p.1

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

 The manager does not ensure that staff are deployed effectively to fully meet the needs of all children.  Planning is not effective in meeting individual children's needs well and activities do not fully engage them.  Staff do not have sufficient training to gain a good enough understanding of the role and responsibility of being a key person to support all children to settle quickly and happily into their play.  The systems to accurately monitor information about different groups of children's progress are not fully embedded to improve planning.  Staff do not make the most of opportunities for children to consistently develop even more independence skills to support their future learning.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Children are confident to communicate their ideas. For example, they happily share their thoughts and ideas with their friends during role-play activities.  Staff effectively use the local community to support children's learning. For example, they visit the butcher's shop to teach children about where different meat comes from.  Children have sufficient opportunities to develop their early writing skills. For example, all children, including babies, enjoy making marks as they paint.  Children gain respect and understanding of other people's similarities and differences. For instance, they learn about a wide range of cultures from around the world.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed staff interactions with children.  The inspector viewed the indoor environment.  The inspector looked at written documentation, including a sample of policies and procedures and staff training records.  The inspector spoke to children, parents and staff and took their views into consideration.  The inspector carried out a joint observation of an activity with the manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The manager has not ensured that staff are deployed effectively throughout the day to support all children's individual needs. For example, familiar staff are not present to settle babies when they arrive. The manager carries out staff supervisory meetings to discuss performance and highlight any training needs. For instance, she observes staff teaching children daily and has training booked for staff to fully understand how to support younger children to learn. However, the manager has not yet provided sufficient mentoring for staff to fully understand the role and responsibilities of being a key person. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a good knowledge of the safeguarding policies and procedures. For example, they know who to contact to follow up child protection concerns. Staff carry out thorough risk assessments to help ensure children remain safe. The manager has robust recruitment and induction procedures to help make sure that all

staff are suitable to work with children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The manager and staff monitor and track children's individual progress. However, staff do not make the most of information from tracking different groups of children to enhance their activity plans. They also do not ensure that daily routines and plans are effective and support children's learning and engagement. Staff build positive relationships with parents and help keep them fully informed. For example, they share children's achievements daily. Staff take some steps to help prepare children for their eventual move to school. For example, they help them to know what is expected of them and teach them more difficult skills, such as tying up ties.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Some staff do not have good relationships with their key children. This means that at times some children do not settle well and take longer to develop positive well-being and gain a sense of belonging. Children are polite and behave well. All children have opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, even younger children visit the park daily to explore and negotiate balancing and climbing equipment. Children have a good understanding of the importance of healthy eating and enjoy home-cooked snacks and lunches.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children do not make the progress of which they are capable. They also do not have consistent opportunities to challenge themselves and develop their independence further. For example, staff are keen to complete basic tasks for them that they are capable of doing for themselves, such as putting on their coats and pouring their drinks. However, children do develop some skills needed for their move to school. For example, they learn about mathematics, babies enjoy number songs and older children confidently count.
