p.1

This provision is inadequate

n The provider has not made enough progress since the last inspection. There are continued breaches to requirements of registration that have an impact on the welfare of children. The provider demonstrates a willingness to improve, however there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate a capacity to initiate sustained improvement. n The induction of staff and ongoing opportunities for their supervision are ineffective. Staff do not have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities in managing children's health and welfare needs. Staff are not clear of how to manage children's allergies and medical requirements, and they do not consider babies' health and hygiene when planning activities. n Staff do not consistently promote positive behaviour management strategies; this results in some children not fully understanding why their behaviour is not acceptable. In addition, staff place too much focus on managing routines; this impacts on children's

ability to follow their interests. This does not support good-quality teaching. n Some staff do not consistently model opportunities for children to fully develop their listening and speaking skills. n Parents do not have consistent opportunities to share their children's developing interests. This does not support effective planning for their children's learning.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Children, overall, are confident and enjoy a range of activities and experiences both inside and out in the garden. n Most children have established secure relationships with staff. The children arrive happy and settle quickly into their play.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Leaders and managers do not implement effective measures to ensure they meet the requirements of the early years foundation stage. They have failed to drive the improvement required to address all weaknesses raised at the previous inspection. This means that children continue to attend a setting that does not consistently meet their welfare and learning needs. Therefore, safeguarding in this setting is not effective. Managers do not ensure all staff working directly with children have appropriate induction training to ensure they are fully aware of children's health needs. For example, some staff are unaware they are caring for children with life-threatening allergies and staff are not informed of the medication that children require in an emergency situation. In addition, staff who are aware of allergies are not clear where children's medication is located. This lack of due diligence compromises children's safety. Managers have

p.4

improved their safer recruitment procedures and they have worked hard to develop staff's knowledge and understanding of child protection matters. They have introduced supervision and professional development opportunities for staff. However, the impact of this on the quality of the provision is not yet secure enough to ensure that children's welfare is prioritised.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Staff are developing a secure knowledge and understanding of the learning and development requirements. They are using their knowledge of what they know about the children to help plan for their learning. This results in children enjoying the activities available to them. Children are confident to access their environment, which is well organised to support their independence. They are developing physical skills as they learn how to balance and ride wheeled resources. However, staff interrupt children's learning and do not always allow them to follow their choice of play. This is because staff are too focused on following prescribed routines for snack times and personal care. When older children are engaged, they enjoy stories and looking at books. They are developing basic speaking and listening skills. This is an improvement since the last inspection. However, some staff continue to not provide children meaningful

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

opportunities to speak. This is because they constantly ask direct questions and not give children time to listen, reflect and respond. Staff work in partnership with parents and professionals to help support the compulsory assessment of all children. For example, they complete a progress check for all children when they are aged between two and three. This helps to identify any learning delay and means that professionals are able to facilitate early support for children and their parents. However, there is capacity to engage parents even further to ensure they have consistent opportunities to share their children's developing interests.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management mean that children's welfare is not assured. Children are not consistently supported to understand positive behaviours. This is because there are occasions where staff do not challenge poor behaviour. For example, children who run away after hurting another child can continue without reprimand. This does not support children's empathy for others. Staff in the baby room do not effectively consider the risks to babies' health when they plan activities. For example, although babies enjoy exploring real food which is placed in a large tray, staff do not effectively manage this as they allow children to eat large amounts of the wheat cereal and cornflakes. The children also eat food that has spilled onto the floor. This activity is left out all morning and, therefore, children are continually handling the food and intermittently eating it, which does not support their well-being.

p.4

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children make steady progress from their starting points. Older children demonstrate good mathematical skills as they are able to count and recognise familiar numbers. Children are developing skills to support their move to school. For example, they are able to concentrate in their play as they spend extensive periods of time building tracks for their trains. They are learning to manage their self-care as they eat independently and help to take care of their environment. However, weaknesses in the quality of teaching do not help to ensure that all children make the best possible progress.
