manager nor practitioners understand the club's safeguarding policy. They are not secure about their responsibility to protect children. Recruitment procedures are poor. The manager does not ensure that all practitioners are vetted to work with children and records are not readily available relating to practitioners' suitability. The manager does not have a rigorous approach to the induction and supervision of practitioners. This means that practitioners are not always offered support, coaching and training to fully understand their roles and responsibilities with children. Since the last inspection, the manager provided practitioners with training in paediatric first aid to ensure children's safety. She has also taken steps to find out the

views of parents and children, which are now evaluated and used to ensure the ongoing improvements to the experiences of children. The manager risk assesses the environment and takes steps to ensure it is safe for children to play and explore.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time in the club. They settle quickly to their chosen play and make choices about what activities they want to take part in. Practitioners find out about children's interests and provide activities that build on these. For example, children made ballerinas with card, tissue paper and sequins. They talked excitedly about dancing, and skilfully used scissors as they glued and stuck with increasing accuracy. Children enjoy digital board games, provided by practitioners because children enjoy them at school breaks. This shows that practitioners know children well, and support them effectively in their play. Children have friendly conversations about their families, friends and their interests at home. Practitioners encourage young children's communication skills. They ask questions and give children time to think through and express their responses. Practitioners encourage older children to be kind and gentle with the younger ones. For

example, they play rhyming and clapping games with them, and help them to peel their fruit at snack time. Practitioners work well in partnership with teachers at the school, so that learning can be continued in the club.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in safeguarding compromise children's welfare and do not fully support their well-being. However, practitioners are attentive towards children, who are polite and helpful, particularly between age groups. Children are confident with visitors. They happily explain why they like coming to the club and talk about the fun they have with their friends and the toys they like to play with. Practitioners manage children's behaviour well, using a rhythmic hand-clapping that children are taught to notice and join in with when their voices are getting too loud. They closely supervise children and monitor their safety. Practitioners ensure children are active and they provide a range of outdoor experiences to extend children's physical skills, such as chasing games. Children follow routines that contribute to their good health. For example, they wash their hands before they eat their snack.
