This provision does not meet requirements

Overall, children are happy when they arrive at the club, and they are eager to greet their friends. However, children's safety is compromised. Leaders do not ensure staff understand safeguarding policies and procedures. Staff are not able to identify children who may be being abused or know what to do to act upon any concerns they may have.

This provision does not meet requirements

Generally, children enjoy the games planned and organised by staff. Children particularly enjoy being in the outdoor area where they can play different games together, such as ball and team games. Children develop their physical skills as they run and throw balls to each other, and they often work well as part of a team. Older children compliment younger children's artwork and encourage them to display their work. Despite this, quieter children or those who struggle to join in do not receive the support they need to participate fully. Children know the rules of the club and eagerly recite them when asked. However, they do not always listen to instructions, which leads to staff raising their voices. This means children's overall experience at the club is variable.

n Leaders ensure that the setting's safeguarding policy is up to date, contains accurate information, such as contact details of key professionals, and is displayed. However, ineffective induction, supervision, monitoring and ongoing training do not ensure that staff fully understand the correct procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's safety and welfare, or if an allegation is made about a member of staff. n Leaders follow safe recruitment procedures. For example, they check the suitability of staff. This helps to ensure that all staff working with children are suitable to do so. However, ongoing monitoring of staff is not effective because some staff do not understand their roles and responsibilities. n The manager successfully completes daily checks of the environment, indoors and outdoors, and has adapted the routine to ensure that it is safe for children and staff. n At times, children are poorly occupied. Some resources on offer do not interest

them. Activities are not linked to children's individual interests and do not engage them. Staff do not interact well with children and are not positive role models. Children's behaviour is not managed effectively. Staff raise their voice to children to engage them to listen, follow instructions and cooperate in team games. This does not promote children's self-esteem and confidence. n Staff support children to make healthy choices at snack time. However, when children have their fruit snack, staff do not provide children with individual plates

This means there are not good hygiene practices or table manners. n Children enjoy learning new skills and games to play at the club. They persevere as they use hoops and work together to see how far they roll. However, staff do not encourage children to help plan activities for each session, or to be involved in deciding the games they want to take part in. Consequently, some children do not engage fully and lose interest quickly. n At times, some staff interact well with the children as they play. Younger children eagerly choose books to read independently, or they listen to the stories read to them by older children. Older children enjoy learning new games to play. Children share their experience at the club. n Parents are generally happy with the club. They comment that the staff are

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The manager and staff do not consistently follow some procedures to help to keep children safe. This has an impact on children's safety and welfare. Staff are not aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse and the procedures to follow should they have a concern, including allegations made against staff. Staff are mindful of some risks. However, they do not manage children's behaviour effectively, which has an impact on the safety and well-being of children. Leaders follow safer recruitment procedures to ensure all staff are suitable to work with children.
