What the setting needs to do to improve further

Inspection activities n The inspector observed the quality of teaching indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on the children's learning. n The inspector completed a joint observation of an activity with the manager. n The inspector held a management meeting and looked at the relevant documentation, such as children's assessment records, staff's records and the record of complaints. n The inspector spoke to the parents during the inspection and took account of their views. n The inspector held discussions with the manager, staff and committee chair at appropriate times during the inspection.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The manager and staff do not demonstrate a sufficient understanding of current safeguarding issues. Consequently, children's safety and welfare are not assured. The manager does not use staff supervision meetings effectively to support staff's knowledge and understanding, improve their personal effectiveness and raise the quality of their teaching. The manager has not ensured that all staff preparing and handling food are trained to do so, as required. The manager has failed to inform Ofsted of the committee member changes within the required timescales. The manager is eager to improve and has identified some weaknesses in practice. However, not enough has been done to provide better outcomes for children. Staff identify gaps in children's learning but the monitoring of children's ongoing progress is not yet effective to ensure strategies are put in place to close gaps quickly.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The quality of teaching is variable. Staff working with the older children suitably observe them and use this information to plan interesting activities. Staff listen to children and give them choices of what they would like to play with. They generally help children to develop good communication and social skills. Staff use opportunities to read books with children, hold meaningful conversations and ask a range of questions to help children think for themselves. However, staff working with the younger children do not plan activities that appropriately challenge or motivate children to learn. Staff generally interact with children but they are not identifying how to build on and extend their knowledge and skills. Staff miss opportunities to extend children's learning as they take them for walks to the local park.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's safety and welfare cannot be assured. Staff have limited knowledge of what might alert them to wider safeguarding issues. Ofsted have not received information to confirm the suitability of all committee members. Staff conduct risk assessments to keep children safe, they supervise children closely and deal with any accidents appropriately. Each child is allocated a key person and all parents are informed about this process. Parents speak highly of the setting and are happy with the care their children receive. However, partnerships with parents and other settings children attend are not effective to ensure a consistent two-way flow of information to support children's learning and development fully. Children are settled and confident. Staff act as positive role models and teach children about respect and diversity.

p.4

Outcomes for children require improvement

Not all children make consistently good progress because of weaknesses in planning, assessments and teaching. Younger children are not consistently supported the build on their knowledge and skills. However, pre-school children, including those who speak English as an additional language, generally make good progress in their learning from the time they start. They are ready for their eventual move on to school. Older children use world maps to discuss where their families are from and what languages are used in those countries. They are developing their literacy and mathematical skills as they are encouraged to recognise their name in print, develop their understanding of letter sounds, and count and order numbers.
