Previous inspection Requires improvement

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

Children at the club are provided with a hot meal as well as a snack. They respond well when they are told that it is time for their evening meal. Children sit with their friends at the large table. They patiently wait for their name to be called to collect their food and line up well. Those children who do not want to have hot food are provided with an alternative. Children are confident to ask staff for more food if they wish. However, staff do not have high enough expectations for children's behaviour throughout the rest of the session. As a result, children are unable to regulate their own behaviour and accidents happen.

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff arrive before the start of each session. They risk assess the premises as they organise the room, this ensures that the areas used by the children are safe. Staff set up the indoor hall with resources so that children can access activities as soon as they arrive. However, they do not seek the views of children when deciding which activities to make available.

This provision does not meet requirements

Children say that they enjoy their time at the club. For example, they say they like football and playing with their friends. They talk about the different foods they have, and which are their favourites. Children also say that they would feel comfortable to tell a member of staff if something was worrying them.

need to do better?

n Staff do not provide children with enough resources or adult interaction during their attendance at the club. This results in children becoming disinterested with the activities on offer. As a result, they run around the setting and do not use the equipment appropriately. For example, children throw play bricks. n Staff do not manage children's behaviour consistently. For example, when children run around the setting, staff occasionally remind them to be careful. However, they do not consider children's safety and ask them to stop running. Staff do not manage the noise levels in the club. This impacts on those children who wish to take part in quieter activities such as reading. n Staff complete a register of children's attendance. Two members of staff who are deployed in the hall and outdoor area the record times children arrive. They ensure accurate times are recorded. Children confirm they are present as their

Staff miss opportunities during routines such as mealtimes, as they do not talk to children about the benefits of a healthy diet. In addition, children do not always have access to fresh drinking water. n Staff do not benefit from regular meetings with leaders.

14 January 2020 personal development. n Staff are not consistent in their approach regarding the recording of accidents that happen to children while they are in attendance. As a result, not all accidents are documented. n Leaders have not ensured that the key-person system for younger children is effective. The care provided to these children is not individually tailored to meet their needs. For example, younger children do not get the opportunity to have any quiet time with key staff. n Staff speak with the school that the younger children attend and gather information about their learning. However, staff do not use this information to provide care which complements the children's development. n Staff do not share regular and relevant information with parents about their children. They do not inform parents about their children's day or share information such as the food they have eaten. n Staff do not help children to understand how to use technology safely. They do

not help children to learn about the importance of online safety when they are not at the club. Staff do not provide opportunities for children to gain an understanding of diversity and the wider world. n Leaders evaluate the service they offer, taking into account the views of staff. They are considering how to use the space and the resources on offer more effectively.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Leaders and staff recognise the different signs and symptoms that would indicate a child may be at risk of harm. Staff know to share any concerns that they may have about a child's welfare with managers. Staff recognise what adult behaviours would be inappropriate and they know who to contact should this be a concern. Staff recognise that there might be a concern about a child if they do not attend when planned. Staff follow this up with parents to seek explanations. This ensures that children are safe and accounted for.
