p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. There are significant weaknesses in leadership and management that impact on children's safety, well-being and learning and development. The manager does not currently have the skills to manage the provision effectively. Leaders do not evaluate the quality of the pre-school effectively. The owner does not train and coach staff well enough to improve their professional development and teaching practice. The deputy manager, who is also the special educational needs coordinator, seeks early intervention for children. However, partnership with parents is ineffective in meeting all children's individual needs. Staff do not supervise children effectively at all times to keep them safe. They base themselves at activities and do not always observe and respond to children's challenging behaviour. For example, at inspection a group of boys continually ran around pushing each other, and other children over. In addition,

p.4

children were pushed over on the obstacle course when staff were not there supervising its use. Nevertheless, ratios are met and the premises are secure. There are sufficient staff holding a valid first-aid certificate. They follow the accident procedures and there is a complete first-aid kit available for them to use. Staff understand child protection procedures and keep their knowledge up to date. They keep their phones in a locked box when children are present and know what to do, and where to refer to, if they have concerns for a child's welfare.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Most children do not make good progress from their starting points. Staff do not develop the skills to support children to play purposefully. Staff assess children's progress. However, leaders and managers do not check the accuracy of assessments or monitor how staff use this information to reduce any gaps in children's learning and development. The quality of teaching practice is poor. Staff do not provide children with good challenge to support them to make the best possible progress. The pre-school owner and manager do not monitor teaching practice effectively. They are not aware that staff do not regularly engage or communicate with some children, including children learning English as an additional language. Staff are not effectively deployed to meet children's learning needs.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Staff do not risk assess and respond to children's challenging behaviour effectively. They do not support children to understand how to cooperate and behave appropriately for their own and others safety. For example, three children push one child along in a wheeled car and tip it over. The child cannot get out and remains lying on the ground for a while before staff notice and help him. Staff do not find out why it happens or reinforce to children how to use the resources in a safe way. The key-person system is ineffective. Staff are not positive role models. They do not adapt activities to support the inclusion of younger children, or children who are learning English as an additional language. For instance, during group discussions, these children do not learn to focus their attention and quickly lose interest. Some children who are learning English as an additional language do not develop good confidence or social skills. They spend most of the time playing on their

own with the same resources. Management and staff do provide play equipment that is safe and age appropriate. Staff form close relationships with children and help them to settle.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not develop the skills they need for starting school, including children learning English as an additional language. All children's health, safety and progress is compromised by the challenging behavior of some children. The learning environment is chaotic and does not support children to make the best possible progress.
