p.1

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

n The existing written safeguarding policy does not meet requirements as it does not cover the use of mobile phones and cameras. n Leaders do not monitor and evaluate staff practice effectively enough. The quality of teaching is variable, and not all children make good progress. n The key-person system is not used consistently to ensure staff meet the personal and emotional needs of all children. This means some children do not have the full and consistent support they need to settle and engage fully. n Leaders do not monitor information about the progress of different groups of children to ensure that activities are sufficiently tailored to meet children's learning needs. n Leader's use of self-evaluation is not fully effective in identifying the improvements required to develop practice and ensure that statutory requirements are being met. n Relationships with parents are not fully effective in helping parents extend their

It has the following strengths

n Staff provide a well-resourced welcoming environment and opportunities for children to be independent and make their own choices in play. n Staff encourage and praise positive behaviour, which helps children to play together, take turns and behave well.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector held discussions with the manager and responsible individual, at appropriate times during the inspection and in a scheduled meeting. n The inspector observed activities and staff teaching indoors and outdoors. n The inspector looked at documentation, including a sample of children's records, planning and assessment records, and staff suitability records. n The inspector took account of the views of children, staff and parents spoken to on the day of the inspection, and of the leaders self-evaluation of the nursery. n The inspector completed two joint observations with the nursery manager and the responsible individual.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Leaders do not complete regular staff supervision, observation of staff practice or evaluate the quality of the provision well enough. They have not identified the variability in staff practice or targeted professional development opportunities for staff to improve their teaching skills. The written policy for safeguarding breaches requirements. It does not inform of the safe use of mobile phones and cameras to safeguard children. Despite this, there is no significant impact on children's safety because parents, visitors and staff know the mobile phone and camera rules, and adhere to them. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a suitable knowledge and understanding of how to protect the children in their care and understand the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child's welfare. Leaders monitor the observations gathered by staff about children's learning. However, they do not track the children's individual progress or the progress of different

groups of children, to enhance their experiences and fully support their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The quality of staff teaching and communication with children to support, challenge and extend their learning differs. Staff observe children and plan some activities that are interesting to children. They set children appropriate next steps to help them learn. However, at the inspection, the delivery of these plans was not consistently good. Staff tend to over direct some activities, limiting children's learning and enjoyment. Despite this, staff interact with children in a kind way. For example, they show an interest in children's play, get down on their level and use warm body language. Parents feel well informed about their children's daily experiences. However, staff miss opportunities to help parents become more involved in extending their children's learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Staff do not have a good enough understanding of the key-person system with particular regard to meeting children's personal and emotional needs. For example, new babies who find it difficult to separate from their parents and are finding it hard to settle are not supported sufficiently by their key person. This makes it harder for them to build secure attachments and feel confident to explore. Staff are not consistently good at using the information they receive from parents about children's cultural differences, such as languages spoken at home, to promote this in their practice. Children gain respect and understanding of others. For example, staff encourage children to vote to make decisions about activities. This teaches them values, such as to respect other's opinions. Staff promote healthy eating and children benefit from daily fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Not all children make the progress of which they are capable. However, children develop some skills that prepare them appropriately for the next stage in learning and school. Children understand rules and they take responsibility for tasks. They develop some self- care skills. Children show engagement in their play and are keen to get involved and learn. For example, children in the toddler room spend long periods engaged in imaginative play in the home area, trying to cut up real vegetables.
