The provision is inadequate

n Safeguarding is not effective. The designated safeguarding lead is present at the setting on a part-time basis and there is no deputy on site. Staff cannot always reach someone with the required training and knowledge to discuss potential concerns about children's safety and welfare. Children's safety is compromised because this creates potential risk of delays in safeguarding referrals being made to the relevant authorities. n Management does not have effective systems to monitor staff performance. Consequently, staff are not sufficiently well organised to meet children's individual needs. For example, children are left for long periods without interactions, teaching or support from staff while they meet the care needs of other children. n The key-person system is not effective. There is no effective communication among staff to ensure they know about the children's progress and what they need to learn

next. This impacts on staff capacity to provide targeted activities and experiences to support children's individual care and learning needs. n Assessments of children's development are not used effectively. Some are not complete and others are inaccurate. Consequently, children are not appropriately challenged to help them make good progress.

n Staff build warm and trusting relationships with the children and their families. They are nurturing in their approach. Children are confident to approach staff for cuddles and reassurance.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector completed observations in the playroom and the outdoor area, and spoke to staff and children at appropriate times. n The inspector spoke to parents to gain their views. n The inspector held a meeting with the manager/registered individual and discussed self-evaluation, the monitoring of educational programmes, safeguarding and how she manages both settings. n The inspector reviewed children's learning records and discussed the progress they were making with staff and management.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. Although the staff have a suitable understanding of procedures to follow in the event of the concern, the process includes that concerns are referred to the manager to be actioned. However, staff are not always able to contact the manager. The potential delays in referring concerns to the relevant agencies compromise children's safety. Management of the setting is weak. The systems to monitor staff performance and the educational programmes are not effective. Staff do not receive supervision to support their professional development. There is a lack of communication between staff, who work different shifts. This results in relevant information not being shared about children's development and about the organisation of activities. For example, on the day of the inspection, children remained hungry as staff had not been told that resources had been moved and they could not leave the

room to get a knife to cut up fruit at snack time until another member of staff arrived to start work.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The quality of teaching is poor. Staff have to leave some children without interaction or support for the majority of the time while they meet the care needs of other children. Activities are not sufficiently well targeted to children's individual learning needs. For example, at circle time, children lose interest as the activities are too advanced for their stage of development. Although, staff have recently implemented a new planning system, they do not have strategies in place to ensure that all staff know each child's stage of development and what they need to learn next. This means they do not provide the targeted teaching and support to help the children make good progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children are not making good enough progress in learning. They show interest in activities, but the disorganised staffing arrangements mean they are not supported enough to enable them to learn. Staff do not ensure that they have the appropriate resources before they begin activities. For example, staff take children outside to help them learn how to balance. However, the resources available are not suited to all of the children's stages of development and they are unable to participate and learn from the experience.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children are not making good enough progress in learning. They show interest in activities but because the staffing arrangements are inadequate they are not sufficiently supported to enable them to learn. For example, children go outside and staff explain the learning objective is balancing. However, the only resources available to the children are tyres, and some scooters. Some of the children are not at that developmental stage to enable them to participate.
