This provision does not meet requirements

n Attempts to make improvements since the last inspection have not been fully effective. Staff have developed a better understanding of wider safeguarding issues, such as county lines. However, some staff, including the manager, are not confident about how to report child protection concerns outside of the company. In addition, some staff, including the manager, do not understand the role of the local authority designated officer and the external referral process should concerns be raised about an adult at the setting. n Supervision arrangements have not been successful in identifying those staff who are less confident in their safeguarding knowledge. As a result, children's safety and welfare remains compromised. n Induction procedures have improved since the last inspection, as new staff clearly understand the procedures to follow in the event of a fire. Staff confidently understand other aspects of their roles, such as food hygiene and

behaviour management. n Staff work well as a team and know how to deploy themselves around the setting to ensure children remain engaged in their play and enjoy their time at the club. n Staff plan a good range of activities to enable children to relax and have fun after a busy day at school. For example, they have themes such as 'Children in Need' or 'Getting to know you' in the first week of school to help children make new friends. Children have access to a good range of resources, including art and craft, construction and board games. n Staff demonstrate that they know how to provide children with a healthy, nutritious snack after school. They understand the importance of finding out key information from parents about children's special dietary requirements, preferences and food allergies. Staff also understand the importance of promoting children's physical health, such as playing outside in the fresh air and

There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
