Effectiveness of the leadership and management Requires improvement Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Requires improvement Personal development, behaviour and welfare Requires improvement Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

This provision requires improvement. It is not yet good because:

 Staffing arrangements mean that the key-person approach does not meet children's individual care and learning needs effectively.  Some activities do not engage and interest children in learning to sufficiently support their development. Children do not make as much progress during these times.  Not all staff support children to be independent throughout the day.  Staff do not provide opportunities to encourage children to be creative and develop their own thoughts and ideas in some activities.  Self-evaluation does not effectively identify all weaknesses in practice.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children enjoy their time at nursery. Staff are good role models for children and support them to behave well. For example, they positively remind them to use 'kind hands' with each other and to play nicely together.  Staff support children well to be involved in imaginative play. For instance, children excitedly dress up and explore the nursery to look for imaginary birds with their binoculars.  Children receive effective support to develop an understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, they enjoy healthy meals and the opportunities to play and learn outside regularly.

Due Date

 make better use of opportunities to support children to be independent  provide more opportunities for children to use their own creative ideas during activities  improve self-evaluation to ensure all weaknesses in practice are clearly identified with agreed action plans.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector spoke to parents and took their views into consideration.  The inspector observed the quality of teaching inside and outside, and assessed the impact on children's learning.  The inspector jointly observed an activity with the manager and discussed children's learning.  The inspector spoke to children and staff at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector reviewed the nursery's policies and procedures and children's learning records.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Staff have an appropriate understanding of risk to support children's safety. For example, they identify possible hazards and follow effective procedures to keep children safe. They know the safeguarding procedures to follow if they have concerns about children's welfare. Safeguarding is effective. Staff receive support and some training to develop their roles, and they work together to evaluate the nursery. However, the manager does not identify all practice issues, such as ensuring that there are effective staffing plans in place when a child's key person is not present. Other staff are not all aware of how to continue to support children's individual care and learning. Staff work well with parents, for example, they share summaries of children's development. The manager monitors children's overall progress effectively to help identify any learning gaps.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Children receive appropriate support to learn how to count and use numbers during play. For example, they enjoy counting as they throw and catch the ball, and giggle as staff are playful with them. However, some planned activities do not motivate and excite children to build effectively on their learning. For instance, staff sometimes miss opportunities to engage children in purposeful discussions or to help them learn new skills. Staff support children well to explore stories. Children enjoy listening to stories, join in and re-tell their favourite parts. However, at times, staff do not encourage children to be creative and develop their own ideas to reflect their individual preferences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff support children well to learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and others. For example, they talk about what colour hair they have and how it is different to their friends. Some staff do not encourage children to challenge themselves and complete manageable tasks. Staff support children who speak English as an additional language well and help others to learn about the world. For example, children learn to say 'hello' in a range of languages and staff talk to children about other countries. Children develop a good understanding about where food comes from. For instance, they grow their own vegetables and cook their produce.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Overall, children make some progress in their learning and development. However, the weakness in teaching and the key-person approach means that they do not consistently make the progress they are capable of. Children are confident and self-assured. For example, they happily chat about their experiences at home and nursery. Children enjoy spending time at nursery and have good relationships with each other. They learn some skills to help them be ready for their next stage of learning at school.
