p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n Young children do not routinely have sufficient planned support from a key person to meet their individual care needs. n The managers do not ensure that all staff receive induction training to secure their understanding of their roles and responsibilities. n Children do not routinely do things for themselves to develop their independence skills. n The manager does not sharply evaluate on the quality of provision, to develop and extend the practice further, based on the children's needs.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The manager carries out daily checks to make sure areas used by children are safe and secure. This ensures children's safety is maintained as they move around the school to access various activities. n Staff give children praise and celebrate their achievements during play. n Children have regular opportunities to develop their physical skills inside and outside. For example, they compete against each other using the assault course. n Parents speak positively about the club. They comment that they have access to information about the activities their children experience. Parents have the opportunity to give feedback to managers. n Children arrive eager and ready to learn. They engage well with their peers. During free play, staff provide a stimulating learning environment with a range of resources.

p.2

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector sampled a range of documents available, including those related to premises, staff suitability and safeguarding. n The inspector spoke to a number of parents during the inspection and took account of their views. n The inspector spoke with staff and children during the inspection. n The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities, and assessed the impact this had on children's development and motivation.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The provider completes effective suitability checks, including Disclosure and Barring Service checks, before staff work with children. This helps to keep children safe. Managers provide some support for staff. For example, through induction days. However, they do not fully communicate information about children with staff. In addition, a key person is not assigned to ensure children's individual needs are met. This does not help to assure children's welfare and emotional well-being. Staff have appropriate skills or qualifications and complete safeguarding training. They have an up-to-date knowledge of how to help keep children safe. Safeguarding is effective. Staff know the signs and symptoms of possible abuse. They know how to respond if they have a concern about a child in their care. Managers do not evaluate the service they provide sufficiently enough to continue to drive improvements forward.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Children comment that they enjoy their time at the club. They take part in a wide range of activities throughout the day. Staff do not always share relevant information about the children in their care with sessional staff. This does not support continuity of children's care and development. Teaching is variable. Furthermore, the quality of planned sessions is not consistently good enough for the youngest children. Children develop their imaginative skills. They show this when they build parks and cities using construction toys. Older children make paper aeroplanes and confidently write letters and notes using the creative area. Staff support children during sports activities. Children listen well to instructions and take part in mixed-aged team games. This helps them to face new challenges. Although children do not have many opportunities during some sessions and tasks to do things for themselves, older children enjoy learning the colours of the French

flag and making streamers using tissue paper. Younger children follow the adults' lead as they sing in Spanish and learn key words during action songs. This helps children to learn about communities beyond their own experience.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children enjoy developing their communication skills during mealtimes, which are relaxed and sociable. Staff provide children with nutritious breakfasts and snacks. They learn about healthy eating through discussions when they eat their packed lunches. However, staff do not consistently remind children of healthy processes, such as washing their hands before breakfast and snack times. Therefore, children do not consistently learn good hygiene habits. Children behave well and are kind and respectful to one another. They understand daily routines and how to keep safe, such as carefully lining up to go to activities in different rooms. Children engage in activities that teach them about people in the wider world. However, staff do not provide enough age-appropriate challenges during some sessions. For example, during craft activities staff complete tasks for children. Therefore, children do not have sufficient opportunities to develop their
