p.3

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The weak recruitment procedures mean that the provider does not have a clear oversight of the suitability of employees. Furthermore, those involved in recruitment lack knowledge and understanding of disqualification. The inspection was conducted following a notification from the provider regarding a safeguarding matter. Although the provider notified Ofsted of this matter, as required, other procedures were not followed. There was a failure to liaise with outside agencies in a timely manner. Furthermore, the inspector found that there was another occasion where the provider failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event. The provider does not ensure that all staff receive effective supervision to improve their knowledge and develop their existing skills to meet children's individual needs. The lack of management oversight of the educational programmes has resulted in inconsistent quality of teaching,

specifically the planning for older children's progress.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is inadequate

The quality of teaching within the nursery is extremely variable. Staff working with the babies clearly understand how to promote the learning and development of younger children. However, this quality is not consistent for the older children. Consequently, babies make progress in their learning, but this is not always sustained as children move to the older age groups. There are times when the room for older children becomes very noisy as children scream and shout. Staff do not manage this well. Therefore, they do not teach children that their behaviour affects others. The noise levels make it difficult for people to hear each other or for other children to concentrate. Staff working with older children do not ensure that they plan suitably challenging learning experiences.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The support for children's physical development is inconsistent across the age groups. Staff working with babies are very aware of their needs. They arrange the environment so that babies can safely develop their physical skills. However, staff working with older children miss opportunities to teach them about their safety. For example, they fail to intervene when children climb on chairs or sit on equipment which is unstable and unsafe. Furthermore, staff do not always ensure that they can see or hear children leave the room. These oversights compromise children's safety and well-being.

p.4

Outcomes for children are inadequate

Babies are very settled and secure with the adults who care for them. They show this as they confidently explore the environment and return to their key person for a cuddle when they need it. Older children are affected by the lack of behaviour management and some become disengaged and bored at times. Older children become unsettled and disengaged at times. The weaknesses in the quality of teaching limit older children's preparation for future learning and their readiness for starting school.
