An Ofsted inspector, Yvonne Johnson, carried out a monitoring visit of your provision on 09/01/2013. This visit follows on from your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

Outcome of the visit

As a result of our inspection on 15/10/2012, we sent you a notice to improve.

p.1

Outcome of the visit

In order to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe you were issued with a notice to improve which asked you to develop the educational programme in all areas of learning by planning challenging and motivating experiences for children's individual needs and interests to ensure they make progress in their learning and development and to improve observation and assessment to understand the level of children's achievement, interests and learning styles to shape the learning experiences for each child. Some of the above were deemed to be met at a monitoring visit on 09 January 2013, further work is required to fully meet all requirements.

You were also asked to ensure at least one member of staff who has a current paediatric first aid certificate is on the premises at all times when children are present, and must accompany children on outings; ensure the manager holds at least a full and relevant level 3 qualification and that at least half of all other staff a full and relevant level 2 qualification; keep a daily record of the names of the children looked after on the premises and their hours of attendance; implement each area of learning and development through planned, purposeful play and through a mix of adult-led and child-initiated activity, ensuring that indoor and outdoor spaces and resources are planned to enable children to explore, build, move, and role play safely; ensure all staff take responsibility and understand risk assessments to provide a safe environment for children and to support children in learning about personal

safety. For example, keep fire exits free from obstruction and have well-planned areas that allow children maximum space to move and explore in safety and ensure records are easily accessible and available. Since the inspection progress has been made with action being taken to address the safety, record keeping and staff qualification issues at the setting. Children's learning and development remains an area where further improvement is needed but action has been taken to begin to address these issues.

Outcome of the visit

Having considered all the evidence, the inspector is of the opinion that at this time the setting is making satisfactory improvement overall.

Overall effectiveness of the improvement and outcomes for children

The provider has taken steps to address the issues and has obtained advice from the local authority support team who have provided some guidance. Assessments and observations are at the early stages and require further work to provide a systematic approach to identifying learning priorities and develop planning which meets individual learning styles of each child. Staff provide a consistent approach to handling behaviour but need to ensure that group times are organised to meet the needs of all children attending.

p.2

Overall effectiveness of the improvement and outcomes for children

Risk assessments are in place for the setting and a daily check is completed by staff, fire exits are clear and unobstructed. The setting has looked at the available play space and made some changes to provide more available space during the day to allow children to move freely and safely in the environment. There are sufficient qualified staff to meet the requirements and all staff have recently attended training in first aid to ensure children's well being is promoted. All records were accessible at the visit and the setting is maintaining a daily record of children's hours of attendance.
