Inspection of Swanland Kids club James Reckitt Memorial Hall, North Ferriby HU14 3QR

This provision does not meet requirements

Children's welfare is not maintained because the provider fails to follow safeguarding procedures correctly. Despite this weakness, other aspects of the club are more positive. Children are settled and happy. They socialise with their peers and relate well to the staff team. Children happily chat to each other, developing their communication skills. They also confidently approach staff, making their needs known.

On arrival at the club, children wash their hands and sit down for snack and a drink. Children enjoy fresh fruit as part of their snack and regularly request extra pieces of apple and orange. Children behave well, and regardless of their age, enjoy playing cooperatively together. For example, older and younger children have fun using their imaginations as they role play and dress up.

Children's views are sought through the club's council. This helps children to develop confidence to express their opinions. For example, children discuss future activities that they would like to complete and any snacks they like and do not like. Children's opinions are considered and taken on board by staff. The provider helps children to learn about wider society through discussions and activities. Any discriminatory behaviour is challenged by staff. The provider then holds further discussions with children, helping them to learn the importance of being respectful and to value the uniqueness of others.

n There are clear safeguarding procedures in place. However, the provider has failed to follow the procedures to respond to allegations against staff, to ensure that children's well-being is maintained. n Children have independent access to the range of resources available. They freely choose what they would like to do from the good range of resources and activities provided. n Children behave well, as they are taught about the rules and boundaries of the club. They speak to the inspector about the club's rules, which are displayed on the wall. These include respecting and sharing toys, playing safely and making sure that no one is left out. Children explain that all the rules are important for them to follow. n Children can freely access a wide range of books to read in the designated book area. Staff also offer to sit and let children read their books from school to them. This helps to build on children's literacy and communication skills.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

Safeguarding

The provider has failed to follow safeguarding procedures relating to notifying the local authority designated officer (LADO) of allegations against staff within the required timeframe. She also completed her own investigation into the allegation prior to notifying the LADO, which is not in line with safeguarding procedures. This does not ensure children's welfare. The provider and staff are aware of the procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child. Staff have a clear understanding of the possible indicators of abuse. Children are safely escorted to and from school. Staff complete a head count to ensure that all children are present. Children hold on to a walking rope, which helps to keep all children together and under the supervision of staff.
