Inspection of Tiger Club Nabb Junior and Infant School, Cartworth Road, HOLMFIRTH, West Yorkshire HD9 2RG

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

Children do not have a designated key person who builds a partnership with their parents or tailors care to their individual needs. Staff do not know children well enough to ensure that their needs are met, including those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Overall, interactions between staff and children are poor. Despite this, the majority of children are content and settled in the club. In general, they behave well. However, their sense of security is misplaced due to weaknesses in safeguarding. Children enjoy choosing from a wide range of resources. They engage in physical play, such as riding bicycles and climbing on tyres. They like painting and baking. Children enjoy role play with baby dolls. They use construction toys to make spaceships.

This provision does not meet requirements

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, staff have prioritised cleanliness and hygiene routines at the club. Children wash their hands on entry before doing anything else. The environment, resources and equipment are clean. The pandemic has had a significant impact on staffing, and the leadership and management of the setting. New leaders are working with the local authority to develop action plans. Some changes have been made to improve children's safety during the school collection and outdoor play. However, other actions are not implemented quickly or effectively enough to deliver the significant improvements required.

7 February 2022 interest. On occasions, this gives rise to unwanted behaviour such as throwing toys. Staff remind children of the club rules. However, these are sometimes forgotten. For example, noise levels soon increase and staff and children shout to be heard. This creates an extremely loud environment where staff and children struggle to be heard or to concentrate. n Leaders have not implemented effective arrangements to support children with SEND. They do not liaise with parents or relevant professionals to ensure that children's individual needs are met. Children do not receive good levels of support from staff. This means that most of the time, children play alone and do not benefit from positive interactions. n Overall, parents are positive about the club. They say that their children enjoy time with their friends and have opportunities to mix with older children. Parents say that staff are enthusiastic and they appreciate the service they provide.

Safeguarding

Leaders do not ensure that policies and procedures to protect children are kept up to date. Leaders have not trained new staff to understand their safeguarding policy and procedures or ensured they have up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding issues. Despite this, staff demonstrate a suitable knowledge of how to keep children safe. They can identify signs of possible abuse and neglect. From their experience in previous roles, they know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child or an adult. Staff help children to understand how to keep themselves safe, such as only accessing media and materials that are suitable for their age.
