p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The provider has failed to follow appropriate recruitment procedures. She does not ensure that all staff undertake the required Disclosure and Barring Service check. She has not made sure that her staff are aware that they are expected to disclose any convictions, cautions, court orders, reprimands and warnings that may affect their suitability to work with children. The safeguarding policy is not in line with new legislation. Some staff do not have a suitable knowledge of how to recognise the signs that a child may be at risk of harm. The provider and staff do not have a secure understanding of what procedures to follow if an allegation is made against staff. They do not know enough about their responsibilities under the 'Prevent' duty. This puts children at risk. The provider does not ensure that there is an appointed deputy manager, as required, and that all staff are aware of that person. She does not maintain all required

p.4

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

records about the children in their care, including the details about carers and/or parents and their emergency contact details. The provider monitors staff's performance and provides some mandatory training. However, she has failed to recognise breaches of requirements and how these have a negative impact on children's safety and welfare. The relationships with parents and schools are positive.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a welcoming environment with a wide range of resources. They have positive interactions with children and know when to join in children's activities and have meaningful discussions. They help children extend their communication and social skills. Staff provide interesting activities that help children use their imagination. For example, they give children opportunities to be creative with the play dough or construction toys. Children are active and regularly play outside. For example, they enjoy playing badminton or ball in the playground.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's welfare is not assured as the provider has not ensured that all staff caring for them are suitably checked. Staff and children do not know what procedures to follow in case of fire, which puts children's safety at risk. For example, they have never practised emergency evacuation. Staff do not consistently follow good hygiene procedures to avoid cross-contamination. For example, they do not ensure that all children wash their hands after their play before having food. The food provided is not nutritious and healthy. Snacks include a high sugar content and very few children eat the fruits or salad vegetables on offer. Moreover, staff do not know enough about children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. As a result, they do not do enough to meet their individual needs. Children behave well and learn to respect others.
