p.1

The provision is inadequate

n The provider has failed to check the suitability of two members of staff by not carrying out Disclosure Barring Service Checks on them. This significantly compromises children's safety. n The provider does not use effective self-evaluation systems to identify any weaknesses linked to breaches in requirements. n Staff do miss some opportunities to adapt activities to meet the learning needs of different aged children.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff work in partnership with parents to support children to achieve and meet their individual needs. Parents speak highly of staff and how they have helped their child to progress since they started at the nursery. n The provider monitors children's progress to help identify any gaps in learning. Children progress from their individual starting points.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The provider has failed to make suitable checks on staff to assess their suitability. She has not carried out a Disclosure Barring Service Check on two new members of staff. Therefore, recruitment procedures are not robust which compromises children's safety. Staff know how to identify any signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm and follow reporting requirements. Staff are alert to the signs that may mean children are at risk of extreme views and ideas. The provider carries out regular supervisory meetings with staff and offers training opportunities to support their professional development. The manager has begun to evaluate some areas of practice, but has failed to check that she is meeting all legal requirements of the 'Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage'.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe and assess children's development and plan for their next steps in learning. They know the children well and are in tune with what stimulates their interests. Staff plan a range of varied activities indoors and outdoors to capture children's imaginations and motivate them to succeed. Staff support children's communication and language skills well. For example, children enjoy taking part in story sessions and contribute by turning the pages of the book and anticipating what comes next. Children develop their physical skills effectively with support from staff. For instance, children enjoy climbing, riding wheeled toys, running and chasing each other outside.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weakness in safeguarding means that children's welfare and safety is compromised. Staff are good role models from which children can learn from. Staff are kind and warm towards children, who are content, secure and responsive. Children are well-mannered and understand behaviour rules for their age and stage of development. Staff support children to be able to manage their personal needs. For example, children follow hygiene routines throughout the day. Staff help children to understand how to keep safe. For instance, children follow staff instructions as they walk carefully and slowly along the corridor and then walk down the stairs which lead to the garden.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for their eventual move on to school. Young babies demonstrate a sense of self as an individual and want to do things independently. Older children enjoy the responsibility of carrying out small tasks and helping staff to tidy away. Children manipulate different materials to achieve a planned effect during creative play activities. Children sing a few familiar songs and begin to move rhythmically. They explore the different sounds of instruments.
