p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The manager is new in post and knows the areas that need developing. She has an action plan in place, but this is not being addressed quickly enough to have an impact on the current provision for children. n The manager does not ensure the key-person system is meeting the needs of all children. Staff are regularly moved to work in different rooms around the nursery. This does not support children's emotional well-being or enable them to develop secure attachments. Furthermore, staff do not share enough information with parents about their children's learning. n The manager does not have appropriate arrangements in place for the supervision of staff. They do not have a specified time where they can share any concerns or issues they may have. n The manager does not use additional funding effectively. She does not review the individual needs of children to determine how the money should be used to improve

outcomes for children. n The manager does not have an effective system in place to monitor ongoing child protection concerns. This puts children at risk of further harm. n The manager does not have an effective monitoring process in place. She does not know if all children are making progress and does not identify any gaps in their learning and development accurately.

It has the following strengths

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Leaders ensure that staff access regular safeguarding training. Staff know the process they must follow if they have concerns about a child or a member of staff. However, the manager, who is also the designated lead for safeguarding, has failed to monitor and follow up ongoing child protection concerns in a timely and appropriate way. This does not promote children's welfare. Safeguarding is not effective. Leaders have a robust recruitment and induction process. However, the manager does not have an effective supervision process in place. She does not monitor staff performance regularly or support staff to review and improve their own practice. The manager is not able to monitor the breadth of the curriculum to ensure any gaps in provision are addressed. Parents state that they like the setting and access information through an online system. However, they do not fully understand the early years foundation stage or how they can

support their child at home, to further develop their individual learning.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

Teaching is not consistent across the nursery. Staff in the baby room interact well with the youngest children. However, interactions across the rest of the nursery are poor. Staff leave children for long periods of time without any adult engagement. Children find resources to play with for themselves. Staff plan activities, but these are not always based on what children can do, their interests or their next steps in learning. The staff are redeployed around the nursery and, consequently, do not know the children well enough. Staff do not always notice when children become bored and restless during activities. They are not able to quickly adapt their teaching to meet the needs of all children.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Staff do not encourage children to be independent. For example, they serve children their food and do not allow them to make choices about what, or how much they want to eat. Staff do not talk to children about how to keep themselves healthy, particularly at mealtimes. Staff in the baby room support children's individual care routines well. For example, they sing rhymes and talk to babies as they change their nappies. Children do have fun and play well together. They state they enjoy playing with their friends. This is demonstrated by children playing in the blue 'gloop', laughing as they pour it over each other's arms and hands.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

The manager does not know if all children are making progress. Staff do not always support older children to be prepared for the next stage of their learning and their move to school. Younger children practise their early walking skills. For example, they pull themselves up and hold on to the tray while playing with spoons scooping the sand.
