This provision is inadequate

n The provider and acting manager have insufficient knowledge of the statutory requirements, including what changes must be notified to Ofsted. The pre-school did not have a manager at the time of the inspection. n The provider has failed to notify Ofsted of significant events, including changes to the manager and changes to the committee. This means Ofsted has been unable to carry out all the required checks to determine the committee members' suitability for their role. n The provider does not have a good understanding of safer recruitment procedures. They do no follow robust recruitment procedures to ensure all staff are suitable to work with children. n The pre-school staff have not followed the correct procedure when dealing with concerns about a child. This puts children's safety at risk. n The pre-school staff do not have sufficient knowledge of their responsibilities regarding the Data Protection Act.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. The provider and acting manager have a poor knowledge and understanding of the statutory requirements, and how to implement these. The provider has not notified Ofsted of significant events at the pre-school, including changes in manager and changes to the committee. The provider has failed to ensure that the suitability of staff is thoroughly checked before they start working with children. As a result, some staff start work without sufficient references. Staff have an awareness of the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect, and know the procedure to follow. However, previous incidents have not been dealt with in the inappropriate way, leaving children at risk. The provider and acting manager have established partnerships with parents, who are regularly kept up to date with their child's progress. The acting manager and staff are motivated to improve their knowledge and skills. For instance,

recent training has helped them to support children with special educational needs further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The acting manager and staff work hard to provide children with good learning experiences. Staff make regular observations and assessments of children's learning to plan for their next steps. Staff are enthusiastic and involved in children's play. Staff skilfully extend children's learning and vocabulary. For example, during a space activity, children learn about the international space station and what it is used for. Staff provide opportunities to support children's creative skills and engage children in conversations to discuss their ideas. For instance, children thoroughly enjoy making Christmas trees from play dough and decorating them with a range of resources.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in safeguarding mean that children's welfare is not assured. Nevertheless, children are given opportunities to develop their independence. For example, children pour their own drinks and put on their own coats. Children's physical developed is supported well, and they have daily access to fresh air and exercise. Children thoroughly enjoy running outside and are beginning to learn about risk as they help staff to assess whether a slope is too wet to climb up. Children behave well. Staff support children to share, take turns and learn the rules of the pre-school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children, including those receiving additional funding, make good progress in their learning. Children work collaboratively together as they race balls down drain pipes. Children are becoming confident with mathematics as they learn to count and compare sizes. Children develop the necessary skills and attitudes that help to prepare them for their future learning, including their move on to school.
