Monitoring for provision judged as inadequate

An Ofsted inspector, Nicola Dickinson, monitored your provision on 29/04/2014 following your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

As a result of our inspection on 30/01/2014, we sent you a notice to improve. The actions you were set are included at the end of this letter.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

During the monitoring visit the inspector discussed with your deputy manager the steps you have taken to improve. She reviewed the information you record for each child in your care. She looked at how you shape learning experiences to take into account each child's emerging needs and interests; how you ensure activities support the characteristics of learning; and she observed whether adult interaction supports children's spontaneous play and chosen activities. The inspector also discussed with your deputy manager the systems you have put in place to support staff training and development needs, thus enabling them to offer quality learning experiences for children.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

The inspector found that while you have taken some steps to address some of the actions raised at your last inspection, you have not developed an effective action plan to support continuous improvement. As a result, you have not given sufficient consideration to how you are going to tackle all areas which were identified as needing to improve at your last inspection

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

While you have recorded detailed information for a large number of the children who attend the club, this has not been completed for all of them. Attendance registers showed that there are children in attendance for whom appropriate documentation has not been completed.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

You have started to collect information about children's emerging interests and are Our Reference EY312971

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

beginning to plan activities that support the characteristics of effective learning. However, these are not yet sufficient to ensure that the younger children are suitably engaged and they often move aimlessly from one resource to another showing little interest. In addition to this, staff interactions with children are not effective in supporting the younger children's spontaneous play.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

You have begun to complete supervisions and appraisals with practitioners. However, there is no targeted action plan in place to address their training needs and as a result, the quality of learning experiences for children are not sufficiently improving.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

Having considered all the evidence, the inspector is of the opinion that the setting has not taken prompt and effective action to address the points for improvement.

p.2

Next steps

The next step will be further monitoring.
