This provision is inadequate

n The provider has not taken effective action to respond to weaknesses previously identified by inspectors. There are a significant number of breaches of the statutory requirements relating to the safeguarding and welfare of children. n Leaders and managers do not make sure that the premises are safe and secure. Staff fail to identify and minimise clear risks to children, and they do not accurately record details of children who are present at the nursery. Leaders do not make sure that all records are available for inspectors. n Leaders and managers do not monitor the performance of staff, and they do not take action to respond to significant weaknesses in teaching. Staff do not plan challenging activities to support children to develop and progress. They do not provide effective support for children who speak English as an additional language, and they do not always model the correct use of English when talking to children.

p.1

This provision is inadequate

n Leaders and managers are not clear on the action they would take should an allegation of harm be made against a member of staff. Staff take their personal mobile phones with them when taking children to and from school. The safeguarding policy and procedure does not cover the potential safeguarding risk this practice presents, or how such risk should be minimised. n Children do not make enough progress in their learning. Leaders and managers do not monitor the progress of different groups of children. n Staff do not manage children's behaviour effectively, they do not supervise children closely enough to keep them safe, and they do not pay attention to children and comfort them when they are upset or distressed. Staff do not make sure that children have washed their hands before eating. Leaders and managers do not make sure that all areas of the premises are clean.

p.3

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Leaders and managers do not comply with the statutory requirements in place to keep children safe. Leaders do not manage the nursery effectively. On the day of the inspection, the provider knew that the lock on the front door to the nursery was broken. Inspectors were able to walk directly into the nursery without challenge from staff. This means that the nursery premises were not secure, and children were at risk of harm from unknown individuals entering the premises. During the inspection, the inspectors had to ask the provider to take action to remove a number of hazards to children. Inspectors observed a hot drink left above where children were playing. Staff were using a hot fan heater within reach of children. This posed a significant risk of injury to children. Staff needed to remove unsafe play equipment, weeds and broken toys from the outside area. Safeguarding is not effective. The provider is not clear on the action

she would take if she became aware that a member of staff may have harmed a child. Leaders and managers do not provide effective guidance to staff on the safe use of personal mobile phones. Leaders and managers do not have suitable arrangements in place for the supervision of staff, and do not effectively observe staff practice. This means that leaders are not aware of significant weaknesses in teaching. Staff are highly qualified. However, leaders do not provide opportunities for staff to improve their practice. Leaders and managers do not gain the views of parents when considering how to improve standards. Leaders and managers do not have an accurate view of the strengths and weaknesses of the nursery.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

On the day of the inspection, teaching lacked purpose and was very repetitive. For example, staff read children the same story three times during the morning session. Staff do not plan for their use of the outdoor area of the nursery. The outdoor environment is poorly resourced and does not provide challenge. Staff interaction with children is weak. At times, staff do not allow children time to respond to a question before interrupting them. Staff do not always model speaking in full sentences to children. This means that children are not taught the correct use of spoken English. Staff make assessments of children's learning. However, they do not link these assessments to their planning. As a result, staff do not plan activities effectively to meet children's learning needs. Staff do not always share children's assessments with parents.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Breaches of the statutory requirements on the day of the inspection mean that children are not safe at the nursery. Staff fail to support children to gain confidence and self- motivation to become independent. For example, before going outside, staff put children's coats on for them instead of allowing children to attempt this themselves. Children's behaviour was extremely poor on the day of the inspection. Inspectors observed children hiding under tables and running around the dining table at mealtimes. Staff do not set clear boundaries for children. This means that children do not know what staff expect of them. Staff do not supervise children closely to make sure that they are safe. During the inspection, inspectors needed to intervene on a number of occasions to prevent children from injuring themselves. Staff do not act promptly to take care of children if they are feeling sad or unsettled. For example, inspectors observed a

child crying. Staff were not clear on who should have been caring for him and did not respond quickly enough to offer comfort. As a result, staff do not provide effective support for children's emotional well-being.

p.5

Outcomes for children are inadequate

The majority of the children attending the nursery are at risk of delay in their learning. Staff have not identified gaps in children's development. Staff have not taken action to make sure that all children make progress. Children's listening and attention skills are poor. Older children do not show that they are gaining the skills they will need for school.
