p.1

This provision is inadequate

n Recruitment procedures are not robust and information collected about Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks is incomplete. n The nominated individual has failed to inform Ofsted when there have been changes to people associated with the playgroup. This means that Ofsted has not been able to complete suitability checks. n Staff performance is not monitored effectively and fails to identify how staff can improve the quality of their teaching. n Assessment of children's progress and development is not always accurate. Consequently, not all staff have high enough expectations of what children can achieve. n Staff do not always listen carefully and respond to children's interests. As a result, children do not have opportunities to enhance their learning and develop their interests outdoors. n Staff do not fully promote hygienic practices, particularly those relating to handwashing.

p.1

It has the following strengths

n Staff continue to build strong relationships with children and their parents. Parents are satisfied that staff pay due care and attention to children's medical and individual needs. n Staff have begun steps to support children's emotional well-being as they get ready for the next stage in their education and the move on to school.

What the setting needs to do to improve further

n The inspector observed the quality of teaching indoors. n The inspector spoke to children and staff at appropriate times during the inspection. n The inspector completed a joint observation with the manager. n The inspector held a meeting with the manager and the nominated individual. She looked at relevant documents, such as policies and procedures, children's development files and evidence of suitability of staff working in the playgroup. n The inspector spoke with parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The nominated individual has failed in her responsibility to address all actions set at the last inspection. For example, Ofsted has not been provided with information about changes to committee members. Consequently the suitability of new members has not been verified. Recruitment is not robust. For example, not all details on the DBS checks are recorded, such as details about who obtained the check. This does not ensure that children are kept safe. Staff practice is not monitored with enough rigour to identify weaknesses in their teaching and interactions with children. This does not help children to make progress and the quality of teaching is not improving quickly enough. Staff have completed training to improve their knowledge and understanding of potential risks to children's welfare, such as from extreme behaviours. Staff share new information gained through training, during regular

staff meetings. Staff know and understand the local safeguarding procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child's welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is not consistently good. Staff do not always listen carefully to children's requests. This includes when children ask, on many occasions, to play outdoors. For example, children ask to take the kites they have just made into the outdoor area. Other children want to look for caterpillars after taking part in adult-led activities which have sparked their imagination and curiosity. This means that their learning and enthusiasm are not sufficiently challenged or extended. Staff observe and record children's achievements. However, they do not always use this information effectively as part of their ongoing assessment of what children know and can do. This is sometimes because staff do not have a good enough understanding of developmental milestones. As a result, assessment of children's current stage of development is not always accurate. This means that not all staff have high enough

expectations of what children can achieve. Children who speak English as an additional language are supported well by staff who gain information from parents, such as key words and numbers in their home language. Regular meetings with parents provide opportunities for staff to ask questions and find out more about children's individual needs. Children are developing good counting skills. They talk about and compare 'big' numbers, saying that '1000 is bigger than 100'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

Children's safety is not fully promoted because of serious weaknesses in leadership and management. In addition, staff do not support children to develop a good awareness of hygienic practices and allow them to share handwashing water that has been used for a range of purposes. This includes children washing their hands after using the toilet, staff washing their hands after changing nappies and children washing their hands before snack time. This does not promote children's physical well-being. Children have developed good relationships with staff. Parents know who their child's key person is and are confident in the procedures followed to ensure children's allergies are managed safely. Children behave well. They share and take turns and share resources, such as shapes during creative activities. Children enjoy healthy snacks and staff sit with them at lunchtime, which helps to develop their social skills

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Children are not supported to make to best possible progress towards expected goals for their age. This is because not all staff have a good understanding of what they can already achieve in areas, such as communication and language. However, children are confident and show good levels of self-control. They cooperate with others and wait for their turn. They listen attentively to adults as they read stories, particularly stories which relate to their interests and activities they are involved in. Children are developing their writing skills. They use scissors and hold pens with a firm grip, forming some letters correctly. They show that they understand growth and change, and describe the life cycle of a butterfly using the correct language, such as 'cocoon'.
