p.1

This provision is inadequate

 Some staff have poor understanding of how to promote children's learning and development. As a result, teaching is weak and not always appropriate to individual children's needs and abilities.  Managers are not sufficiently aware of the quality of teaching in the nursery. Therefore, they cannot accurately identify weaknesses in teaching to enable them to drive improvement forward. Key weaknesses in teaching have not been identified and children are not making as much progress as they should be.  Staff are not deployed effectively within the nursery. This means that children's needs are not always met because staff do not prioritise children's learning and development.  Staff do not have a consistent, confident approach to managing children's behaviour. This leads to a disorderly environment that does not promote learning and sometimes puts children at risk.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Training and staff meetings have a clear focus on child protection. As a result, staff can identify the signs and symptoms of abuse and know what to do to if they are concerned about a child's welfare.  Staff provide a wide range of activities that children can access independently, both indoors and outdoors. Consequently, children are generally confident and happy within the setting.  Staff have created positive relationships with the feeder schools, parents and other professionals. Parents speak highly of staff and say that their children are very happy in the nursery.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

What the setting needs to do to improve further

 develop staff knowledge and understanding of high-quality teaching and of how children learn and develop, to enable them to plan and deliver experiences for all children that engage and excite them in their learning  ensure that weaknesses in teaching are quickly identified and measures are put in place to support staff's practice, to ensure that they continually improve and develop  develop a consistent approach to managing children's behaviour so that staff are confident in dealing with challenging behaviour and ensure that they keep children safe and fully engaged in their play and learning.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

 ensure that children are always adequately supervised by deciding how best to deploy staff to ensure that children's needs are met and learning and development is prioritised at all times.

p.2

Inspection activities

who attend. This is inadequate

All staff hold relevant childcare qualifications. However, they do not use their knowledge and understanding well enough to ensure that they provide activities and an environment which suits the needs of all children. Consequently, teaching is weak and all children are not making good enough progress. For example, staff plan activities which do not engage or motivate children because children do not understand what they are doing. Staff tell children what to do. This means that activities are over very quickly and do not give children chance to play, explore or think about what they are doing. Furthermore, activities are not changed when younger children are taking part. Staff also miss opportunities to extend older children's learning, such as using scissors and writing their own name labels for their seed pots.

p.3

inadequate

Staff do not have a consistent, confident approach to managing children's behaviour. For example, children bring sweets in from home and staff repeatedly ask them to put them away. But when children say no or ignore staff, their behaviour is not challenged as staff do not follow through with what they have asked children to do. This leads to a disorderly environment where rules and boundaries are not clear for staff or children. Consequently, children are not emotionally well prepared for the next stage in their learning including the move on to school. Children have opportunities to play outside every day. The outdoor area is well equipped and children enjoy climbing, riding bikes and digging in the garden. This supports their physical development well. Children sit with their friends at snack and mealtimes. Children are learning to share, take turns and use manners. Children follow good hygiene routines led by staff and clearly enjoy these social times. However, staff are

p.3

inadequate

not always deployed effectively to ensure that children's needs are well met. For example, staff prioritise mundane tasks, such as setting up activities, rather than supporting children's learning and development as they get ready for lunch. As a result, children become restless and their behaviour deteriorates.

p.3

provision is inadequate

Although staff attend a range of courses and have regular supervision meetings, they are not effective in their roles. This is because managers do not fully understand and implement the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. For example, managers have not identified or addressed weaker teaching, which is not matched to children's needs and abilities. Managers are aware of potential risks within the environment. For example, children enjoy using a large slide in the outdoor area. Staff supervise children when they are using the slide so that risks are minimised. However, staff deployment is not fully effective. This means that adults are not always available to support and promote children's emerging needs and interests, as well as ensuring their safety as they play.
