p.1

This provision is inadequate

 Teaching is ineffective. Staff do not identify and plan for children's individual learning needs or provide activities that offer the correct level of challenge. For example, at times, children are expected to manage tasks themselves and other, simpler, tasks are completed by staff. Children are not inspired to learn and do not make good progress.  The systems for staff supervision are poor. Managers identify staff underperformance but do not take effective action to support individual staff to improve their skills.  The key-person system is not effective. Children do not make strong attachments to their key person, and their emotional needs are not met.  Staff deployment is not effective. Staff do not work effectively together as a team to support children's learning and development.  Systems of self-evaluation and reflection are weak. They do not effectively identify areas of weakness or areas for improvement.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed, listened to and spoke to staff and children as they played indoors and outdoors during the inspection.  The inspector completed joint observations with one of the managers. Together they discussed how staff training and performance contributed to children's learning and development.  The inspector held meetings with the owner and managers to discuss the vision for the future of the setting and raising children's outcomes.  The inspector spoke to parents available on the day of inspection and took note of parents' written views.  The inspector sampled documentation, including staff suitability checks and children's records.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Staff supervision is ineffective. Managers identify staff weaknesses but fail to implement any effective coaching and training to make a positive impact on staff performance. At times, staff practice is very poor, although staff recruitment is robust and new staff follow a thorough induction programme. Staffing ratios are met, but staff deployment is not effective in meeting the needs of children. The staff team does not work effectively together. For example, staff tidy up and cook meals rather than spend time interacting with children. Safeguarding is effective. The owner and managers ensure all staff are knowledgeable about child protection and the procedures to follow if they have any concerns. Links with other settings and professionals are not well established, which does not support continuity for children's care and learning. Parents say they are happy with the care their children receive. Staff and parents' views are considered when the manager

p.4

evaluates the setting. However, this process is not effective in identifying weaker areas.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Teaching does not meet individual children's needs or help them to make progress in their learning and development. Staff do not have the skills or knowledge to be able to support children well. They plan activities that lack challenge and fail to motivate or engage children. For example, a Chinese New Year colouring activity was overly directive and children wandered away quickly. Children do not engage in purposeful play. Younger children, for example, who are newer to the setting drift about and do not receive positive interactions from staff. Older children spend excessive amounts of time on the tablet computers and do not access many other activities in the setting. Staff accurately monitor the progress individual children make but the manager does not support them to target teaching to ensure that all make suitable progress. Children who have identified gaps in their learning and development have some support, such as small-group or one-to-one

p.4

activities. Poor quality of teaching means that this support has very little impact on closing gaps in children's learning and development.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The learning environment is attractively laid out, but many activities and resources do not interest children. They quickly become bored and, at times, their behaviour is rowdy and uncontrollable. For example, staff shout above the high noise levels to ask children to stop running around aimlessly indoors. Staff are not good role models for children and do not support their emotional welfare. At times, for instance, children do not have any meaningful contact with their key person for the duration of a session. Younger children sometimes become tearful and unengaged. Children have the opportunity to enjoy a hot cooked meal and healthy snacks at the setting. They enjoy playing outdoors and exploring the local area, such as going on nature walks to watch the seasons change.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not learn the independence skills they need to be ready to move on to school. For example, children find their coats before going outdoors, but wait in a line to have them put on and done up. Poor teaching has a negative effect on children's outcomes and they do not make the progress of which they are capable. Not enough children are working within the range of expected development before they move on to school. For example, children do not develop thinking or problem-solving skills as they do not have the opportunity when taking part in adult-led activities. Children enjoy playing with their friends and develop some social skills.
