p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children do not learn as well as they could because the curriculum is ineffective. They do not have opportunities to take part in activities that have clear learning intentions to help them learn new skills. As a result, children do not always have the skills they need to prepare them for school. Children show that they are mostly happy and they have secure attachments with adults.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Older children recall previous learning. For example, they talk about what they learn in road safety week and know that red traffic lights mean stop and green mean go. Babies explore their environment and smile when looking at their faces in the mirror. However, most staff are not adequately skilled in developing children's communication and language further and this impacts on children's progress.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Older children understand boundaries and tell their friends if they do not like something. However, staff knowledge of behaviour management is inconsistent. As a result, younger children are unclear of expectations and this leads to unwanted behaviour. Staff deployment is not always effective. Staff focus on individual tasks and, as a result, some children go unnoticed and their individual needs are not met.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

The health and well-being of children are not adequately supported. The provider is in breach of requirements relating to risk assessment and hygiene practice. As a result, this compromises children's safety.

need to do better?

n Leaders and staff fail to identify hazards and/or to take appropriate action to minimise risks. For example, there were inadequate risk assessments in place to assess the security of the setting, which is accessible to members of the public. This significantly compromises children's safety. n Staff do not implement the setting's health and hygiene procedures. For example, changing units and chairs used for mealtimes are unhygienic. Furthermore, staff do not always encourage older children to wash their hands after nappy changing. This places children's health and safety at risk. n Leaders carry out peer-on-peer observations and identify gaps in staff knowledge. However, this information is not used effectively to improve staff practice. Monitoring systems are not effective and, as a result, practice is weak. n Staff are not knowledgeable about children's development needs. For example, leaders are unable to identify that children are not supported to develop their

independence during care routines. This has an impact on children's ability to progress to the next stage of education. n Some children demonstrate a positive attitude to learning. For example, pre-

need to do better?

20 January 2022 school children listen intently when staff talk about people who help them at circle time. They talk about doctors and how a stethoscope is used. However, teaching is not consistent enough to have a positive impact on children's learning. n Leaders do not ensure that staff implement the setting's behaviour management policy consistently. For example, staff do not use appropriate explanations to resolve conflicts. They have inappropriate expectations of very young children and babies to be able to share. This results in unwanted behaviour. n There is a key-person system in place and most staff respond sensitively to children's individual needs. However, some staff are focused on other tasks and do not respond swiftly enough to children. As a result, children's individual needs are compromised. n Children who speak additional languages are not fully supported to develop their English. Leaders and staff recognise the benefits of children using their home

languages in the nursery. However, staff do not provide enough opportunities for children to use their home languages to communicate their needs. This impacts children's ability to be confident in English. n Staff are not always deployed to supervise children adequately. This leads to disorderly and untidy environments. As a result, younger children become disengaged from learning and this has a significant impact on children's safety. n Leaders demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the changes that must be notified to Ofsted, to safeguard children. As a result, the provider did not meet their duty to notify Ofsted of a significant event within the appropriate timescale. n Leaders talk about what they want children to learn but this is not shared effectively with staff. Staff receive supervisions from the manager. However, staff do not receive adequate support to ensure their knowledge develops further. This has a significant impact on children's learning.

need to do better?

n Parents talk about the changes made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and report that the setting has communicated these effectively. Overall, parents report that their children have made progress, but communication is limited.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Leaders and staff are unable to identify and manage risks adequately. This significantly affects children's safety and places them at risk of harm. In addition, they do not effectively implement the setting's hygiene practices, especially for younger children. However, staff do understand how to identify and report a concern relating to a child, and/or an allegation made against a member of staff. Staff access safeguarding training to develop their knowledge further, including their understanding of the 'Prevent' duty and female genital mutilation. Leaders have sufficient recruitment procedures in place to assess the suitability of staff.
