 The inspector reviewed documents, including records relating to children's safety and health, children's learning records, documentation relating to staff, and attendance registers for children and staff.  The inspector observed an activity that took place with children and discussed this with the provider.  The inspector observed the interactions between children and staff, and assessed the impact of these on children's learning.  The inspector spoke with staff at appropriate times and sought the views of parents.  The inspector met with the provider and deputy manager.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is inadequate

The provider has not made sufficient progress towards addressing weaknesses identified at the previous inspection, such as working in partnership with others. She does not work with other professionals and parents to meet children's needs. Safeguarding is ineffective. The provider is unable to demonstrate that checks are made to assess the ongoing suitability of staff. This does not assure children's welfare. The provider has not taken action to give effective support to staff and demonstrates a lack of understanding about how to monitor or assess children's learning. She does not ensure that staff provide activities that challenge and motivate children to learn. The provider and her staff know how to identify and report concerns about children's welfare. The provider takes account of the views of parents. For example, she has reviewed children's sleep routines to take greater account of their individual needs.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The provider has not checked that assessment of children's learning is accurate. Staff do not receive support to help them identify specific gaps in children's learning. The provider is the special educational needs coordinator. She does not effectively monitor the progress of children at risk of falling behind in their learning or review the effectiveness of strategies to help close gaps in learning, with the involvement of parents. The provider does not check that staff plan activities that prepare children well for school. Children have few opportunities to develop and use the languages they hear at home.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management significantly contribute to the welfare of children being compromised. Children are not well prepared for their moves to school. For example, staff do not seek information from parents about which school children will attend or discuss how they can be prepared for change. This does not help to protect children's emotional well-being. Children learn how to maintain their good health as they eat healthy meals and snacks that reflect their individual dietary needs.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not make the progress of which they are capable, particularly those who need support with their communication and language. They are not all well prepared for their next stages in learning. Older children have few opportunities to solve problems or use their critical-thinking skills. Children who need extra help to keep up with their peers do not receive the support they need to close potential gaps in their learning.
