p.1

This provision is inadequate

 Concerns recorded about children’s welfare are not identified as signs of abuse. As a result, child protection agencies are not notified of the concerns. This places children at possible risk of harm.  Children’s activities are sometimes cut short unnecessarily which results in children spending a long time doing nothing as staff ask them to conclude their play and get ready for lunch too early.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Staff communicate well with parents. They provide regular updates about children’s progress and advise parents how they can support their child’s learning at home. This is helping children to make good progress in their development.  Children behave well. They happily play alongside each other. They respond quickly to instructions from staff such as when asked to take turns or put their shoes on to go outside.  Action is taken by leaders improve the quality of learning experiences for children. For example, the new outdoor area has provided a wide variety of new play experiences to help children develop.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities both indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector held a meeting with the director who is also the nursery manager.  The inspector completed a joint observation with the nursery manager.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as children’s records, staff supervision records, policies and children’s progress tracking sheets.  The inspector spoke to staff regarding their knowledge of safeguarding and their key children’s progress.  The inspector spoke to a selection of parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The safeguarding and welfare requirement which relates to child protection is not met. Staff receive regular feedback about the quality of their practice from colleagues and leaders. They also receive structured support through regular one to one meetings with leaders, and during team meetings. Relevant training is identified and provided to staff to help improve their practice. For example, opportunities are provided for them to observe colleagues who have strengths in particular areas of their practice. Secure monitoring systems are in place to identify any concerns about children’s progress. Timely and effective support is then put in place to support the child. The nursery also works well with parents and other agencies where appropriate to support children in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff complete regular and accurate assessments of children’s development. Children make a choice from the wide range of activities available and staff follow their interests. Staff use their knowledge of children’s progress to extend learning experiences that children have chosen. For example, children pretend to cook using the toy kitchen in the garden. Staff model use of equipment and cooking utensils and new words such as ‘scooping’. This helps develop children’s physical skills and their speech and language. Children have a go at using the equipment and think of their own ideas as to how to use it to achieve their chosen outcome. Teaching is effective. Staff observe, listen and question children to help them progress. For example, children show an interest in the water flowing from the water fountain. Staff ask about the speed of the water and children say it is fast. Staff help children to think using open questions such as ‘what else is fast?’

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children are not kept safe. Concerns about their welfare are not always reported to child protection agencies as required. Staff provide examples of acceptable behaviour. For example, they use good manners when speaking to their colleagues and to children. Children have secure bonds with staff, they are confident to invite staff and visitors into their play. Children’s behaviour is well managed. For example, explanation is given to a child running with a pen that they may hurt themselves. The child then follows instruction to use the pen safely while sitting down in the area provided. The nursery promotes the importance of being healthy. For example children are growing vegetables, eat healthy meals and exercise daily.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress, particularly those children whose development was below that of other children of the same age when they started at the nursery. Speaking skills are developing well, including children whose first language is not English. Children are developing key skills for school such as using cutlery to eat their dinner on their own.
