p.1

The provision requires improvement

Children enjoy a range of interesting activities. They enjoy being physically active and learning about the world around them. Children delight in running back and forth outside, holding a toy windmill and watching the wind make it spin. They use brushes and rollers to paint the walls. Children water the daffodils and watch closely as the water passes through the soil and drips out of the bottom. They find a container and catch it.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

Children enjoy warm and responsive relationships with staff which are positive and respectful. They listen and respond to adults' instructions. Children sit and concentrate for regular whole-group meetings. During this time, staff introduce new words linked to activities, songs and stories. This helps to support children's communication and language skills. Children confidently sing a favourite rhyme on their own, while their friends listen. They show great pride in this achievement, clapping and smiling when they have finished. However, children are not supported enough to share their own thoughts and ideas. Staff ask children questions in quick succession, without allowing time for them to answer. This means that back-and- forth conversation is limited, and children's early speech development is not supported as well as it could be.

p.2

The provision requires improvement

The leadership and management of the setting is not yet good. Although progress has been made towards meeting the previously raised actions, these have not all been met. The provider has not yet given the manager the training, support and ongoing supervision that they need to fulfil their role effectively. Despite this, the manager has improved the arrangements for monitoring the quality of staff's practice.

n The manager has a clear vision for what children need to learn and be able to do. Some aspects of the curriculum are promoted well, and staff make sure that children have the knowledge and skills they need, before moving on to new learning. For example, younger children learn to make marks with paints, and older children learn to recognise and write some letters in their name. Staff learn about the different languages children speak at home and use key words to support children at the setting. However, the curriculum for promoting children's spoken language skills is not consistently implemented. n The mathematics curriculum is a strength. Staff consistently count with children and introduce mathematical language. They count together as they scoop sand into bun cases. When children make mistakes, staff patiently help them to count objects carefully, touching each one in turn. Staff teach them about different

shapes. They count the sides and corners of each shape together.

6 January 2022 n The special educational needs coordinator identifies children who are showing signs of delayed development. However, they would benefit from further training and development opportunities, to ensure targeted support is put in place for children without delay. n The indoor environment is well resourced and prepared to support children's learning and play. However, outside resources are not ready for children to use. This means that staff are not available to support and extend children's play and learning because they are setting out equipment. This impacts on what children could be learning during their time outdoors. n Mealtimes are social occasions. Staff talk to children about the foods they eat, and help them to make healthy choices. Children enjoy developing their independence skills. Staff teach them how to wash their hands carefully. Children use spray bottles and cloths to clean the table before and after eating.

They scrape their own plates when they are finished. n Staff develop good relationships with parents and carers, who report that their children are happy at the setting. Staff make time to talk to parents when they bring and collect their children. They have regular telephone discussions with parents to tell them about their child's development. They talk about how parents can share and support this at home. n There remains no suitably qualified deputy to take charge in the manager's absence. The provider is aware of the requirement to have a deputy and recruitment plans are in place. However, the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has made this appointment more difficult. Due to the skills of the small staff team, having no deputy manager in place is at present having a limited impact upon the effective running of the setting.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The manager and staff have improved their safeguarding knowledge and understanding. They show a good awareness of the possible signs and symptoms that a child might be being abused. They are confident in the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child or in the event of an allegation against a colleague. They understand the role of the local authority designated officer. Previous actions to improve child protection knowledge and procedures have all been met.
