She looked at relevant documentation, such as evidence of the suitability of staff working in the setting.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. Staff do not have a good enough understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child in their care or if an allegation is raised about a member of the staff team. The premises are in a poor state of repair and, although, the manager has identified some areas of the building requiring attention, she has not acted on this. For example, broken door handles, taps being too hot and holes in walls have all been recognised but not rectified. The recruitment and vetting processes are not robust enough to ensure the suitability of all staff. In addition, some of the required information with regards to staff's suitability is not available for inspection. Information about Disclosure and Barring Service checks has not been obtained for some staff. Documentation is extremely disorganised and confidential information is not always kept securely. Staff are not adequately inducted into the setting

to ensure they are fully aware of their roles and responsibilities. A new manager has been appointed and she is aware of some of the weaknesses in practice. However, she has not been in post long enough to make any changes and significant weaknesses in practice remain, compromising the welfare and safety of the children. In addition, the provider has failed to notify Ofsted of the change of manager. This is an offence.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The setting does not provide an adequate environment for children. Rooms are disorganised and children sit under tables or sit unsupervised in the toilets. This is because they want some quiet spaces to sit and colour in but staff have not made provision for this. Children have unsupervised access to mobile telephones, including in toilet areas. Staff have not recognised the implications of this and do nothing to help children understand how they can keep themselves and others safe when using mobile telephones and the internet. This put children at risk of harm. The new manager has begun to make changes to improve the quality of experiences being offered to children. The staff team works closely together with the children to build on themes and topics that interest them. The staff team takes on board children's ideas and interests. Generally, children enjoy taking part in the planned activities. For example, children enjoy making a ping-pong

football pitch. They use their creativity to make their own football players. However, due to many staffing changes and new staff not understanding their roles and responsibilities, children do not benefit from consistently good interactions and experiences.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's health, safety and welfare are not being adequately promoted because staff do not demonstrate a secure understanding of requirements. The premises are not suitable for childcare. They are in a poor state or repair and areas are unclean and disorganised. Toilets are not clean and hygienic. There are broken handles and locks on doors. The manager has not ensured that all children's medical and health information has been obtained. In addition, children's medication is stored without any instructions of how and when to use it. Some medication is out of date. This means children's health is seriously compromised. Generally, partnerships with parents and the school are suitable and staff get to know the children well enough. Children enjoy taking in part in physical activities outdoors, enabling them to let of steam after a busy day at school.
