This means that important information may not be shared with relevant agencies in a timely manner. n Staff do not keep an accurate record of accidents or injuries, as required. n The arrangements in place to support children joining the setting are not fully embedded to ensure that all children build strong attachments to their key person. n Sometimes, staff do not recognise when to intervene and challenge children to develop their thinking skills further. n In the mornings, staff do not consistently provide older children with a good range of resources and purposeful activities to choose from.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Arrangements to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are not effectively used. Interventions and support are not swiftly implemented to ensure that children are supported to make the best possible progress. However, the manager has taken steps to develop assessment procedures to improve the outcomes for children. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and her staff talk confidently about the signs that indicate a child may be at risk of abuse, neglect or being drawn into extreme behaviours or ideas. They know the procedures they must follow to report any concerns. The manager has implemented a secure system for supervision and peer observation, to develop staff practice and identify training needs. For example, staff are scheduled to attend sign language training to develop communication skills further. However, monitoring systems to ensure that staff have a thorough understanding of health and

safety procedures are not fully effective. The arrangements to deal with an accident are appropriate, but staff do not keep the required records. Overall, partnerships with parents are good. Parents speak highly of the good communication that they receive about their children's development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their observations and assessments to plan age-appropriate next steps to support children's learning. Young children have good opportunities to develop their creative skills. For instance, they concentrate well as they pour glitter and lentils through funnels to make sensory bottles. Staff capture children's interest in books well. Children listen intently as staff enthusiastically read stories and are eager to point out what is happening. Older children are supported to develop their understanding of mathematical concepts. For example, they eagerly await their turn as they select objects to match colours and shapes. Others enjoy taking part in number games with staff as they learn to count numbers up to 100.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Although settling-in arrangements are in place, these are not used effectively to help children feel emotionally secure. In the mornings, staff do not effectively use their knowledge of older children's interests to plan the environment in order to quickly engage them in activities. Despite this, children's behaviour is good. Staff are good role models and encourage all children to be kind, share and take turns. Children develop good self-care skills. For instance, they enjoy serving their meals. Staff sit with the children at mealtimes and encourage them to use good table manners. Individual care routines of the youngest children are positive and nurturing. Staff sing gently to babies as they cuddle up for bottles and soothe them as they fall asleep.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points, including those who speak English as an additional language. Children understand that print carries meaning as they explore factual books about mini-beasts to learn about the spider they found in the garden. Children demonstrate high levels of concentration as they learn how to control the computer mouse to make items bigger and smaller. 2019 4 of 5
