p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n Staff do not ensure children's individual next steps in learning are continually promoted through a good balance of child-initiated play and adult-led activities. There is scope to enhance the planning further. n Managers do not make the best use of staff's professional development. They do not focus sharply on extending teaching throughout the nursery to help promote consistently good-quality learning experiences for all children. n Managers do not monitor the planning, quality of teaching and children's progress as carefully as possible. Children are not always highly challenged and therefore, they do not reach their full potential.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff are warm and friendly. They get to know children and their families well. They are sensitive to children's care needs. Overall, children are content attending. n The premises are safe. The nursery is risk assessed indoors and outside. Staff are fully aware of their responsibility to identify hazards and minimise these. n The nursery is welcoming. Staff find out about children's backgrounds and they celebrate different events. For example, recently the nursery held an Eid party. This helps children learn about the community and fosters mutual respect. n Staff share information with parents about children's care needs and development. This helps to foster some continuity between the setting and home.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Since the last inspection, there have been further changes to the management and staff team. Managers do not yet make strong use of staff's professional development to focus on elevating the quality of teaching to a higher level with the new team. Nevertheless, managers supervise staff routinely. Staff benefit from some training opportunities, such as safeguarding, health and safety and first aid. This has a positive impact on the care provided. Safeguarding is effective. The nursery is now well staffed, which means adult- to-child ratios are maintained. Staff and children are deployed effectively. Children only have access to age-appropriate resources and equipment, and they are supervised at all times. Managers ensure that staff implement effectively a range of records that support the efficient running of the nursery. Managers and staff have a sound understanding of child protection issues and know what to do in the event of different types of concerns.

p.3

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

Self-evaluation is in place and managers aspire to further improve.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Teaching is variable. Staff observe children and make accurate assessments of their development. However, they do not consistently provide a balance of highly challenging child-led and adult-initiated activities that build on children's individual next steps in learning. Nevertheless, the curriculum is generally varied and children enjoy attending. Babies, toddlers and pre-school children enjoy water and sand play. Babies like feeling the texture and pouring the material between containers. Toddlers and pre-school children like to wash baby dolls or animals in the water and make models using moulds in the sand. This builds on their understanding of the world and imaginative skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Children are not consistently highly motivated to learn and, therefore, they struggle to become fully immersed in learning. On the other hand, staff promote healthy eating. They provide children with nutritious snacks and meals. They talk to the children about the benefits of eating well. Staff promote good hygiene routines. Children wash their hands throughout the day. Staff foster exercise. Babies and toddlers enjoy ball games and negotiating low-level climbing equipment. Pre-school children enjoy playing chasing games and the challenge of high-level climbing apparatus. Staff implement positive behaviour management strategies in the nursery, including a behaviour teddy and a reward chart in the pre-school. Children have a clear understanding of the expectations. They respond to staff, interact nicely with others and behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Due to weaknesses in the quality of teaching and the planning, children do not progress as well as possible. Nevertheless, overall, children gain the basic skills they need for their future learning and the eventual move on to school. Children who speak English as an additional language benefit from appropriate support. Children develop confidence and independence, particularly in managing their own care needs. Children build language skills. They learn to communicate their interests and needs in a variety of ways. Pre- school children develop mathematical skills. For example, they learn to identify simple shapes, sort and match objects by colour and count beyond 10.
