p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n Although improvements have been made, staff do not consistently make the best of opportunities to extend and enhance children's development. n Staff do not provide activities that sufficiently challenge and stimulate all children to keep them motivated and interested during outdoor play experiences for those children who prefer to play outdoors. n The provider has not reflected fully on her self-evaluation. Weaknesses are not identified enough or addressed to improve practice. n Managers have not identified the progress that different groups of children make, to help swiftly identify any emerging gaps in their learning. n Although supervision is now in place, managers do not focus precisely enough on addressing inconsistencies in teaching and learning to drive improvements forward.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Parents comment positively about how quickly their children settle and develop their communication and language skills. n The new manager, with support from the provider, plans a wide range of activities inside. Children learn about other cultures and communities. For example, staff teach children how to welcome each other in different languages. n Children communicate their ideas and recall past events well. For example, they confidently share their thoughts and ideas about the weather. n Parents are encouraged to give feedback about their children's learning and their views of the provision.

n create opportunities for children to have more regular access to outdoor play and learning experiences which highly stimulate and challenge their all-round development n develop monitoring systems to provide a more precise analysis of the progress made by different groups of children, to help identify and address any gaps in their learning n develop the system for self-evaluation and enable a more precise analysis of the weaknesses identified to improve outcomes for children.

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The actions raised at the last inspection have not all been addressed fully. The provider has not yet established an effective self-evaluation system to enable her to address all of the weaknesses and drive improvements forward. The provider does not have adequate processes in place to track groups of children and consistently address any gaps in their learning. Safeguarding is effective. The provider follows recruitment procedures and staff complete an induction programme. Staff are secure in their safeguarding knowledge. They understand the procedures they must follow should they have any concerns. They have completed child protection training and know about wider safeguarding issues. The provider and newly appointed manager are developing planning and assessment methods but these are not yet fully embedded in the nursery. Managers and staff do not always identify when additional resources are needed to extend children's play during

activities inside and outside. The provider has not secured robust systems of focused support and coaching for staff to make sure all children are offered consistently high- quality learning experiences. Staff supervise children closely and deploy themselves appropriately to ensure they are safe.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Some staff do not quickly recognise when children would benefit from their interaction, to stimulate their interest and support their learning. For example, staff miss opportunities to explore life cycles and mini-beasts when children draw their attention to snails in the garden. Opportunities for older children to develop their understanding of literacy and mathematical concepts are missed during daily routines and activities, for instance, during circle time when they discuss days of the week and while they make play dough as they measure ingredients. Nonetheless, there are times when some staff support children's communication and model language to the children well. Children have opportunities to play outdoors each day. However, the activities and resources are not as well planned and organised as those available inside. Children enjoy making marks and concentrate well during activities when they are painting or using stencils and

pencils. Although staff provide a wide range of activities inside some activities are not well used and lack sufficient challenge.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children are happy and settled. Although children are not fully supported to develop their independence, they are confident and know routines well. Children have a good understanding of self-care and behave well. Staff praise children, which helps to boost their confidence and self-esteem. They are active throughout the day. Children eat healthy snacks and meals. Staff discuss healthy eating during meal times.

p.4

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children gain some skills that prepare them for the next stage in their learning. However, variations in the quality of teaching result in missed opportunities to extend some children's learning to help them make consistently good progress in readiness for school. They confidently explore the environment and lead their play. Children develop their hand-eye coordination as they confidently use scissors and develop early writing skills.
