p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The provider has failed to satisfactorily address the actions raised at the previous inspection. As a result, the provider continues to not meet all the legal requirements. n The provider does not ensure that at least one member of staff who accompanies children on outings, such as collecting children from school, holds an up-to-date paediatric first-aid qualification. This compromises children's safety. n Risk assessments do not promote children's welfare. The premises are not always secure, and some hazards in the store cupboards are accessible to children. n Not all staff have a secure understanding of how to protect children who may be exposed to extreme views and behaviours. n Children's behaviour is not always managed effectively. Not all staff consistently implement the behaviour management policy. This means that some children do not learn about appropriate ways to behave, adhere to club rules and keep safe.

p.1

This provision is inadequate

n Staff do not always ensure that children follow appropriate handwashing routines to minimise the spread of germs before they have their snack. Additionally, during some snack times, staff do not help children to understand how to keep safe when eating food.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children make their own choices in their play. They enjoy extending their writing skills with pens, crayons and paper, and play imaginatively with the train track and small- world characters. n Children are happy and settled. They have secure attachments with adults.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed children engaged in activities. n The inspector spoke to parents and children and took account of their views. n The inspector involved the owner/manager in her observations of the quality of care and play experiences provided for children. n The inspector sampled a range of documentation relating to safeguarding, children's well-being, children's personal records and behaviour management policy.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The provider has not done enough to address all the previous actions and further weaknesses are now evident. Although the provider states that staff have attended paediatric first-aid training, there are no qualification certificates to evidence this. This means that children still travel to the club with a member of staff who does not hold a current paediatric first-aid qualification. This compromises children's safety. The arrangements for safeguarding are ineffective. The provider does not ensure that the premises are secure. Unsupervised older children use a key code to access the premises where the children are being cared for. This system does not keep children safe as the key code could then be passed on to allow other individuals access to the premises. Risk assessments are not robust. Staff do not implement effective safety strategies in the areas where children play. Store cupboard doors and shutters are open, exposing

children to hazards. Some staff do not have a secure knowledge and understanding of what to do should a child be exposed to radical or extreme views. Overall, the provider does not ensure children are protected. That said, all staff are clear about the procedure to follow if they are concerned a child is being abused or neglected. The provider oversees staff performance by completing regular supervisions and annual appraisals. The provider welcomes feedback from staff, parents and children. She takes into account their comments when evaluating the quality of the service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The staff management of children's behaviour, at times, has a negative impact on how children play. That said, children enjoy the opportunities they have to play with the range of resources indoors. Staff engage well with children during construction activities. Children are effective communicators and take the lead in activities. Staff encourage other children to join in and help their friends build a long line of construction. Children respond positively and extend their own imagination. They excitedly report that the construction line has turned into a 'bean stalk'. Children count backwards. They count the time down to find another piece to fit on the construction line. Children have fun. Staff give children time to wind down from school. They talk with them about what they have done at school. Staff work well with the school the children attend. They gather information about the child and what they have learned at school. Staff also share this

information with parents. This helps to build on the continuity of care and also support the interests of the child.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in safeguarding children and promoting their welfare mean that the provider cannot ensure each child's well-being. Staff do not manage children's behaviour well enough. They do not consistently help children learn about the club rules and what behaviour is appropriate. For example, in the sports hall, children hide behind dividers that store climbing apparatus. Furthermore, staff do not consistently promote the health of children. They do not encourage children to wash their hands before every snack time. Additionally, some children run around the dining room with food before they are reminded by staff to sit down. Overall, this means that children's safety is not assured. That said, children build on their friendships from school and play cooperatively. Some children practise their gymnastic skills and staff supervise them closely.
