p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. Not all staff know the indicators of potential harm to children and how to prevent them from being exposed to extreme and radical views. The provider, who is also the manager, does not follow secure recruitment procedures to determine staff's experience for their roles. Moreover, she does not monitor staff's ongoing suitability. She does not ensure that all staff are aware of the importance of reporting any changes that may affect their suitability, including through their associations. The provider has failed to ensure that a manager, or a deputy manager, is available at all times, particularly at the start of the day. In addition, she does not ensure that at least half of all staff working with children meet qualification requirements. The provider does not ensure that all staff receive effective supervision to improve their knowledge and develop their existing skills to meet children's individual welfare needs. She has not identified all

weaknesses in practice or recognised where these are breaches in requirements and how these have a negative effect on children's care. The provider reviews the progress of different groups of children to identify and address any gaps. Staff communicate with parents and other professionals effectively to maintain consistency for children's outcomes. Parents report that they are happy with the nursery, the information they receive and the progress their children make.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff identify children's starting points and monitor their ongoing progress effectively. They regularly observe children's learning and use this information well to plan activities and experiences that match children's learning needs. Children enjoy a good range of challenging experiences that motivates their learning and keeps them engaged. For example, children build obstacle courses and learn to balance while walking on top of the construction blocks. Staff focus on developing children's communication and language skills in English and Lithuanian. For example, they listen to and enjoy songs and stories in both languages.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in safeguarding have a detrimental effect on children's welfare. The provider has not ensured that there is at least one person with a current paediatric first- aid qualification available on the premises at all times. Nevertheless, staff know the procedures to follow when dealing with children's minor accidents and for reporting these to parents. The provider ensures staff meet ratio requirements and that they supervise children appropriately at all times. Children settle well and form secure attachments with their key person. They receive nutritious meals and learn about the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle. The premises and equipment are clean and suitable for children. Staff assess risks to children effectively and ensure the setting is safe.

p.4

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those learning English as an additional language, make good or better progress. They gain the skills they need for the next stages in their learning and for their move to school. For example, children learn how to concentrate on activities, count objects in context and write letters. Children behave well and learn to respect others. They develop good independence skills, such as in taking care of their own needs.
