It has the following strengths

n The provider has failed to follow the correct procedures for supplying Ofsted with the required information regarding all members of the committee. Consequently, the suitability of several committee members has not been assessed, which compromises children's safety and welfare. n Staff do not always make the best use of opportunities that support children in expressing their ideas and becoming even further involved in the club. n The recruitment of staff is robust as all necessary checks are carried out to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. n Daily safety checks are carried out to ensure that the environment remains safe and secure. Parents say that the club is well organised and that their children really enjoy attending. n Staff make good use of opportunities to encourage children's awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. This includes opportunities for them to grow fresh fruit and

vegetables. Children enjoy trying foods from around the world, as staff go out of their way to cook traditional snacks from other cultures. n Children's confidence is nurtured very well by staff who help them to achieve and develop social skills, such as taking turns and joining in team games. They gently remind children about behaviour expectations. Staff give children lots of praise for their efforts and achievements. This helps children to develop good levels of self-esteem.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of staff interaction and play during activities and assessed the impact this has on children's development. n The inspector held a number of discussions with the manager, staff and children. n The inspector looked at relevant documentation, including evidence of the suitability of persons working with children. The inspector also spoke with the manager about how she reflects on practice. n The inspector took account of the views of parents through discussions during the inspection process and written feedback they provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The provider has failed to notify Ofsted of new committee members. This means Ofsted has not been able to complete suitability checks to ensure every individual is suitable for their role. Staff know how to recognise possible signs and symptoms of abuse. They know the procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child's welfare. Staff supervise children closely and have appropriate procedures to ensure all areas used by the children are safe and secure. The manager regularly reflects on her practice and that of her staff, to identify and target areas for further development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children they care for well. They offer children a balance of adult-led and spontaneous activities to promote their play. This helps motivate children to learn and have fun. Children thoroughly enjoy daily opportunities to play outside. They have great fun developing their coordination and physical fitness as they play football or use large equipment to climb and balance. Children enjoy challenging staff to take part in tabletop games. For example, they thoroughly enjoy the race to match a row of four connecting coloured counters in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. Staff encourage children to talk about their day at school and other events in their lives. This helps to support children's communication and language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's welfare and safety are not assured. Nevertheless, children demonstrate they are happy and enjoy attending the setting. Staff are warm, welcoming and friendly. They interact well with children and encourage them to choose games and toys that they would like to play with, from the well-resourced store cupboard. Staff regularly share information about children's care with their parents and teachers at the school. This ensures that the individual needs of all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are met. Children listen when instructions are given, get on well with other children and learn to play cooperatively.
