Inspection of The Catch St James Care Provision Ltd St. James C of E Primary School, Chadwick Street, GLOSSOP, Derbyshire SK13 8EF

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

Children share good relationships with staff in the setting. They smile as they show their artwork to adults, and confidently ask them questions about how to mix paint colours to make yellow. However, children's safety is put at risk in this setting. Staff do not have a secure knowledge of safeguarding procedures or how to report any concerns they may have. In addition, staff's professional development is not fully supported to help them to carry out their roles.

Children's behaviour is good. Some children chat and laugh with their friends as they wait patiently at tables for their tea to be served. Other children access specially provided cushioned areas to relax in and enjoy some quiet time after a busy school day. Children are free to move around the environment according to their individual preferences.

This provision does not meet requirements

Children benefit from a carefully set out environment with access to a variety of activities and resources, such as painting, construction and ball games. Children engage in activities of their own choosing and also enjoy joining in experiences provided by the staff. For example, some children enjoy being active outdoors, where they play football. Children who remain indoors create paintings of the Queen as part of the setting's Jubilee celebrations, while other children move between both the indoor and outdoor environment.

n Leaders are not clear on their responsibilities in relation to making notifications to Ofsted. They have failed to notify Ofsted of significant incidents that could affect the care they provide to children. For example, they have failed to contact Ofsted about periods of closure and incidents of COVID-19 in the setting. n Staff carry out daily safety checks of the environment and ensure resources are well maintained. A high latch has been added to the entrance door to prevent children admitting unauthorised visitors into the setting. Staff supervise children well. They position themselves carefully, both indoors and outdoors, to ensure they can oversee children at all times. n Staff provide children with accessible resources to support their learning. For example, when children ask what colours are in the Union Jack flag, staff encourage them to reference a book about flags and use the photos as a guide.

Children who enjoy finger painting are offered additional materials, such as cotton buds, to create different effects on their artwork. n Staff hold regular team meetings to reflect on any changes that can be made to the environment. For instance, to support children during busier sessions they provide quiet spaces where children can relax, read a story and use equipment,

27 May 2022 such as headphones. This approach improves the experiences of all children in the setting, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. n Leaders do not offer enough support to staff in their roles at the setting. Staff do not benefit from ongoing coaching and supervision. This lack of coaching from leaders means that staff do not have the opportunity to regularly evaluate their practice and identify further training needs to support their development. n Leaders ensure staff attend mandatory online training for their roles, including safeguarding and first aid. However, they do not check that staff's safeguarding knowledge is clear and remains up to date. As a result, their understanding of how to keep children safe is not secure. This potentially puts children in the setting at risk of harm. n Parents are happy with the setting and the care that their children receive. They

share important information about their child with staff via registration forms and ongoing discussions. Staff talk to parents about their own child on a daily basis as they drop off them off or as they collect them. Parents report that their children are happy to attend the club, and they feel confident in the care they receive.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff attend yearly safeguarding training and can identify signs of some of the different types of abuse. However, leaders do not carry out checks on staff knowledge and understanding of the setting's safeguarding policy. As a result, not all staff know how to correctly report concerns about children's safety to leaders in the setting and to external agencies. In addition to this, staff do not have sufficient knowledge of some areas of safeguarding, such as the 'Prevent' duty. They are not able to identify the signs that a child may be at risk of radicalisation and do not know how to report concerns in relation to this.
