p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children's safety is not assured because the provider continues to demonstrate a poor capacity to meet all of the legal requirements of the early years foundation stage. Actions raised at a previous visit have not been addressed. Consequently, it cannot be confirmed that people looking after children are suitable to do so.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children still do not benefit from consistently good-quality teaching. This is because management has not recognised that some staff have not yet developed all of the skills they need to be fully effective teachers. That said, children are interested and eager to take part in the varied range of experiences and activities on offer to them. Pre-school children show pride as they achieve and progress in their independence and mathematical understanding. They enjoy the challenge of solving simple number problems as they set the correct number of chairs, plates and cutlery for the number of children present. Early writing skills are emerging as babies and toddlers have fun making marks in paint, rice and chalk.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children show that they feel safe and secure as they talk and interact with visitors. Children who are learning to speak English as an additional language have a good standard of English. However, staff do not always respond swiftly enough when children arrive at the nursery with starting points lower than expected in their speaking skills. This means children do not always get the targeted support they need as early as possible.

n Leadership and management are ineffective. Concerns about staff's suitability are not robustly investigated or managed effectively. A suitable record of investigations is not kept and made available to demonstrate how decisions about staff's ongoing suitability have been made. Therefore, it cannot be confirmed that decisions about the suitability of people looking after children are correct. n Staff have regular supervision and training sessions, and some staff are highly qualified. The manager has a clear understanding of the skills individual children need to develop for their future learning and school when the times comes. She knows what staff need to do to help children to progress. However, this has not resulted in the quality of teaching being raised to a consistently good level. n Although staff identify what children need to learn next, some staff do not plan activities well enough to provide children with clear information and necessary

explanations. Some staff are not effective enough in responding to children and adapting their teaching to help children extend their knowledge. This results in some children losing their initial good levels of interest and engagement in learning about things such as where animals live and different letters of the

1 October 2019 alphabet. Some staff do not have a strong enough knowledge of how to support children's emerging speaking skills when they are below the expected level. n There is a good balance of adult-led and child-initiated activities. Children have suitable opportunities to participate and contribute their ideas and preferences. For example, pre-school children use an array of different resources and tools to design and create pictures, models and pretend cakes in the role-play area. Staff plan activities and learning around children's interests. For example, children go outdoors to find numbers on the registration plates of cars. n Staff develop positive relationships with parents. Parents of babies state that they are very happy with the care their children receive. Parents of pre-school children feel their children are supported particularly well to develop an interest and enjoyment of books and to learn to speak English as an additional language.

n Children's physical health is promoted well. Children spend time outdoors being active. They run, climb and learn to use wheeled toys. Younger children show confidence and perseverance as they learn how to control their bodies and tools, for example using spoons to feed themselves. Children develop healthy appetites and eat a varied range of nutritious meals and snacks. They learn what they can do to stay safe, such as using knives, forks and scissors safely. n Staff expect children to be courteous, use good manners and look after one another. Children behave well and develop key skills to help them to share and take turns.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The provider continues to fail to ensure that all of the legal requirements of the early years foundation stage are met. This means that children's safety cannot be assured. That said, the manager follows correct child protection referral procedures in the event of allegations of abuse being made against staff. Staff have a sound understanding of different types of abuse. They are aware of the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Risk assessment and fire safety procedures are robust and help to ensure the environment is kept safe for children.
