p.1

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

 Managers do not use performance management systems to thoroughly evaluate the quality of teaching and identify where staff need to improve their practice.  Staff do not support children's learning well enough to ensure they make good progress. They do not always guide children's learning or help children to build on what they already know.  The key-person system is not always effective. Staff working with babies do not always ensure that the care provided is fully supportive and tailored to meet children's individual needs.  Staff do not always encourage parents and carers to contribute information about children's learning at home in order to plan ways to build on this.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children's safety is appropriately promoted. For example, the nursery premises is secure and procedures for the collection of children are suitably established.  Staff organise the outdoor areas effectively to provide an attractive and well resourced learning environment.  Staff help children to develop an understanding of a healthy lifestyle. For example, staff remind children when they need to wash their hands and encourage them to sing a handwashing song to support their learning.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.  The inspector completed joint observations with the manager.  The inspector held a meeting with the manager. She looked at relevant documentation, such as evidence of the suitability of staff working in the nursery.  The inspector discussed the procedures for evaluation and the priorities for improvement.  The inspector spoke to parents and carers during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

Systems to manage the performance of staff are not fully effective. Managers do not use observations of staff practice, supervision or appraisal well enough to evaluate teaching and where it needs to improve. Although staff undertake some training in teaching, this is not having a good enough impact on how they support children's learning. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff demonstrate a suitable understanding of how to deal with any concerns about children. This includes monitoring children's absences. Managers undertake appropriate checks to establish the suitability of staff. There are appropriate systems in place to monitor children's progress. The nursery works in partnership with other professionals. For example, staff share children's progress checks between the ages of two and three years with health visitors.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff do not always interact with children to guide their learning. They do not provide enough challenge to help children to build on what they already know. Children sometimes spend time unoccupied or they disengage from activities because they are not sufficiently stimulated. Staff do not consistently encourage or make use of information that parents and carers share about children's learning at home. However, staff do regularly review children's stages of development and use this information to identify where they need support. Staff encourage children to count and include simple addition problems for them to solve. Staff join in with and encourage younger children's play with blocks. The children enjoy stacking the blocks, knocking them over and placing them one inside another that supports their physical skills and development. Staff provide appropriate opportunities to update parents and carers about their children's progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

The key-person system is not fully effective to always meet children's individual needs. Staff in the baby room do not always take into account support that children will need during routines, such as mealtimes. They do not always tailor the support for children at sleep times to ensure that they are comfortable. Staff organise the indoor environment well to enable children to access a variety of age-appropriate toys and resources. They provide appropriate support for children as they move into the next age group. Staff manage children's behaviour appropriately and help them to learn to share and take turns. Staff provide appropriate explanations to help children recognise and understand why some things may be unsafe. They provide children with daily opportunities to spend long periods of time in the outdoor area to exercise and enjoy fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Weaknesses in the support for children's learning means that they are not yet making good progress. However, children behave well and show patience despite the lack of stimulation. Older children show skill when manoeuvring wheeled toys. Children are developing some of the skills they need in preparation for school.
