This provision is inadequate

n The provider does not ensure that the premises are secure at all times to prevent unauthorised persons from entering the areas of the village hall that children use. n Management and staff have not built successful partnerships with the Reception class teachers of all the schools they serve. Information is not routinely exchanged about children's interests, learning and development. This limits the staff's ability to establish a joint approach to managing any concerns.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n The management team is aware of the strengths of the setting. Staff write an end of day report each day to review and feedback the activities that children have taken part in. They identify resources they may need for future activity ideas, based on the children's interests. n Staff provide a varied range of resources and activities that stimulate children's motivation to play and enjoy their time in the setting. Children have free access to the garden where they can select activities that promote all areas of play and learning. They are able to ask for any toys or resources that are not out and staff provide them. n Children know what is expected of them and respond well to the consistent behavioural boundaries. Children play harmoniously together and invite others to join in their games. n Staff build good relationships with the children. Children confidently go to them for a chat and for support with activities. This effectively supports children's confidence to

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed activities in the playground and the classroom used by the setting. n The inspector spoke with staff at appropriate times throughout the inspection. n The inspector looked at a selection of policies and records. n The inspector held a meeting with the provider and co-manager. n The inspector checked evidence of the suitability and qualifications of staff working with children. n We carried out this inspection as a result of the risk assessment process following information we received about the setting.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The provider does not ensure that the premises are always secure. On evenings, when the social club is running, members of the public can enter the areas used by children from the social-club bar. This means that children's safety is not assured. Despite this, staff do have a secure understanding of child protection procedures. They are aware of the indicators of abuse and know how to report concerns. Children attending the setting come from a number of local primary schools. Staff have built acceptable partnerships with the adjacent school to the village hall where the setting is based. However, they have not built the same partnerships with the Reception class teachers of all the schools they serve. Information is not routinely shared to enable staff to continue to monitor any concerns. The provider and staff build strong partnerships with parents. They share information with parents and pass on messages

from school. There is a programme of supervision for all staff, designed to support their practice. Staff are encouraged in their professional development. For example, one member of staff is working towards a level 2 qualification.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are effective in supporting and facilitating children's play. They readily extend activities to promote children's play and enjoyment. For example, when children are playing with bubble wands, this activity is extended to use a 'tuff tray' and hoops, and children are encouraged to take turns to create giant bubbles. Children enjoy the company of staff and have the opportunity to be active or quiet. Children readily explore art and craft activities. For example, when staff show them how to make a fan, children develop their individual creativity as they decorate their fan using pens, sequins and other collage materials. Staff support children's decisions about what they want to do. Children are asked for their views about the activities that are offered and make suggestions about future activities. Staff take these requests into account when planning and purchasing new resources.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weakness in safeguarding has a negative impact on children's well-being. However, children are happy and settled in this welcoming and friendly setting. They build secure emotional attachments to staff. Children take responsibility for their own behaviour and play happily together. For example, older boys play a ball game with a scoop. They count spontaneously as they throw the ball to see how many times they can exchange it before it is dropped. Children enjoy the company of others and understand the need to share and take turns. They are familiar with the consistent routines that are designed to promote their independence and sense of belonging. Staff provide a light tea and children have a choice about what they eat and drink. Fresh drinking water is kept readily available and children can easily help themselves to a drink. They manage their own personal hygiene needs confidently.
