Monitoring for provision judged as inadequate

An Ofsted inspector, Sarah Street, monitored your provision on 11/06/2014 following your inspection where the provision was judged to be inadequate.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

As a result of our inspection on 01/04/2014, we sent you a notice to improve. If you were set actions at the inspection, or as a result of our subsequent monitoring or investigations, these are included at the end of this letter unless we have already verified that they have been completed.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

During the monitoring visit, the inspector discussed with your manager the steps you have taken to address the actions raised in the notice to improve. She observed the deployment of staff and the behaviour of the children. The inspector reviewed the qualification and first-aid certificates of staff and your complaints folder.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

The inspector found that you have developed a clear action plan to address the issues raised at your last inspection and you have quickly implemented these plans. You have sought the support of your local authority development worker to assist you with this.

p.1

Outcome of monitoring

Following the previous inspection, you have taken steps to ensure there is always a qualified manager on the premises. You have moved a manager from another of your settings as you have several in post you consider capable to manage. You know who your named deputy will be and the manager is in the process of ensuring they are familiar with the role. In the event that management cover is needed within this setting, you are able to send a manager from one of your other settings to support the team. Your manager states that this does not have an impact on your other settings. You are in the process of informing parents of these changes. You demonstrate that the setting is run by suitably qualified staff as childcare and first-aid qualifications are displayed on the notice board. This helps reassure parents and demonstrates that qualification requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage are met. All staff have undertaken first-aid training and hold appropriate

paediatric first-aid certificates. This supports children's health, safety and well-being.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

Children arrive happily and calmly after school. They quickly settle to the activities or choose to have a snack. The effective deployment of staff promotes good behaviour and the older and younger children play happily alongside each other. Any minor issues are dealt with consistently and confidently by staff. In addition, you have devised a form which is used to promote good behaviour and deal with any which is unacceptable. You involve the parents and children in this process which helps promote consistency between home and the setting.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

The inspector found that the manager has reviewed the deployment of staff and the areas the children access. To promote effective deployment of staff, the setting only uses two of the three areas at any one time. These include the inside area, enclosed play area and school playground. This ensures that more staff can be outside when many children wish to play there after a day in school. The inspector observed that the move from one outside play area to another went smoothly and the children are obviously familiar with this. The inspector also observed that staff supervised the children closely when many children chose to play outside. One staff member was located by the climbing equipment, a second staff member supervised a football game on the grass, while a third member supervised the playground area. This staff member also supervised adults who were entering the premises and monitored that parents closed the gate when they left. These actions promote children's safety while

not impacting on their play and learning.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

A summary of the record of complaints is now available on the premises which means this is available for parents and Ofsted. You are able to supply further information promptly if this is requested.

p.2

Outcome of monitoring

Having considered all the evidence, the inspector is of the opinion that the setting has taken prompt and effective action to address the points for improvement.

Next steps

The next step will be a full inspection.
