p.1

This is a provision that requires improvement

n Staff working with pre-school children do not recognise when children would benefit from their interaction and support. They do not provide activities that sufficiently challenge and stimulate children to keep motivated and interested. Pre-school children do not make as much progress as they are capable of. n The manager does not review staff's practice or their teaching skills rigorously enough. She does not implement a fully effective programme of professional development. Not enough support is currently given to help improve staff's teaching skills, particularly those working with the pre-school children. n At times, parts of the daily routine interrupt children's play and exploration. Children are not able to complete activities to their satisfaction.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff are caring and develop positive and respectful relationships with children. They create a welcoming environment for children, who are happy and settled. n Staff provide babies and toddlers with good opportunities for learning. They benefit from playing with a wide range of stimulating toys and resources. n Staff form effective partnerships with parents and other professionals to help continuity of children's learning and care. For instance, staff communicate with parents regularly and share information about their children's development.

documentation linked to monitoring children's progress and staff performance.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The manager does not recognise inconsistencies in staff's skills and teaching practice. Although staff attend some training, this has not been successful in raising the quality of teaching overall. Safeguarding is effective. The manager follows robust recruitment procedures to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. All staff have clear knowledge of how to protect children from harm and understand the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Staff supervise children closely to ensure they are safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Although most staff hold childcare qualifications, they do not all support children's learning effectively. This is illustrated when pre-school children take part in creative activities. Staff do not always encourage children to become deeply engaged in what they are doing. They watch the children, but do not make suggestions to help increase their enjoyment and achievement. In contrast, staff teach the young children effectively. They are enthusiastic and interact in a positive manner. Staff support younger children's language skills well. This is evident when toddlers enjoy singing and repeat phases to songs. Babies babble and repeat words staff say to increase their speaking skills. Staff observe the children and check what they can do. This enables staff to identify children's next steps in learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare require improvement

Inconsistencies in the quality of teaching mean that some children are not motivated, supported or inspired to learn as much as they can. At times, staff interrupt children's learning, for example for snack or group times. Although older children are not fully supported to develop their independence, they are confident and know routines well. Staff follow children's interests and are attentive to their needs. They promote healthy lifestyles. For example, children follow appropriate hygiene routines, enjoy healthy meals and have opportunities to be active. Staff have good relationships with the children and act as good role models on how to behave. Children have a good understanding of self- care and behave well.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Outcomes for children in the pre-school room are not good enough. Staff do not help them reach their full potential. However, pre-school children are gaining some skills to support their future learning. They concentrate and are developing positive attitudes to their learning. Young children make good progress. They explore and investigate the opportunities that are on offer. Their small-muscular skills are developing well. For example, babies squeeze and roll out play dough to help strengthen their hands and wrists. This will help them later when developing their writing skills.
