An Ayrshire after-school care service has been told to improve the way it caters for children's needs. The Care Inspectorate said Prestwick after-school care service was ‘weak’ across four quality indicators – the second-lowest grading possible.

In terms of quality of care, play and learning, the service was graded 'weak', while setting, leadership and quality of staffing were also 'weak', according to the report.And the care watchdog revealed that kids were “not offered” access to the outdoor area – while interactions between staff and the children were “limited”.In addition, staff did not engage with the kids in "meaningful conversation".The administration of medication was “inconsistent” and one child with asthma did not have “an appropriate medical plan in place” should they require an inhaler.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now on iOS and Android.The care watchdog did find strengths, but they said those were “compromised by significant weaknesses”.Other concerns flagged up were that not all children experienced learning that was “relevant, personalised or sufficiently challenging” for their stage of development.Prestwick after-school care service, in Caerlaverock Road, provides a care service for up to 40 children aged three years and above in Prestwick community centre; and 32 children aged four years and above in Glenburn Primary School.
