Inspection of 115 Club St Luke's St. Luke's C of E Infant School, Maxwell Road, BOURNEMOUTH BH9 1DL

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

Children are keen to come into the club. Staff collect them from their classrooms and welcome them. However, it takes some children a long time to settle into activities. Staff try to engage all children in suitable activities, such as drawing and den building. However, some children behave inappropriately, pushing and hitting others. Staff are working hard to address this by using a variety of methods. However, these are not successful, particularly at the start of the session. This is because staff do not consistently remind children what the boundaries and expectations are.

This provision does not meet requirements

Children enjoy lots of physical activity in the outdoor space. Staff support children playing football and using the school equipment, such as the climbing frame. While children's behaviour is better when they play outdoors, staff do not deploy themselves effectively to support children who need help to manage their behaviour. For example, staff chat with individual children for a considerable period of time and do not notice when some children's behaviour deteriorates. As such, they do not step in to provide the support these children need.

need to do better?

n The management team, including the new manager, has identified and implemented different strategies to manage children's behaviour. However, the strategies are not successful at this time. For example, although staff are aware of the strategies, they do not consistently implement them. Some children get upset with children pushing or punching them. Although the manager is aware of all the issues, she is not supporting staff sufficiently to help them successfully manage children's behaviour. n There is a good adult-to-child ratio in place. However, staff are not deploying themselves effectively. Staff are not able to support those children who require extra help, because they are dealing with tasks such as setting up snack. As a result, some children do not receive the attention they need to meet their individual needs. n Children enjoy activities that are of interest to them, such as Lego and playing

29 November 2023 football. Staff play chess with children, teaching them new skills. Staff speak warmly with the children and listen with interest to what the children want to talk about. n Staff build positive relationships with children and their families. Parents value the service offered and the flexibility. The club operates an open-door policy where parents can talk to staff about anything concerning them. n The management team has processes to identify areas that need to improve, such as how staff deploy themselves and the effective management of children's behaviour. While steps are being taken to bring about the necessary improvement, these have only recently been implemented and are not yet having the required impact. n Children's health is promoted well. They benefit from healthy snacks and opportunities to be physical in the playground, playing football and tag.

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Management and staff have a suitable awareness of how to safeguard children and the procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. There are appropriate procedures in place to recruit and vet staff to make sure they are suitable for their role and responsibility. This means adults working with children are suitable to do so. Staff remind children when using the outdoor equipment or the temporary stage how to keep themselves safe
