p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

Leaders and managers do not make sure that statutory requirements are met effectively to ensure the safety and well-being of children. New staff members work at the setting unsupervised before receiving any references back to confirm they are suitable. Furthermore, staff do not have secure enough child protection knowledge. This does not promote children's safety.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff plan some activities for children. For instance, children enjoy playing football and engaging in gymnastics. They also have opportunities to participate in colouring and explore construction toys. However, the resources on offer are limited and lack excitement and challenge. Despite this, children generally engage well and are content at the club. Overall, staff support children to understand appropriate boundaries. Consequently, children play cooperatively with each other and behave well.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff do not deploy themselves effectively when children use the toilets. This means that young children are often out of sight and sound without the support of an adult. Children are provided with a snack and light meal during their time at the club. However, the food provided does not give children much choice and does not contribute to a healthy diet. Furthermore, children run around and play football as they eat. This does not promote safe eating routines.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

Overall, the organisation of the after-school club is not effective. Although leaders have regular meetings with staff, they do not take swift enough action to ensure issues are addressed. Furthermore, essential documents are not easily accessible. This effects the overall running of the club.

need to do better?

n The provider does not reflect well enough on the quality of the provision. They do not identify and address weaknesses or take prompt action to meet statutory requirements. This impacts on the effective running of the provision. n Leaders and staff do not demonstrate sufficient knowledge about safeguarding procedures. Some staff are unaware of the correct procedures to follow if they need to raise a concern about children's well-being. Furthermore, they do not have appropriate knowledge of the correct procedures to follow if there is an allegation against a member of staff. In addition, there is not an effective policy for the use of mobile phones in place. For instance, staff use their own mobile phones at the club and safety measures are not embedded to promote the safety and well-being of children. n Recruitment and vetting procedures are ineffective. Although staff have

need to do better?

12 September 2025 Disclosure and Barring Service checks completed, some new staff are allowed to start working unsupervised with children before any references are completed. This does not provide assurance that staff are suitable. n Leaders arrange supervision meetings with staff. However, these are ineffective in raising the quality of the provision. For example, leaders do not identify gaps in staff's knowledge and provide them with effective support and coaching to build their confidence and skills. This impacts on children's daily experiences. n Children have restricted opportunities to make healthy food choices. For instance, they have biscuits for a snack and chocolate spread sandwiches for tea at the club. Furthermore, children do not have fresh water readily available. They also eat while moving around the playground. This arrangement does not promote safe eating or help children to learn about keeping themselves healthy.

p.2

need to do better?

n Leaders do not ensure that staff keep children within sight and/or hearing at all times as required. For instance, younger children often go to the toilet unaccompanied, which is away from the main hall down a long corridor. Furthermore, on occasion older children are asked to accompany younger children to support them. This arrangement does not prioritise children's safety. n Leaders do not ensure that required documents are easily available. For instance, children's registration forms with key information and policies and procedures are not readily accessible. This does not promote children's welfare. n The resources and experiences available are insufficient. Children have limited choices and express they would like a wider range of activities to engage in. Despite this, they also state that they enjoy attending and like the staff and being with their friends. n Staff treat children with respect and it is evident they have a good bond.
