Outcomes for children Requires improvement

p.1

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

n Some children have had several key persons. Other children, who have moved rooms within the nursery are yet to be allocated one. This has a negative impact on children's well-being and has led to inconsistent information sharing with parents about their child's day and ongoing progress. n Observations of children are not carried out in a timely way to ensure they capture children's individual interests and are used effectively to help staff plan more meaningful activities that promote the next steps in their learning. n The monitoring of staff's practice is not rigorous enough in helping them improve their teaching skills and implementing best practice. n Systems for self-evaluation do not include the views of all stakeholders to further improve the quality of the provision.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff work in partnership with other professionals involved in children's care and learning. This means that children who require additional support make consistent progress from their starting points. n The nursery is bright, warm and welcoming. The learning environments are well resourced to help children make independent choices in their play. Staff are energetic and enthusiastic.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Safeguarding is effective. Risk assessments are in place for the nursery and for vehicles used to transport children. The setting is safe and secure. Staff are well qualified and deployed well to ensure the correct adult-to-child ratios are maintained. Staff have a secure knowledge of how to identify the signs that children could be at risk of harm. They know the procedures to follow if they have concerns. The manager spends some time in the rooms with staff. He gives them some feedback on the quality of their teaching. However, he does not always focus on the areas that require improvement. For example, he does not check the quality and consistency of staff's observations and planning. Systems for self-evaluation do not include the views of parents to help drive forward improvements. That said, the manager and staff complete an annual review of the provision. They have evaluated the learning environments to include more open-

ended and natural resources. Plans are in place to further develop the outdoor area for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

' The recent high turnover of staff has led to inconsistencies in the quality and frequency of staff's observations of children. As a result, activity planning is not sharply focused to help each individual child makes the best possible progress. Staff teach the basics well. They purposefully play with children, listen to them and ask meaningful questions as they play. For example, children listen attentively to a favourite story, talk about the characters and predict what might happen next. This helps to promote their communication, listening and attention skills. Younger children excitedly explore a range of sensory baskets. They delight as they bang items together to create different sounds.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Weaknesses in leadership and management and the quality of teaching, learning and assessment mean that not all children are supported to reach their full potential and build strong relationships with staff. Additionally, this had led to inconsistent information sharing with parents. For example, parents say that of late, their children have had several key persons and information sharing has declined from previous months. Staff support children to be independent. For example, children help themselves to a drink of water from the dispenser. Main meals provided for the children are healthy and meet their unique dietary requirements. Staff follow good hygiene procedures and change children according to their individual needs. Staff are good role models who treat children fairly and with respect. Children behave well and are kind and courteous to each other and the staff.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children do not consistently make enough progress in their learning and development. Nevertheless, they learn some of the skills they will need to prepare them for their eventual move to school. Children learn to play together in small groups and can communicate their needs and ideas. They learn mathematical skills as they match colours, sort objects and count how many they have.
