Inspection of JC Sports Westbourne Wrap Around Club Westbourne Club Community Hall, River Street, Emsworth PO10 8TG

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

There are breaches to the safeguarding and welfare requirements that have a significant impact on children's safety. Risk assessments are not effective in identifying and minimising potential risk. For instance, the building is not secure. Furthermore, the provider does not ensure that staffing arrangements keep children and staff safe at all times. In addition, they do not implement effective safeguarding procedures regarding the use of mobile phones. As a result, children's safety cannot be assured.

This provision does not meet requirements

Despite these weaknesses, children arrive happy from school and settle quickly, taking part in activities. For example, they enjoy drawing and being creative. Staff talk to children about their day at school and children excitedly talk about what they have done.

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff encourage children to be physically active. For instance, they take part in games outside. Staff give children clear instructions, which they keenly listen to. For instance, children are supported to learn how to play tag, and they have fun taking part with their friends. Staff teach children about turn taking and looking after resources. For example, children patiently wait for their turn when taking part in team games. This supports children's behaviour.

n The provider does not have a secure understanding of the statutory requirements for the early years foundation stage. The policy they have put in place for supporting the use of mobile phones is not effective. The provider has failed to recognise the risk to children of staff using their own mobile phones for work purposes. However, the provider and staff do show that they understand their child protection responsibilities. They are aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse and how to make a referral about a child or an adult. n The systems that the provider has put in place for monitoring risks are weak. For instance, daily risk assessments and weekly risk assessment audits do not identify risks to the security of the building. This means that children could easily leave the building without an adult. In addition, other children who do not attend the setting come into the building and staff are not always sure who they

are. This means that children's safety is not assured. n The provider does not ensure that the staffing arrangements meet children's individual needs. For example, should children need to use the toilet outside of scheduled toileting times, they must all go to the toilets together. This interrupts and impacts children's play and learning. Additionally, the provider has not given enough consideration to assuring the safety of children and staff when one staff

22 January 2024 member is working alone, or taken steps to identify and address any risks. For instance, they have not thought through how they will keep everyone safe should a child or member of staff have an accident, become unwell, or sustain an injury in these circumstances. n Staff consistently use praise and encouragement to support children's good behaviour. They teach children to be kind and remind them of the expected behaviour boundaries. For example, when children start to run indoors, staff talk to the children and explain why this behaviour is not appropriate. This helps children to learn how to behave well. n Partnership working with parents and other professionals is effective. The provider collects information about the children before they start attending. This enables staff to effectively help new children to become familiar with the setting, which allows them to settle quickly. Staff communicate well with the school,

sharing information about children's individual needs and interests. n Children confidently talk about their favourite activities and say that they like coming to the setting. They enjoy playing active games with staff outside. For instance, they laugh with delight as they run around the field chasing the staff and their friends. Staff motivate children to join in and exercise in the fresh air. This supports children's health and well-being. n Staff promote healthy lifestyles. They talk to children about healthy food and why it is important. For example, staff discuss the salad options at teatime and encourage the children to try new foods. Children enjoy sitting together at mealtimes and talk about their interests. This supports children to develop good social skills. n Parents speak positively about the setting. They appreciate the support that the setting provides to them as a family. Parents feel that staff are good at sharing

information with them, especially from the school. They comment that their children are happy to attend. n The provider has clear recruitment and ongoing supervision arrangements in place. They carry out appropriate checks to ensure that staff are suitable. New staff receive a thorough induction, which includes mandatory training, such as safeguarding. Staff have regular meetings and supervisions with the provider, which helps to review any further training needs. This supports staff's ongoing professional development.
