p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children are not kept safe in the nursery. Staff do not take sufficient steps to promote their welfare. Play areas and activities are not maintained well by staff. Discarded toys litter the environment. Following messy activities not all areas are appropriately cleaned. Children are at risk of tripping and falling. Staff's safeguarding knowledge is poor.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

The provider does not implement a curriculum that is focused on helping children to work towards their next steps in learning. Children's play is hindered due to a poorly organised and chaotic environment. Daily routines are not planned well and disrupt children's learning. At times, there are not enough staff to reassure less confident children. Children's continued learning is not supported, due to the lack of information sharing between staff and parents. Older children become bored by some of the mundane and poorly delivered activities. These activities are not matched to their level of development. Children discard resources on the floor as they rush to join a painting activity. They sit crowded around a small table. Staff give them tiny bits of paper and expect them to share a tray of paint. This limits children's enjoyment and fails to offer them enough challenge. Younger children sit on the carpet for a story. Staff do not hold the book, so that all children can see

the pictures. This results in children losing interest and wandering away. Children do not learn that some of their behaviours are unacceptable. This has a negative impact on the well-being of children and the progress they make. Children are developing some independence as they visit the bathroom. They learn to wash their hands before meals and after using the toilet.

n Leadership and management of the setting are poor. The provider has yet to identify and address weaknesses in her own management, and staff practice. As a result, there are breaches of legal requirements. Furthermore, the quality of education and care that children receive are not adequate. n The provider does not ensure that all staff have a good understanding of the setting's safeguarding procedures. Some staff do not know how to identify safeguarding issues. They lack knowledge of relevant agencies to notify of safeguarding concerns. This puts children at potential risk of harm. n The provider does not do enough to ensure that children's safety is given the utmost priority. For example, she has failed to identify and address the risks associated with babies left to wander the room with bottles of milk in their mouths. Additionally, she does not make sure that staff directly supervise older children.

n Staff do not have a high enough expectation of children's behaviour. They do not help children learn to manage their feelings and behaviour. Some children

17 January 2022 snatch toys and push other children out of the way. They squeal and run off when staff want them to sit down. This leads to a disorderly environment and some children become upset. n Children's play and learning is interrupted, specifically before mealtimes. This is because children are moved into one room, so childcare staff can go and prepare children's meals. Children are not given clear direction and do not understand the expectations. This leaves older children standing around waiting for long periods of time. Babies sit strapped into high chairs with nothing to do. n Although the planned curriculum and activities do not meet the needs of older children, they are confident to select resources and make choices regarding their own play. They make up their own imaginative games and activities among themselves. n Although the provider monitors what staff are doing, she does not support them

to understand and deliver an effective curriculum. Staff do not demonstrate that they understand how children learn. Their observations and assessments of children's learning are poor. Children do not benefit from teaching that is carefully targeted to reflect their individual learning needs. Activities lack challenge and fail to engage children. Consequently, children are not supported to move forward in their development. n Parents comment they are, generally, happy with the care and support their children receive. However, not enough information is shared regarding children's learning and development. Parents do not receive information to keep them well informed regarding their own child's development, or how they can further support them at home.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff's safeguarding knowledge is poor. Some staff do not fully understand their own roles and responsibilities to safeguard children. They do not know what to do if they need to escalate a safeguarding concern outside of the nursery. Although the provider ensures that staff receive relevant child protection training, she does not check that all staff's safeguarding knowledge is secure. Staff are not alert to children arriving with unexplained bruising and marks. Risk assessments are not implemented effectively. Staff do not adequately supervise children. Consequently, they fail to keep children safe.
