p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

The provider has not ensured all legal requirements are met to guarantee children's safety. Specifically, members of staff who care for children have not completed paediatric first-aid training. Session leaders have not undertaken checks to ensure the contents of the first-aid box are appropriate and available. In addition, staff do not remind children to wash hands before they eat. This poses an element of risk to children.

Despite this, children thoroughly enjoy their time at the after-school club. They are keen to catch up with friends and play together. Children enjoy adult-led activities. For example, they listen carefully as staff explain how to play a group game. Children negotiate between themselves who is going first. They take turns to draw on the board, while other children eagerly put their hand up to guess what the picture is. Staff notice when children start to play outside of the rules. They gently remind children of how to play fairly.

This provision does not meet requirements

Children are keen to help with daily routines. For example, they volunteer to gather snack orders. Staff help them to develop an order form and encourage children to think about how they will record on this. Children decide they will put initials next to each item. They confidently communicate to the other children what snacks are available.

n Staff feel supported in their role. Leaders ensure regular team meetings occur in order to share updates and ideas with staff. However, leaders have failed to ensure that at least one member of staff who holds a current paediatric first-aid certificate is always on the premises when children are present. Furthermore, first-aid box contents are not appropriate. This is a breach of requirements. n Staff prepare healthy snacks for children and provide fresh drinking water. However, staff do not encourage children to practice good hygiene routines. For instance, staff do not ask children to wash their hands before they eat snack. This does not support children's good health or well-being. n Staff provide a good range of activities and resources for children, which allows children to make individual choices in their play. Children choose which activities suit their interests. For example, some children want to play with dinosaurs,

while others want to play a board game with their friends. Children are confident to ask staff for further resources. n Staff help children to behave well. They are good role models who provide consistent advice and guidance to children. For example, when children push others, staff remind them to be play gently so they do not hurt their friends. In

This helps children learn to play safely. n Staff have good relationships with children. They actively listen to children as they talk about their day and laugh at the jokes they share. Children say staff are 'very nice', and that staff comfort them if they are sad. This helps children to feel cared for. n Staff support children's interest in time. For example, children want to know what time parents are arriving. Staff encourage them to think about how many minutes are in an hour and how many minutes they have left to wait. Children are praised for working times out correctly. This gives them pride in their achievements. n Staff provide plenty of activities to support children's interests. For example, children use pencils to draw and colour; they build with small construction bricks

and they weave paper. However, occasionally, staff can be overly helpful. For instance, staff cut out the strips of paper children need to weave, when children are capable of doing this themselves. n Parents speak highly of the after-school club. They say their children enjoy playing outside, being creative and meeting up with friends. Parents say communication with staff is good.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

Safeguarding

Leaders have failed to ensure that at least one member of staff who has completed paediatric first-aid training is always on the premises, to take charge in the event of a medical emergency. Appropriate first-aid resources are not available for use in the event of an accident. Nonetheless, staff have a good understanding of the different types of abuse and the possible signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. They know what procedure to follow if they have concerns. Staff are confident in their knowledge of how to report concerns about another member of staff. The provider works with the school to ensure the ongoing suitability of staff working with children.
