This provision is inadequate

n The manager has not ensured that staff consistently and robustly follow the setting's medication policy. This means that a detailed and complete record is not maintained each time medication is administered to children. As a result, vital information is sometimes missing from records. Children are therefore not consistently safeguarded from accidental overdosing of medication or being given the wrong medication. n The manager involves parents and staff in the process of self-evaluation. She has recently implemented relevant plans to enhance the supervision and monitoring of staff. However, the new systems are not fully embedded into practice. As a result, the manager has not identified and addressed all weaknesses in staff's practice. n Staff's quality of teaching is good overall. However, staff occasionally miss opportunities in the baby and pre-school rooms to promote children's knowledge and understanding

of gender equality. n All staff's passion, dedication and commitment are evident. They are a close team that strives to promote children's emotional well-being and behaviour management. However, as a result of the significant breach in requirements, children's personal welfare is compromised.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed staff interacting with children as they played indoors and outside. She evaluated an adult-led activity and discussed with a senior member of staff the impact of staff's teaching strategies. n The inspector sampled documentation, including policies, training certificates, children's records and medication records. n The inspector spoke to and interacted with children at appropriate times. She considered the opinions of parents and grandparents she spoke to on the day of inspection. n The inspector checked evidence of the suitability of all individuals working on the premises and their qualifications. n The inspector talked to the manager and senior staff members about how they evaluate the service and all plans for continual improvement.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The manager has not implemented procedures to ensure that all staff accurately and fully record the details of all medication they administer to children. This means that on some occasions, vital information required to safely administer medication to children is missing. New systems to improve staff supervision and mentoring are not fully embedded into practice. As a result, staff's teaching has improved, but the overall quality of the setting has not yet been fully maximised. The manager ensures that any complaints the setting receives are investigated and concluded swiftly. All staff use an effective system to monitor the progress of individuals and groups of children. They use the information gained from monitoring to help identify and target specific gaps in children's learning and development. Parents are kept up to date with their child's progress and speak highly of the setting. Staff complete specific

training to help meet the needs of every child. They work closely with multi-agencies to help secure consistent and relevant early support when required.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Highly qualified staff provide opportunities for children to visit the neighbouring residential home where they sing nursery rhymes to the residents. Staff promote children's early literacy skills. They read stories to them, and provide opportunities for children to make marks indoors and outside. Children squeal with excitement as they enjoy painting coloured marks on different materials. Staff motivate children to count in sequence, which helps promote their mathematical understanding. However, staff in the baby and pre-school rooms do not always fully promote children's understanding of equality and diversity. For example, when talking about the jobs people do, staff do not actively challenge children's existing understanding of gender roles.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's welfare is not always promoted effectively. Staff do not consistently maintain accurate information that is important to ensure children's safety at all times. That said, the key-person system works well and children demonstrate close and affectionate bonds with the nurturing staff. Staff are positive role models and give clear guidance about the nursery's rules and expectations. Children behave well overall. They serve their own lunches and choose from a selection of healthy snack options. Children refine their physical skills as they clamber over equipment in the well-resourced outdoor areas. They snip fresh herbs with scissors and look through magnifying glasses as they investigate the natural world.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children are well prepared for the next stages in their learning. Children are encouraged to be active learners and curious about the world they live in. They develop an understanding that print has meaning and develop friendships. They enjoy group activities that help promote their social skills. Children demonstrate through their actions that they feel happy and settled in the setting. They are confident, busy and industrious learners who love to explore.
