Inspection of Junior Adventures Group @ West Twyford NW10 West Twyford Primary School, Twyford Abbey Road, LONDON NW10 7DN

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

The provider does not monitor practice sufficiently, to make sure that staff follow the setting's policies consistently to ensure children's welfare. Staff closely supervise children within the indoor environment to ensure their safety. However, they are not always deployed effectively to ensure that children are appropriately supervised in the vast outdoor area to ensure their well-being.

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff organise the indoor space with activities based on children's interests and requests. Children arrive with enthusiasm and become quickly absorbed in their play. Staff gently guide new children into the environment. For example, they take good care to show children where they can store their belongings. However, the provider does not work in partnership with the host school to provide sufficient space for children right from the start. This restricts staff in offering children a larger range of resources and activities, such as books.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff know children well and take account of their individual needs when planning the routine. There are firm arrangements in place to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The manager works well with the school for continuity and consistency in managing children's behaviour and specific needs. Staff skilfully use the identified strategies to ensure that all children are fully included.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff praise children consistently, for example, when they show kindness to their peers, which boosts their self-esteem. When children occasionally forget to follow the rules, staff engage in good conversations to help children to understand the possible consequences of their actions. Overall, children generally behave well.

n The provider does not support staff to complete the required safety checks effectively, to reduce all identified risks to children. For example, equipment with sharp features is stored within children's reach, which increases the risk of injury to them. Leaders do not communicate effectively with the host school to help staff to manage risks from faulty equipment, such as tables, to keep children safe. n The system for monitoring and supporting staff's practice is not sufficiently robust. While the manager and staff receive regular supervision sessions, these meetings do not always provide an accurate overview of their practice. The provider does not ensure that senior managers are fully aware of how staff are deployed throughout the session. For example, when children use the large outdoor area, they are not always supervised effectively to receive the support

19 September 2024 they need and to ensure their safety. n The provider offers staff a variety of training but does not take all necessary steps to keep children safe at all times. Staff use an electronic system to monitor access to the setting. While this helps to safely identify persons collecting children, leaders do not support staff to identify and reduce any risks posed by the electronic system. They have not identified that staff follow all steps in place to minimise risks to children, such as keeping the internal gates closed, to foster an effective culture of safeguarding. n Children have fun releasing their energy as they play a variety of popular outdoor group games. They enjoy practising physical dexterity and play alongside their older peers, who encourage them to express their ideas. Children develop confidence to invite each other to take turns and compete with one another in the spirit of building firm friendships.

n Young children benefit from being nurtured by a key person, which enables them to quickly settle into the routine. New children are supported well by key staff, who know about their needs before they begin. n Staff communicate positively with children and engage them in good interactions. Children particularly enjoy printing and colouring pictures. They colour their superheroes with passion and diligence. Children amicably share the huge array of colour pencils and pens. Staff take care to help children to understand why their work is 'wonderful', and children beam smiles of pride and are motivated to continue. n Children enjoy snack times. They happily choose from a good selection of nutritious options, such as wraps, excitedly requesting extra fillings. Children show consideration as they relish eating apples and oranges, making sure that they have all had some. n Staff encourage children to drink water to remain hydrated throughout,

particularly after vigorous play. However, when children grow tired, they do not have an area where they can rest and relax for quiet play after a busy school and club day. This does not ensure that all aspects of their health are equally prioritised. n Parents are aware of the setting's policies and procedures. They value the communication they receive daily about the activities and games their children have enjoyed. Parents say their children miss the club on the days they do not attend.
