This provision does not meet requirements

Children's welfare is not fully assured due to a breach of requirements. Nevertheless, children are confident and settled at the club. They are happy to arrive at the club and instantly engage in their own choice of play. Children are eager to join in with the motivating play opportunities that staff carefully plan for them. For example, children enjoy creating a self-portrait of themselves and turning it into a key ring. Children have a wide range of opportunities to be creative. They enjoy making art in different ways, such as using celery in paint, making a vase and mosaic art patterns. Staff are positive role models. Children are polite and behave well. They are kind and caring. For example, older children help younger children to complete tasks and children show pride in each other's achievements.

n Overall, the manager has a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. However, they have failed to ensure that at least one member of staff present at the club holds an in date paediatric first-aid certificate. She has booked staff onto an upcoming course. However, currently this requirement is not being met. n All staff know the children and their individual personalities well. This includes their likes and dislikes. This helps staff plan activities that they know will interest children in their play experiences. Staff provide a welcoming environment and establish secure and trusting relationships with all children. They include children's ideas and suggestions into the club plans.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

Safeguarding

All staff show a confident understanding of what they would do in an emergency. However, there are currently no staff working at the club who hold a valid paediatric first-aid certificate, as required. This compromises children's safety as staff do not have the necessary up-to-date training to ensure they can respond appropriately to any medical emergencies or accidents. The manager and staff have a secure knowledge and understanding of the safeguarding and child protection policies. They know who to contact to seek advice and how to raise and follow up any potential concerns. This includes knowing how to manage any allegations made against staff.
