This provision does not meet requirements

n The provider has not ensured that staff have a secure knowledge of how to keep children safe. Staff have limited knowledge of the different ways a child may be at risk of harm. They are unaware of the correct procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare, or if an allegation is made against a colleague. This lack of secure safeguarding knowledge compromises children's welfare and safety. n The provider does not monitor the practice sufficiently to make sure all staff have the required training to promote children's health. Children are provided with a range of freshly prepared nutritious snacks and light meals. However, not all staff responsible for preparing meals have completed the required training. This does not ensure the necessary safety and hygiene standards are consistently followed to securely promote children's good health. n Staff explained how they organise the indoor environment to include popular

board games that children are interested in playing. They focus on providing lots of outdoor play to promote children's physical skills. However, staff explained that the indoor environment does not include an area for children to relax comfortably after their school day. Children are not provided with a wide range of resources they can access for themselves to make independent choices in their play. n The provider does not support the staff team by ensuring that suitably qualified and sufficient numbers of staff are always available to work at the club while it is running. This compromises children's safety. The provider has failed to meet their duty to notify Ofsted about specific events, such as the change of managers. This means that Ofsted is not kept informed about necessary details about the running of the club. n The manager explained how safety checklists are in place to identify risks to children, while they play. However, she acknowledged that several risks in the

environment had not been identified or minimised, and the valuable safety checklist had not been completed to keep children safe. n Staff explained how they help children to understand the rules and expectations of acceptable behaviour. They described in detail how they focus on positive strategies to manage unwanted behaviour by building children's self-esteem and praising their achievements. Minor disputes are discussed, and children's views are listened to. This is so that children learn how to alter their own behaviour, learn to respect one another and work collaboratively together. n The manager explained how staff interact positively with children using soft voices. She described how staff share positive relationships and maintain good conversation with children. Staff talk to the children about their favourite activities at weekends. For example, all children are asked about what they would prefer to eat, such as their choice of sandwich filling.

10 May 2024 There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
