This provision is inadequate

n The provider does not offer staff effective support and coaching to help improve their knowledge and teaching practice. n The provider does not ensure that all staff have a sufficient knowledge of current and wider safeguarding issues, particularly the 'Prevent' duty agenda. This puts children's welfare at risk. n Some staff do not observe and assess children's learning adequately. This results in ineffective teaching. n Staff do not plan activities that are stimulating and suitably challenging to keep children motivated to learn. Outdoor resources lack considerable planning and imagination. Children do not make adequate progress. n Self-evaluation is weak. The provider does not have an accurate overview of the quality of the provision. She has taken ineffective steps to tackle some of the identified weaknesses in practice.

p.1

It has the following strengths

She takes appropriate steps to deal with complaints and allegations against staff. n The provider assigns a key person to individual children, who forms positive relationships with them. Children show that they are settled and emotionally secure. n Children have opportunities to develop their independence skills, such as at meal times.

She interacted with children at appropriate times during the inspection. n The inspector held meetings with the provider and the nursery manager. She discussed with them how they evaluate the provision and the safeguarding procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The provider has failed to recognise that staff receive inadequate support and training to develop their professional effectiveness. This does not ensure that staff are confident in their roles and responsibilities. Safeguarding is ineffective. Some staff lack knowledge of child protection issues, particularly the signs that are associated with extreme views and behaviours. This does not ensure that children are safeguarded appropriately. However, staff are aware of the reporting procedures to follow should they need to report a concern about a child or the behaviour of another adult. The provider does not reflect on the provision rigorously to identify all areas for improvement, particularly with regard to children's learning and welfare. She does not tackle weaknesses promptly enough to improve outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Some staff do not observe and monitor children's progress adequately to identify next steps in their learning. This limits staff's ability to plan stimulating and suitably challenging activities. As a result, more than occasionally, children are bored and disengaged. For example, during group activities, older children distract their peers, which hinders their learning and those of others around them. Outdoors, the learning environment is unimaginative and the resources are limited. This leads to older children using toys that are not matched to their age and stage of development. Young children do not have sufficient resources to support and extend their play. For instance, they find bowls for role play but these are empty, so they cannot develop their ideas and creativity. Nevertheless, staff talk to children and sing songs that help to develop their language and literacy skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's personal development and welfare are compromised. This is because of the weaknesses in leadership and teaching. Staff do not engage children well enough in purposeful play. This does not give children the confidence in their abilities. Despite this, staff are deployed appropriately and maintain the correct adult-to-child ratios. They provide children with nutritious food and drink that meets their individual dietary needs. Staff manage children's behaviour appropriately. They help children to recognise similarities and differences between people in the wider world. Staff inform parents about their children's development, including how they deal with accidents and incidents. Parents interviewed during the inspection gave positive feedback about the nursery. They praised staff's warm and gentle approach with the children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Children do not gain all the skills that they need for the next stage of their learning, including their move on to school. Young and older children receive inadequate stimulation and challenge to enable them to make the progress of which they are capable. For example, boys and girls have limited opportunities to build on and extend their skills, including their physical development. Despite this, children have some understanding of mathematical ideas, such as counting.
