This provision is inadequate
n Not all staff have a secure understanding of how to recognise if someone is at risk of exposure to extreme views or radicalisation. Some staff do not have sufficient regard to their responsibilities under the 'Prevent' duty guidance. n The management team do not ensure that adult-to-child ratios are consistently maintained at the start of the day. This puts children's safety at risk. n Some staff do not assess children's progress in a timely manner, including the required progress check for children aged between two and three years. Therefore, they cannot tailor their planning and teaching to children's individual needs. n Staff do not gather enough information from parents about children's prior learning to inform their initial assessments. Parents do not always know what their children are learning next to support continuity of learning at home. n Self-evaluation is not robust enough to identify and address significant weaknesses in
p.1
It has the following strengths
n Staff are effective role models for children. They provide clear and consistent boundaries to help children to develop an understanding of right and wrong. As a result, children's behaviour is suitable. n Children are happy and settled. They play alongside caring staff who provide them with smiles and reassurance. n The environment is secure, spacious and well resourced. Children freely choose what they want to do throughout the day.

p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate
Safeguarding is not effective. Staff have a suitable understanding of the appropriate procedures they must follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. However, not all staff have a clear understanding of how to recognise and prevent children's exposure to radicalisation or extremist views. In addition, for a short period of time at the start of the day, there were insufficient numbers of staff on site to meet ratios. This does not fully assure children's safety and security. However, suitable recruitment procedures ensure that children are always cared for by suitable adults. Parents talk positively about the care their children receive in a 'homely nursery'. However, staff do not gather sufficient information from parents about children's development from the outset of care. Furthermore, they do not share regular and precise information with parents about what their child is learning next, so they can support this learning at home. The systems for

self-evaluation are not fully developed to clearly identify breaches in requirements and demonstrate how further improvements will be achieved.
p.4
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement
The quality of teaching is variable. There are inconsistencies in staff's assessments of children. For example, not all staff carry out regular and precise observations of their key children, which includes the required progress check for children aged between two and three years. This means that early identification of any additional support required may not be identified at the earliest opportunity. Despite this, children are confident communicators and are able to express their needs well when communicating with their peers and adults. Staff sit on the floor with babies, who enjoy participating in action songs with the puppets. Toddlers show an interest in counting and mark making to support early writing skills. All children benefit from the nursery's positive approach to promoting inclusion and diversity. Children begin to learn about people whose culture or life experience is different from their own.
p.4
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate
The weakness in safeguarding has a negative impact on children's well-being. However, staff are caring and support children to form effective relationships at nursery. This helps to boost children's self-esteem and support their emotional well-being. Children's understanding of a healthy lifestyle is well supported. They have regular access to fresh air and exercise and benefit from nutritious home-cooked meals. Staff help children to learn to keep themselves safe. For example, children understand why they must use sun screen when playing outside in warm weather. Children are given opportunities to develop their independence skills as they serve themselves at mealtimes. Outdoors, children's physical development is supported. For example, they balance on beams and use wheeled cars to race and manoeuvre with skill.
p.4
Outcomes for children require improvement
Inconsistencies in staff's assessment of children have an impact on their ability to identify additional support children may require and to plan their next steps in learning. Nevertheless, children are steadily developing the basic skills needed to support them to be ready for school. Older children hear and use mathematical language as they play. They pay attention, share and take turns. Toddlers eagerly explore sensory activities, such as playing with dough and water.
