p.1

The provision requires improvement

Staff at the creche are welcoming and friendly. They form secure, positive relationships with all children in their care. Children arrive happy and settle well. They quickly get involved in the range of activities on offer. Most children play happily without adult support. However, some children spend too long wandering, unsure of what to do next, which impacts on their behaviour towards other children. Children are not always supported in taking care of toys and books, which means they are easily damaged.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

Staff observe children regularly and make assessments about their development. Some staff do not consistently use what they know about children to challenge them enough through play. The next steps planned for each child are not always focused enough for the children to succeed quickly. Effective planning for children's learning is weakened as the manager does not monitor staff performance closely enough.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

Children have frequent daily opportunities to play outdoors and enjoy fresh air and exercise. They play ball games and enjoy running games with staff. However, there are fewer opportunities for them to experience a wider range of play activities as there are too few resources outside. Children enjoy singing songs and rhymes, which supports their communication and language development. Children take part in daily action songs at circle time, to strengthen their coordination skills. Staff are very expressive and role model the actions and movements.

n Staff encourage children to be active learners. Some staff are particularly effective at engaging older children in story time. However, not all staff are expressive with their story sharing skills. This results in some children not being interested in the story and they do not take part. Staff's communication and role modelling of language with children is not yet as good as it could be. Children do not always get enough time to answer a question before another is asked. Children are making progress, but this could be stronger with more consistent high-quality interactions. n Sometimes, staff do not respond quickly enough to children's changing behaviours. Children are not always supported effectively in understanding how their behaviour impacts on others. As a result, some children do not know how to manage their feelings. They are not yet able to distinguish between right and wrong. An example is when children do not yet understand turn taking and

sharing; they snatch toys, which causes upset to other children. n Parents hold the creche and the staff in high regard. They report that their children are always happy to attend. Parents comment that they feel secure as

13 March 2020 the creche is on the school site where they work. They talk about the 'affectionate staff' and say that their children are making progress in their development, for example in their mark-making skills. n Staff have regular opportunities to speak to the manager. Professional discussions and supervision help to support staff's well-being. However, they are not used well enough to monitor staff's practice. As a result, assessments are not always effective across the creche. Some staff do not identify children's next steps with enough accuracy, which results in children not reaching their learning goals as quickly as they could. n The indoor environment is well organised. Children can make choices about what they would like to play with; they mostly self-select resources to use. However, more opportunities could be given to support child-led interests. For example, when children choose resources in the home corner, staff do not

extend the learning for the children as it is not a planned activity. n Staff support children to understand how to be healthy. Children benefit from healthy snacks and discussions about what food helps them to grow strong. Staff support children to brush their teeth with an enjoyable song. This contributes to children learning the correct brushing technique. n Staff support children to understand the community in which they live. They provide plentiful opportunities for children to use their home languages. Children are supported to make special pictures using a variety of resources each Friday. They then share these at their special weekly family dinner. Staff do not yet raise enough awareness of other cultures, religions and the wider community.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The manager and staff have a secure understanding of their responsibility to keep children safe from harm. The creche is on a secure school site with robust procedures in place for all visitors. Staff know what to do if they are concerned about a child in their care. Staff undertake safeguarding training, and child protection is discussed in supervisions. All staff have had first-aid training and have a robust system in place to deal with any accidents. The vetting, recruitment and induction of staff are given high priority to further protect children.
