p.1

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

 The provider does not supervise or coach all staff effectively enough, resulting in variable support for children's learning and behaviour management.  Not all staff know how to manage children's behaviour appropriately, particularly in the pre-school room. They do not organise some parts of the daily routine effectively. Children do not consistently engage in positive play, which affects their ability to learn.  The quality of teaching is variable. Staff have not fully considered how to adapt their teaching, such as during group activities, to support all children, particularly the younger and less confident. As a result, not all children make good developmental progress.  The provider does not evaluate the provision rigorously enough, to identify and address weaknesses in nursery practice.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Parents share positive views about the staff and the service they provide. They find staff are warm and caring, and keep them informed about their children's learning and care.  Staff value children's similarities and differences. For example, they encourage children to hear and use their home languages during play, supporting an inclusive approach.  Children practise and improve their physical skills regularly. For example, they enjoy balancing on crates and using age-appropriate equipment in the garden.  Staff check the premises and follow suitable procedures to protect children's health, such as when playing outside in hot weather. Staff supervise children appropriately.

p.2

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities indoors and outdoors. She spoke to staff and interacted with children at appropriate times.  The inspector checked documents relating to the suitability and qualifications of staff, and sampled documentation, including safeguarding procedures, accident records and risk assessment procedures. She sampled children's learning records.  The inspector discussed with the provider and nursery manager how they evaluate their provision and target improvements.  The inspector spoke to parents during the inspection to gain their views about the nursery.  The inspector carried out a joint observation with the nursery manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management requires improvement

The provider does not evaluate the effectiveness of the provision rigorously enough, to identify and target all areas for improvement, such as weaknesses in teaching and behaviour management. Safeguarding is effective. The provider follows appropriate recruitment and vetting procedures to check staff's suitability. She makes suitable referrals to relevant agencies in the event of a concern about staff's ongoing suitability, to help keep children safe. The provider and staff have sufficient knowledge of child protection issues, including how to report any concerns to protect children's welfare. The provider offers staff some training opportunities. For example, staff have completed relevant first- aid training which increased their confidence to deal with minor accidents and incidents. However, staff supervision is not sufficient to raise the quality of their practice and skills because not all staff receive the right levels of guidance and support.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff do not consistently plan group activities that are suited to the needs of the very young and less confident children. For example, staff do not interact well with all children during 'circle time' and cooking activities. The very young and less confident children are not suitably challenged. They become bored and restless. As a result, not all children are motivated to learn. This limits children's overall learning. That said, staff observe and assess children's progress regularly. They talk, sing and read stories to the children to help support their language skills. Children use their linguistic abilities as they count in English and French, developing their early mathematical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Some children do not learn to behave appropriately because staff do not make their rules and boundaries clear enough. For example, staff struggle to manage children's behaviour when pre-school children snatch toys or are unkind to each other. This disrupts the learning of other children and does not build their self-confidence. In some age groups, staff do not organise the daily routines as effectively as possible. During the inspection, for instance, children were left waiting too long between trips to the bathroom and outdoor play. As a result, children became unsettled and displayed negative behaviour. Having said that, staff provide children with some opportunities to develop their independence skills. For instance, younger children help to tidy away the toys enthusiastically and older children manage their personal needs. Children enjoy playing in the home corner, making 'coffee' and 'bread', which supports their imagination.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Some children do not make good enough progress because of the inconsistencies in teaching. Younger and less confident children find group activities lack suitable challenge or are too long. Not all children learn how to express their feelings and emotions in a positive manner. Despite that, some children have a wonderful time splashing water during play and others practise their early writing for different purposes. Children learn some basic skills they need for their future learning, including their move on to school.
