Staff do not understand fully how to implement the safeguarding policies and procedures to protect children from harm. n The management team does not make sure that staff are deployed effectively to supervise children in ways that keep them safe and support their learning and development. n The management team does not monitor staff practice or ensure they develop their skills.

p.3

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is ineffective. A concern was recently raised when injuries to children were not noticed or followed up by staff. The nominated individual admits that she did not have effective systems in place to record injuries to children. She has now implemented a system for noting injuries on children when they come into the setting. However, staff are still unsure about how and when to follow up concerns about the welfare of children, which compromises children's safety and well-being. Appropriate systems are not in place to record, and to ensure parents are aware, each time a medicine is administered to a child. The nominated individual's management of the setting is poor. She does not ensure that staff are deployed effectively to maintain children's safety and to support their learning and development. She fails to monitor staff practice well or support staff to fulfil their roles and responsibilities in meeting children's needs. The staff do not provide

stimulating, welcoming play spaces for the children. There are not enough resources for the children to engage their interests and support their learning. Although most staff are well qualified, this is not reflected in the quality of their teaching. They do not recognise when they need to adapt activities to meet the needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities or those who are learning English as an additional language. Staff build relationships with parents and talk with them about what children do. However, staff have not told parents who their child's key person is and miss chances to share information with them to support better planning for children's learning and development. All children fail to make good progress in their learning and development.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The quality of teaching is poor. Staff do not provide sufficient resources or challenge during activities to help children engage fully in learning. For example, when doing a painting activity, staff give children a single roller, brown paint and a paper plate. They do not listen to children or talk to them about what they are doing. Children become bored and are not interested in the activity. Older children do not sustain attention or concentration. For example, when making cards they quickly lose interest as there are not enough pens to draw with and other children running about distract them. Staff have started to monitor children's learning but this is not accurate. Staff are not aware of what children can do and do not plan effectively to help children make progress. Children have the opportunity to develop physical and creative skills. For example, a sports coach and drama teacher come in to work with the children. However, the children do not get

the most out of these activities as staff do not help the coaches to maintain children's attention and concentration during the activities, and often leave or walk away as they become bored.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children are often left to wander or run around the play space indoors. Staff do not give children clear messages to help them understand how to play together and when they need to listen to others. For example, staff do not notice when children push each other to get a toy from another child. They do not help children understand about respect for others. For example, when it is quiet time after lunch, the children refuse to listen to a story and continue to throw toys or run about, even after staff ask them to sit and listen. Staff do not know how to use different strategies to engage children's interest and help them to concentrate. The deployment of staff sometimes compromises children's safety. For example, staff fail to see children run into the art room, which locks automatically when the door is shut. They only know that children have run in here as they hear the door slam shut.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not receive the support they need to make good progress in their learning and development. They are not helped to gain the skills they need to prepare them for their next steps in learning at the nursery or for their move on to school. There are not enough resources to engage children's interest or sustain their concentration to enhance their learning effectively. Children frequently run around, shouting and chasing each other looking for inspiration.
