p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children are at risk from hazards in the environment such as electrical equipment being stored in children's bathrooms. Children are at risk as staff are not always diligent. Babies are unsupervised as they play with dried cereal, which is a choking risk, and children in the pre-school room play with plastic knives from the role play area around their faces. These risks go unnoticed by staff. Children's privacy is not protected as photographs of them are used on social media without parental permission.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

The setting has recently appointed a number of new staff. However, managers do not ensure that information about every new member of staff is recorded, such as vetting processes and identity checks. This means that children are being cared for by some staff who have not had the appropriate checks to demonstrate that they are safe and suitable to do so.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children's safety is compromised. Managers do not ensure that new staff have meaningful inductions when they start employment at the setting. This means that staff do not understand the setting's policies and procedures. In addition, managers do not ensure that information about children is recorded appropriately, for example personal information about every child, and their family details. This means that staff do not have all the information they need to protect children.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children are at the risk of falling behind as staff do not have high expectations for them. Staff do not have a secure understanding of what they want children to learn. This means that activities lack focus and are not tailored to meet the needs of children. Processes of assessment are weak. Therefore, staff cannot successfully identify areas in which children need more support.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Overall, children are settled in the nursery. Babies receive a cuddle from staff if they are upset, and children in the toddler room are learning to share. Children in the pre-school room are developing an understanding of the life cycle of a frog, as they observe tadpoles and talk about the changes they can see. Children listen to staff and their behaviour is generally good. They are confident communicators and eagerly show the inspector the resources they are playing with.

n Children's safety is compromised. Staff do not successfully identify risks for children in the environment. For example, multiple electrical resources are stored in the toilet cubicle of a children's bathroom with trailing wires. Staff are not alert to possible dangers during activities. For example, staff do not supervise babies closely enough as they place dry breakfast cereal into their

30 March 2022 mouth, which presents a choking hazard. They do not notice when children sitting next to them play with plastic knives around their mouth and face. These hazards present a significant risk for children. n Children's learning and development is significantly compromised. Staff do not undertake timely assessments of children as they start and have not identified where they may need support with their learning. Staff do not have a grasp of the curriculum. As a result, age-appropriate and meaningful activities are not in place for children. For example, staff question toddlers about shapes using flash cards. This does not interest young children and they lose concentration quickly. On the day of inspection, there were no resources in the outdoor area. This means that children are not engaged in meaningful activities to support their outdoor learning. The quality of education is weak. n There have recently been new members of staff recruited to the staff team.

p.2

need to do better?

Managers cannot demonstrate that comprehensive interviews have been held, that they have checked the suitability of all staff and that staff identity checks have been completed. This does not support the principles of safer recruitment and places children at potential risk. n Managers have not ensured that new staff have received a meaningful induction. This means that staff do not fully understand their roles and responsibilities or nursery procedures. For example, new staff are unaware of the emergency evacuation process should children need to evacuate the building. This places children at risk of harm in an emergency. n The nursery has registration documents in place which include information that providers must gather for children. However, not every child has a registration document in place. This means that staff are not aware of all the information about every child they may need in the event of an emergency. In addition, staff

place photographs of children on social media without parents' permission. This means that children's privacy is not protected. n An experienced, newly appointed manager is in place. She has a realistic assessment of the quality of the provision and has already identified areas in which she will focus upon moving forwards. She is committed to raising standards for children.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The safeguarding knowledge of the staff team is not effective. Staff are unaware of the possible signs of female genital mutilation and radicalisation. This means staff are unaware of the possible indicators that a child may be at risk of harm. That said, they know who to report to if they have concerns about a child's safety or a child protection issue. Staff do not successfully identify risks in the environment and do not notice potential risks as children play. They do not demonstrate an effective understanding of safeguarding issues, such as the need to protect children's privacy, and are unsure of how to keep children safe during an emergency evacuation. Therefore, children's safety is compromised. Some safeguarding measures are in place. For example, staff ensure that personal mobile
