p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The provider has failed to evaluate the significant weaknesses in her provision, including security at the entrance of the nursery. Unauthorised persons are able to gain access to the premises. This compromises children's safety. This breach also relates to the Childcare Register requirements.  The provider does not effectively ensure staff understand their roles and responsibilities in meeting the learning and development requirements and assessing risks to children. She provides some supervision and some training opportunities, but these are ineffective as staff fail to support all children and be alert to potential risks.  The provider does not ensure staff meet children's individual learning needs. This significantly impacts on the progress of all children, specifically those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.

It has the following strengths

 Staff develop warm, caring relationships with children, who are confident and happy.  Staff develop professional relationships with parents and speak to them regularly about their child.

Inspection activities

 The inspection took place following the risk assessment process.  The inspector observed the staff's interactions during activities indoors and outdoors, and looked at a range of resources and equipment. The inspector talked with parents, the provider, staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation, including children's details, learning records, insurance and other relevant documentation.  The inspector held discussions with the provider about policies and procedures and methods of assessing and planning for children's progress. The inspector also discussed how staff work with parents and other providers.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The setting notified Ofsted that a child left the premises unattended. Despite stating that the security of the premises had been improved since the incident, on the day of the inspection the entrance door was not secure. Parents opened the door to other adults and the door was left open for some time. Staff in the vicinity ignored the security risk and the door was eventually closed by the cook. This compromises children's safety. Staff adequately supervise children in the playrooms and are appropriately deployed. Staff know how to identify any child protection concerns and follow reporting procedures. The provider knows to notify Ofsted of any significant incidents. She understands the importance of maintaining confidentiality, keeps the required records and effectively shares relevant information with parents. The provider ensures that all staff are suitable to work with children. She follows relevant procedures

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

when identifying weaknesses in staff performance. For example, she provides supervision and some training opportunities. However, these systems are ineffective as staff do not recognise or take appropriate action to meet the needs of all their key children. The provider ensures appropriate procedures are in place to collect children after school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Although staff carry out observations and assessments, these are not used to plan appropriate teaching and learning strategies, including to identify children who are falling behind in their learning. Staff have a poor understanding and knowledge of how to support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, resulting in ineffective teaching that is not matched to the children's needs. Staff adequately support some children to develop their physical development. For instance, children enjoy climbing and riding wheeled toys. Staff some help children develop their creative skills. For example, children make marks with paint and young babies make hand prints.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Staff do not support children to understand how to keep themselves safe. In addition, the ineffective key-person arrangements mean that the care needs of some children are not addressed effectively. Staff manage behaviour appropriately. Children are well behaved and understand the consequences of their actions. Staff support children's understanding of diversity. For example, they celebrate children's differences, such as through different cultural festivals. Staff support children's understanding of healthy lifestyles and provide them with sufficient amounts of nutritious food at mealtimes.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children, and in particular those children who have special educational needs and or/disabilities, make insufficient progress in their learning. Overall, children are not prepared well for their future learning, including moving to school. Young babies make secure attachments with staff and are settled and happy. Young babies enjoy crawling and walking and are inquisitive.
