This provision is inadequate

 Staff have insufficient knowledge of the 'Prevent' duty and a weak understanding of the different types of abuse. The manager is not confident in her understanding of what to do in the event of an allegation being made against herself or a member of staff.  The key-person system is not securely embedded within the setting. Staff do not make the most of opportunities to involve parents and carers in their child's learning so that they can work together to help children to make good progress.  Care practices do not effectively promote children's good health, with specific regard to healthy eating, providing clean bedding, handwashing routines and reducing the risk of cross-infection.  Staff do not use information from observations and assessments of the children to plan the most challenging activities to help them to make good progress. In addition, staff do not always complete the progress check for children aged between two and three

years to ensure the early identification of any gaps in development.  The provider does not monitor or evaluate staff practice well enough.

It has the following strengths

 Staff talk to older children and use some effective teaching to encourage them to think for themselves. For example, they ask questions as they play.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Arrangements for safeguarding are ineffective. Although, staff have attended child protection training, they do not have sufficient knowledge of the different types of abuse or a clear understanding of indicators that children may be at risk of harm from extreme views. In addition, the provider has a poor understanding about what to do in the event of an allegation being made against herself or a member of staff. As a result, children's welfare is compromised. Managers support staff to attend some training courses. However, arrangements for the monitoring and coaching of staff do not adequately focus on strengthening the quality of practice in the setting. Staff understand the importance of developing relationships with other settings that children attend.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Information staff obtain from parents on entry does not include sufficient detail about children's prior learning so that planning for their learning is accurate from the start. Although staff complete assessments on children's development to help identify any gaps in children's learning and development, they do not use this information to effectively plan what children need to learn next. In addition, staff do not ensure that the written summary for the progress check for children aged between two and three years is completed. Consequently, they do not identify any gaps in learning or seek additional support when required. Nevertheless, children have fun. For example, they enjoy singing with staff and exploring musical instruments. Older children use pencils to create colourful pictures, write their names and learn to count.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in the leadership and management, and care practices, compromise children's health and safety. Staff do not follow adequate health and hygiene practices that reduce the risk of cross-infection and germs from spreading. For example, children share the same equipment to sleep and staff do not provide individual clean bedding, as required. Staff do not provide children with routines that help them to understand and follow good personal hygiene practices. Children enjoy some nutritious food but staff do not consistently support them to make healthy choices in relation to food. The key-person system does not work effectively. Children are often in a different room to their key person and insufficient information is shared. This means that staff do not provide consistency in the provision for each child's care and individual needs. Staff provide children with opportunities to develop their physical skills as they spend time outside in

the fresh air each day. Staff give children regular praise for any achievements, raising their confidence and self-esteem.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not all make the progress they are capable of and are not consistently challenged. However, they gain some of the skills that help prepare them for school or their next stage in learning. For example, they are developing some independence skills and like playing with each other and socialising.
