p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n The manager and staff have not fully considered how to identify and manage possible risks to children in relation to the security of the premises. n Staff do not consistently find out about children's individual interests and experiences at school to tailor their care in the club. n Staff take time to organise the play environment, which means this is not always set up for play when children first arrive in the setting. As a result, children have to sit and wait for quite some time before this is ready for play.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children are relaxed and happy and say they enjoy their time at the club. Staff have warm and positive relationships with them. Children behave well and demonstrate care and respect for each other. They socialise with their friends and learn to support those younger than themselves. n Staff provide children with plenty of opportunities to develop their good health and physical development. Children benefit from the freedom of playing outdoors after school in the playground. Here they enjoy running, playing ball games and swinging hoops around their hips. n The providers and manager have a good understanding of their roles. They provide effective training and support for staff to help them update their knowledge and develop their skills. n Parents are positive about the club's facilities. They state that they value the service and feel reassured that their children are safe and have fun.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Staff's risk assessments are not robust. This is because staff do not identify areas of potential risk consistently. For example, they left low-level windows in classrooms open and a perimeter exit unlocked. This compromises children's safety. However, staff supervise children appropriately both indoors and outdoors to ensure they are safe. Safeguarding is effective. The providers have thorough recruitment procedures, induction and mentoring processes. These help to ensure staff's ongoing suitability to work with children. The staff are confident in identifying potential signs and symptoms of abuse and all have completed training in child protection as well as wider safeguarding issues. They understand how to contact other agencies if they have any concerns about children. Staff complete clear and thorough accident records. They share these with parents, to ensure they are fully informed about any incidents that occur in the club. In

the short time the setting has been open, the providers have put in place clear procedures to coach, guide and support staff to improve their skills. The provider offers staff good support for continued development, such as first aid and food hygiene. This has a positive impact on children's safety and welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use knowledge gained from their childcare qualification or experience to support children's learning well. They support the children to explore their creative skills. For example, children use the play dough to create their own 'biscuits'. Staff encourage the children to talk about the patterns they have made and the 'flavours' they have added. This also supports children's mathematical skills. Children have good spoken skills and speak confidently to visitors. They say that they like the art and craft activities and playing football outdoors as well as playing with their friends. Children show good dexterity as they handle and use a range of construction items to build towers and structures. Staff encourage the children to extend their ideas and thinking skills. They ask children pertinent questions such as 'how do you think you can make it straight?' or 'what else might you need to make it taller?'

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff do not promote children's safety consistently. They do not identify or address all possible risks to children. However, children enter the club full of enthusiasm and chatter. They are confident, know the routines well and demonstrate positive well-being. For example, children greet staff, place their bags and coats in the allocated area and sit at tables. Children access all available play spaces freely and easily, both indoors and outdoors. They interact well with their peers of all age groups. Children enjoy team games and older children include younger children in their play. Staff teach children how to use hula hoops. They commend younger children as they persevere with this task, praising them highly when they succeed in spinning the hoops around and around. Staff encourage children to help complete self-care tasks and daily routines independently. For example, children wash their hands before handling food and use tissues when needed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff provide a healthy cooked meal that children enjoy each evening. The meals contribute to children's good health. Children are polite and courteous to each other and to staff. They help to tidy up after snack time and enjoy taking responsibility for the club.
