This provision is inadequate

n Although staff have completed safeguarding training, leaders do not check their knowledge and understanding to ensure that they carry out their role effectively. n Staff do not complete robust risk assessments to ensure that children are always safe and not exposed to avoidable hazards, particularly when on outings away from the main setting, such as swimming. n The provider has failed to notify Ofsted of a change to the nominated individual responsible for the club. Therefore, relevant checks have not been completed to establish if they are suitable. n Leaders do not have appropriate arrangements in place to support the professional development of staff. Staff supervision and training are not vigorous enough. Staff are not fully supported to understand their roles and responsibilities. n Staff do not provide appropriate activities to keep children interested and engaged. Children do not have opportunities to make independent choices in their play.

p.1

This provision is inadequate

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children's behaviour is good. They demonstrate a good understanding of the need to be kind to others, follow the club rules and play well alongside other children. n Partnerships with parents are good. Parents and carers report that they appreciate the support and guidance provided by the staff and find them welcoming and approachable.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector viewed the areas of the premises used by children. n The inspector observed the staff and children during activities. n The inspector viewed relevant documentation, including evidence of staff suitability, paediatric first-aid training and public liability insurance. n The inspector spoke to staff during the inspection about their understanding of how to safeguard children. n The inspector held a meeting with the children's activities manager and the area manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. Children's safety and well-being are compromised. Staff do not ensure that they protect children's privacy and help to keep them safe. For example, when children get undressed to go swimming, staff do not ensure that they close cubicle doors to prevent the general public from seeing the children. Although staff have completed safeguarding training, their overall understanding of how to keep children safe is not good enough. Staff do not demonstrate a good knowledge of current government guidance to help them to keep children safe. For example, not all staff fully understand the signs indicating that a child may be at risk of being exposed to extreme views. The provider has failed to notify Ofsted of a change to the nominated individual. Although the individual does not work directly with the children, he is involved in making important decisions about how the club is managed and operates, and not all checks

have been completed to establish his suitability. Leaders do not use self-evaluation systems effectively, to review the overall effectiveness of the practice within the club, set targets and maintain good standards overall. They do not provide staff with effective support and coaching to develop their personal effectiveness. However, leaders do seek the views of children and parents to help make improvements. For instance, they ask the children what activities they would like to do when at the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The quality of staff interactions with children is not good enough. Some activities lack enough challenge and are not tailored to individual children's interests. Staff miss opportunities to talk to children, encourage them to use their imaginations and develop their own ideas. During planned activities, such as swimming, staff fail to occupy children while they wait. Children do not benefit from good-quality attention to help them to build on their confidence and social skills. For example, although staff sit with children as they colour pictures, they do not interact with them to build on their interests. Nevertheless, children are supported well to develop their physical skills and participate in regular exercise. For instance, they enjoy using large soft-play apparatus and swimming.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management compromise children's welfare. Staffing arrangements do not meet the children's needs efficiently, to help keep them safe. Staff do not recognise when children need privacy, because they do not have a suitable understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Children's welfare is not given priority and risk assessments are not robust enough to help identify potential risks to children. Leaders and managers have not identified potential risks relating to children using communal changing areas that are shared with the general public. Staff do not promote children's well-being and personal development effectively. For example, they do not challenge members of the public when they speak to children in a derogatory manner. This could have a significant negative impact on children's self-confidence and emotional welfare. Nevertheless, children demonstrate friendly behaviour and have a good
