This provision is inadequate

n Children's welfare and safety are compromised. The provider, who is also the manager, does not take all necessary steps to keep children safe. She has not ensured that all staff have the required checks to verify their suitability to work with children. She does not make staff aware of the need to disclose any changes to their suitability. n The manager does not provide staff with effective induction and supervision to ensure they are clear about their roles and responsibilities. Although staff support children's play well, the manager fails to ensure that all staff understand the safeguarding policy and procedures. This puts children at significant risk. n The manager does not maintain an accurate record of children's hours of attendance. n Self-evaluation is not used effectively to identify weaknesses in practice and to improve the provision. n Staff do not fully consider how to help children to develop their awareness of making

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff provide children with opportunities to be active and they enjoy a variety of physical play outdoors. For example, children enjoy playing ball games with their friends and riding bikes. n Effective communication with the school means that staff can identify any areas where children may need more support to enable them to feel valued. They learn many skills that complement their learning at school. n Children are happy and secure. There is an effective key-person system in place and children's individual needs are met.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector visited areas of the premises used by the club. n The inspector held discussions with the manager and staff about the children's achievements, and how they engage in their play. n The inspector spoke to parents and children and took account of their views. n The inspector spoke with the manager and staff about their understanding of safeguarding. n The inspector sampled documentation, including policies, children's records and staff qualifications.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The manager has not followed safer recruitment procedures. She has not obtained suitability checks for staff working at the club. This means that children's safety cannot be ensured. The manager fails to provide all staff with effective induction and ongoing support to ensure they fully understand their roles and responsibilities relating to safeguarding matters. Staff are not clear about the procedures to report any concerns that they may have about a child's well-being or about another member of staff. The manager does not tell staff about their responsibility to disclose any changes that may affect their suitability to work with children. She fails to maintain all necessary records relating to children. She does not record the times of children's attendance. This means it is unclear which children are present at any given time. Self-evaluation is weak and has not identified breaches in requirements. As a

result, the quality of the provision has declined.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are happy, relaxed and enjoy the time they spend at the club. Staff regularly observe children and get to know their interests and achievements well. They provide children with a good range of fun activities that engage children successfully. Children enjoy being imaginative and making links with their own experiences. They develop story lines as they dress and care for baby dolls and talk about their families. They work well together to design and build houses out of construction equipment. Children benefit from opportunities to explore their mathematical understanding. They sustain their interest well as they play with sand and use the language of 'full and empty'. They enjoy friendly competitions to see who can fill their buckets first. This also supports their physical development successfully. Children develop their understanding of the world and particularly like using the laptops. They concentrate as they use controls to navigate

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership, management and safeguarding mean that the children's safety and welfare cannot be ensured. Children's good health is not prioritised. Staff do not provide children with clear messages about making healthy food choices. They allow children to eat sweets, lollipops, cakes and biscuits they have brought in from home. However, children develop their social skills and enjoy playing with others. For instance, they show a sense of team work as they play games together and support each other. Staff support children's behaviour effectively. Children are polite, considerate of others and respond well to the boundaries set. They make confident choices in their play and decide which activities they will have out.
