This provision is inadequate

n Safeguarding procedures are not implemented effectively. Leaders have failed to report concerns about a child's welfare to the relevant agencies to seek their advice and guidance swiftly enough. This places children's welfare at significant risk and compromises their safety. n Occasionally, staff's expectations of what children can understand are too high. Sometimes when they ask children questions, they provide them with too much information at once and then do not give them enough time to think things through and come up with answers.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff are committed to helping children make a smooth transition on to school. They talk to them about their new school, new teacher and what they can expect to change in their daily routine. This helps children to be prepared emotionally for the change ahead. n Staff make good use the information they obtain from parents about their children's interests and abilities. They combine this information with their own observations and make accurate assessments of the progress children make. This helps staff to plan specifically for children's individual learning needs. n Leaders effectively monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching and its impact on children's learning. As a result, there has been an increased focus on the educational programme for mathematics and the outcomes for children's mathematical skills have steadily improved. n Leaders and managers make good use of additional funds for the children it is provided

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are ineffective. Leaders have failed to ensure that their safeguarding procedures are robustly implemented. Advice is not always sought swiftly enough when there are concerns about children's welfare. This compromises children's safety and well-being. However, staff can identify possible signs and symptoms of abuse and are aware of wider child protection issues, such as extremism and radicalisation. Leaders implement an effective recruitment procedure that helps to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. Staff have regular meetings to discuss their professional development. Their morale is good and they work well as a team. The manager considers the views of parents and children in the self-evaluation process. However, she does not reflect well enough on practice to ensure children are adequately safeguarded.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, staff know children well. They know their personalities and how they prefer to learn. This helps them to maintain children's interest and motivation. Children enjoy exploring independently in an environment that offers many challenges. Staff are quick to offer support should children need or look for it. For example, children use a real hammer to break lumps of ice but find the ice difficult to hold. Staff encourage and praise children as they try alternative ways. Children stamp on the ice and throw it on the floor and against the wall until they find the way that works for them. Children are intrigued as they explore dead fish. They use a magnifying glass and tweezers to look inside and find out if fish have bones or muscles. Staff introduce new words to extend children's vocabulary, such as 'fin', 'scales' and 'gills'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's safety and welfare are not promoted. Nevertheless, the learning environment is interesting and exciting and offers children many learning opportunities through play. The daily routine is flexible and staff adapt it easily for those who need to rest and sleep. Children are eager to play outside. Staff make sure children have suitable clothing and footwear, so they can go outside in all but the most extreme weather conditions. Staff are deployed well. They closely support children as they learn how to use tools, such as hammers and scissors, safely. Children learn the importance of good health and hygiene routines. For example, they brush their teeth and know when to wash their hands to get rid of germs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and develop the skills they need for the next stage of their education. Children are active and interested learners who ask questions and listen to answers. They communicate well both verbally and through sign language. Children have good physical skills and socialise well.
