    Summary of complaint

    On 1 April 2016 we received a complaint that raised concerns about the provider's ability to promote children's health, safety and effective learning. At an inspection we looked at the concerns to see whether the provider was meeting the Early Years Foundation Stage requirements relating to suitability of staff; training and support for staff; deployment of staff; safety and risk assessment; managing behaviour and planning and educational programmes. We found that the provider is not consistently meeting the learning and development requirements for planning and educational programmes. Some activities are not interesting or challenging enough for babies and toddlers. Staff working with these younger children do not always reflect each child's needs and abilities in their planning and teaching. Sometimes staff do not interact well enough with babies and toddlers to support them in taking part and remaining involved in a broad range of activities. Following our

We also asked them to:improve staff's interactions and support for children aged under two years to ensure they respond effectively to children's emerging needs and interests and encourage their purposeful play. The provider remains registered with Ofsted.
