p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

Children's safety is compromised, due to weaknesses in safeguarding practice. The manager, who is also the designated safeguarding lead in the setting, does not have a clear enough understanding of their safeguarding responsibilities. They do not keep sufficiently detailed information and records where concerns arise about a child. Furthermore, the management team does not complete the necessary checks required to ensure all committee members are suitable for their role. This does not help to safeguard children and protect them from harm.

This provision does not meet requirements

Children arrive at the club happy and show excitement as they choose from a range of activities and toys on offer. Staff skilfully support children during their play. For example, they provide children with clear instructions and help them to develop their physical skills during craft activities. Children show good levels of concentration and keep on trying as they complete their paper plate 'Goldilocks' character. Children delight as staff provide them with praise for their accomplishments.

This provision does not meet requirements

Children build strong relationships with staff, who act as positive role models with their kind and nurturing approach. Younger children learn how to share and consider other people's feelings with support from staff. Older children share resources well and support younger children during activities. Children's behaviour is good, overall.

n The management team and committee have worked hard to address the actions raised at the last inspection. However, they have failed to recognise areas of weakness in their safeguarding practice. For example, the designated safeguarding lead does not effectively follow the club's safeguarding policy and procedure in practice. This compromises children's safety and welfare. n The management team does not ensure sufficiently detailed information and records are maintained and made available to those who require access to them. This does not help to ensure the safe and effective management of the club. n Parent partnerships are good. Parents comment that their children are always happy playing, when they arrive to collect them from the club. They receive information from staff about their child's day and activities that they complete at the club. Staff work closely with the school to ensure the continuity of care for

children. n The settling-in arrangements for children are effective. The managers gather detailed information from parents about their child when they first start at the setting. They use this information to ensure children's individual care needs are

22 November 2022 met from their starting points. A key person is allocated to children in the early years age range, so that they can begin to build relationships with a familiar adult. This helps children feel safe and secure. n The managers and staff plan a wide range of opportunities for children to play. They seek ideas and suggestions from children and teaching staff from the school to help plan interesting activities and experiences. This helps to keep children engaged and focused during play. n Children play alongside their friends well. For example, they use their good imagination during role play, and act out different scenes using the dolls and playhouse provided. Older children enjoy the challenge of building dens and different structures using various materials. Staff remain alert to any dangers and provide children with the level of support that they need during their play. n Staff are effective in helping children understand the importance of leading a

healthy lifestyle. Children have daily opportunities to play outdoors in the fresh air and to exercise. They learn how to make healthy choices at snack times and follow good hygiene routines.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The club has a clear safeguarding policy and procedure for staff and members of the committee to follow. The chair of the committee, manager and staff understand how to identify and respond to concerns about a child's welfare. However, the designated safeguarding lead does not consistently follow the setting's safeguarding policy and procedure in practice. For example, they do not keep sufficiently detailed information and records where concerns arise about a child's welfare. The management team completes robust recruitment and vetting checks for all staff working directly with children. However, they have not provided Ofsted with the necessary information about all committee members, to be able to complete the necessary checks to ensure their suitability. This does not help to safeguard children and protect them from harm.
