This provision is inadequate

 The provider does not ensure that staff understand possible risks to children. Staff allow children to play in areas where there are identified hazards and do not follow the agreed procedures to keep children safe.  Staff are not deployed effectively. They do not engage with children to provide purposeful interaction and support for their learning. Children are not prepared for the next stage in their learning and do not make adequate progress.  The quality of teaching is inadequate. Staff do not organise and plan challenging or interesting activities indoors or outdoors. Children are not motivated to explore or learn.  The provider has recently begun to track individual children's progress. She has not extended the monitoring to look at the progress of groups of children to identify any gaps in their learning and ensure all children make equal progress.  Self-evaluation is poor. Not all breaches of requirements and weaknesses are identified

Sarah Taylor-Smith Inspection report: Little Butterfly Daycare Nursery/Breakfast and After School Club, 28 July 2016 3 of 5

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. Staff fail to implement the safety procedures that the provider has identified and they allow children to play in areas that have risks. Staff are aware of the signs and symptoms of child protection concerns and know the reporting procedures to follow. The provider and staff do not clearly identify and evaluate all the areas of the nursery that need to be improved. In the short time that the provider has been in the role of manager, she has begun to provide some support to staff. For example, she models appropriate interactions and activities for children to help staff develop their skills. However, the quality of teaching is poor and there has been little or no impact from the support and training provided. The provider does not monitor the achievements of groups of children, to help identify and address gaps in learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Staff do not understand how to support children's learning and development effectively. Staff identify next steps for children's learning; however, they plan mundane activities which do not engage children or develop their skills. Children make little progress as staff do not help them to develop and gain confidence in learning. Activities are poorly organised and staff do not match these to the age and abilities of children. The provider has begun to work with staff to identify gaps in children's learning; however, this is not having an impact on improving children's outcomes. Parents are informed about their children's day and have daily discussions about their children's needs. Staff develop some links with other settings children attend. This helps them to become aware of what children are learning in other settings.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Staff do not identify how to best meet children's needs and they have unrealistic expectations of young children. They do not make sure that they use their time effectively or identify when children need more support. Staff do not interact and engage with children well enough. As a result, children become bored and disinterested and their behaviour deteriorates. This has an impact on their motivation to learn. Children are able to play outside daily. However, staff provide limited interaction and resources to support children's learning and allow them to play in an area that has been assessed as presenting risks to their safety. Children learn to wash their hands before mealtimes and enjoy completing this task themselves. They learn about some differences in peoples' backgrounds.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not spend enough time engaged in purposeful and safe play to support their learning and development effectively. They do not make adequate progress to prepare them for their next stage in learning or for starting school. Children develop some independence. For example, they get their own shoes from their box.
