p.1

This provision is inadequate

 The provider has failed to ensure that all staff have the required checks to verify their suitability to work with children. This compromises children's welfare and safety.  The provider does not ensure that staff maintain an accurate daily record of the hours of children's attendance.  The provider fails to monitor the quality of teaching and children's learning effectively. She has not identified weaknesses in staff practice.  Assessment is weak. Staff do not assess children's progress accurately, including the progress check for children at age two. They do not plan activities that support children's individual needs and stage of development. This significantly hinders their progress and children are not prepared for school.  Staff do not provide activities that are suitable for each specific age group to ensure that children are fully engaged and motivated to learn. At times, they do not organise

routines effectively and children become bored.

p.1

It has the following strengths

 Partnerships with parents support children to settle and to build relationships. For example, parents attend workshops at the setting to support their children at home. This includes making healthy food choices.  Staff are friendly and caring and children build good relationships with them.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed teaching practices and the impact these have on children's learning.  The inspector held discussions with the manager, staff, children and parents.  The inspector read some of the setting's documentation, including the safeguarding policy and procedures.  The inspector sampled children's development information and records.  The inspector carried out joint observations with the manager.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The provider has failed to follow robust recruitment and vetting procedures. She has not obtained the required suitability checks for all staff working at the setting. She allows staff whose suitably has not been checked to hold management positions, including a responsibility for safeguarding children. This means that vulnerable children's safety cannot be assured. Staff do not keep an accurate record of the hours that children attend. This means that it is unclear which children are present at any given time. Staff have completed safeguarding training and have a secure understanding of the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's well- being. The provider does not review the quality of the provision successfully. She does not monitor the quality of teaching and children's learning effectively. Staff receive some training, however, this does not target areas of poor practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Ongoing assessment of children's learning is inaccurate and staff have a poor understanding of the progress that children are making. This means that staff do not challenge all children to help them achieve success in their next stage of learning. They do not assess children's progress accurately when they first start, to enable them to plan activities that match their stage of development. Some staff do not fully complete the progress check for children at age two. As a result, gaps in children's learning and development are not identified and addressed. Staff do not consider the varying needs of children in planned group activities. They expect two-year-old children to sit for up to 30 minutes in larg- group sessions and do not recognise when they lose interest. Staff do not vary the activities for children who attend both morning and afternoon sessions. This means that children must sit through the same activities twice, which results in them

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management compromise children's safety and well- being. Staff interrupt children's play and learning with unnecessary waiting, and at times children become restless. Children have some opportunities to develop their physical skills. They select from a range of equipment, such as a slide and cars, during outdoor play. Children learn about making healthy choices, including limiting food treats and dental hygiene.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children's overall learning and development experience is poor. Inaccurate assessment and ineffective teaching have a negative impact on the progress that children make. They are not well prepared for the next steps in their learning.
