Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

 Managers do not ensure staff complete progress checks for children aged two years and share these with parents, as required. This does not help staff to identify and target gaps in children's development as early as possible.  Managers do not always consider how staff can support children's continuity of learning experiences and help them make good progress during periods of staff changes.  Not all staff understand how to best support children's home languages to promote their sense of belonging.  Staff do not provide older children with a range of physical experiences in the outdoor area for those children who prefer to learn outside.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Staff give children praise during play. This helps to promote their emotional well-being and build confidence.  Children are independent in choosing activities that interest them. They have good social skills, share with their friends and express their ideas and feelings well.  Staff give children opportunities to discuss their experiences. For example, staff ask children about their recent holidays. Children explain where they went and share some of their memories of the trip. Children communicate well.  Parents find staff supportive and feel they take into consideration specific family needs. Managers and staff also develop good relationships with other professionals to help them support children who have identified special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed staff and children playing indoors and outdoors.  The inspector spoke to staff, parents and children.  The inspector and deputy manager participated in a joint observation.  The inspector viewed a sample of relevant documentation, including the provider's policies and procedures, staff's qualifications and children's records.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Since the last inspection, the managers have reflected on the provision to make improvements. For example, they have implemented an effective key-person system to meet children's individual learning needs. They have also used professional development and support to help staff improve the quality of teaching. Staff now engage more effectively with children. For example, they participate during children's play and follow their interests. However, managers do not always look for ways to ensure that all aspects of assessment are effective or that children continue to have continuity in their learning when new staff start. They do, however, follow a good induction process, for example, to ensure new staff know how to check for and minimise risks to children. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of how to identify and report on child protection concerns to help them to keep children safe from harm.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff provide a wide variety of art activities to help children to learn about the topics they enjoy. For example, children enjoy gluing and sticking, painting with paintbrushes and bubble painting to make art that helps them to learn about their current topic. This helps them to develop their understanding of the world. Although managers generally monitor all children's progress to help them progress well, they do not ensure that staff complete progress checks for all two-year-old children. Staff have not shared these two-year progress checks with parents, as required. This does not help staff to put appropriate support in place as early as possible. Staff engage well with children. For example, they read children stories that interest them, ask them questions about the story and encourage children to express themselves.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote positive behaviour. For example, they encourage children to talk to each other about behaviour they do not like. Children learn how to take care of their immediate environment, such as watering the plants they are growing and tidying up after themselves. Staff help children to learn about healthy eating and promote their physical well-being, for instance through the healthy snacks and meals they provide. Staff help children to learn how to behave well. For example, they explain to children how to resolve conflict by speaking to their friends. Staff are deployed well and supervise children effectively, to keep them safe.

p.4

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children develop good mathematical skills during play. For example, young children say numbers as they measure objects with a tape measure. Older children confidently count quantities. Overall, most children make steady progress and are adequately ready for their next stage of learning, including starting school. However, some children do not get the learning help they need as early as possible to make consistently good progress in all areas of learning. Young children show good coordination as they handle small objects with control.
