p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children's safety and welfare are compromised. The environment created by staff exposes children to hazards. For example, staff fail to remove screws left from broken toys in the outdoor environment. Children fall off bikes and place their hands down on the concrete floor, narrowly missing these hazards. They can access sharp objects and cleaning products as staff do not always close the safety gate to the kitchen, despite knowing this poses a risk to children. Children's well- being is not assured. Staff fail to identify some signs and symptoms a child may be at risk of harm and do not know where to report concerns they have. However, staff greet children with a smile and have a welcoming nature. Children develop relationships with staff and separate from parents and carers well.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children are not supported to communicate and share resources with each other. They do not know what behaviour is expected of them. When children show unwanted behaviours, such as snatching resources from younger children and shouting at others, staff do not intervene or support them to manage their feelings. This results in children becoming distressed. Children do not learn daily routines. They wait for long periods of time unoccupied before mealtimes, lining up and sitting back down repeatedly as staff are not clear on what they want children to do. Young children get upset as they are hungry and are unsure what is happening. Some children begin to eat their lunch while others are still playing or washing their hands in a single bowl of water.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children, including those who need additional support, experience a poor quality of learning as staff lack the necessary skills and knowledge to help them make progress. Staff do not know what children need to learn next and do not provide planned activities or experiences accordingly. Children wander the environment unoccupied or play only on scooters and bikes which do not provide enough physical challenge. Babies spend their time carried round outside by staff, having very little opportunity to play.

n Leaders do not make sure staff working with children are adequately qualified and experienced. They do not identify areas of practice that staff need to improve and fail to tackle poor teaching. Although leaders provide some training for staff, they do not make sure this training has been effective at improving the quality of learning for children. n Staff lack understanding about how children learn. They do not know what is expected of children at different ages or gather information about what children know and can do. Although at times leaders refer children to other professionals, staff do not put help in place for children who need additional support. Staff do

5 July 2022 not use information about what children are interested in to support their learning. n Activities and experiences do not meet children's learning needs. Any learning that takes place is incidental. Some staff go inside after snack time to set up activities, leaving children of all ages outside with minimal staff. Therefore, staff cannot adequately supervise and support children. They lay out already completed puzzles which are too easy for older children and too difficult for younger children. Staff do not know what they want children to achieve from this and therefore, once children have broken up the puzzles, they wander the environment aimlessly. n Overall, staff interactions with children are weak. Staff do not recognise what attention and support children need and leave children, who need support, to complete other tasks. Some children spend long periods of time without staff talking to them at all. When staff start to interact with children in the home

corner, this does not support them to speak. They name items pre-school children already know such as 'cereal' and ask children a few limited questions. This means children become disengaged and leave the home corner after a few minutes. However, at times, younger children enjoy singing songs with staff, smiling as they join in with sounds and actions to 'row, row, row your boat'. n Staff do not support children to know what behaviour is acceptable. They read children a story but do not make sure children are sitting politely or listening. They fail to support children who get distracted and when children start kicking a tray full of pasta they do not intervene. Staff do not notice when children stand on other children's hands or push them. When these children are subsequently upset, staff do not support them in explaining how they are feeling or give them the reassurance they need. n Staff do not teach children about healthy lifestyles. After playing in water

outside, they leave children in wet clothing for long periods of time. Although staff tell some children it is really cold outside, they do not support them to put a coat on. Therefore, some children appear physically cold. Staff do not actively support children with toileting. They forget to remind children who are playing to visit the toilet, and therefore children have accidents. However, staff do show children how to wash their own hands. n On the whole, parents are happy with the service the setting provides. They enjoy looking at photos of what children have been playing with in the setting.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Leaders do not ensure all staff have a secure understanding of their roles and responsibilities to safeguard children. Staff know some signs and symptoms of possible child abuse. However, they cannot accurately identify when a child may be at risk of radicalisation, grooming or female genital mutilation. Staff know to report any concerns to the manager, as the designated safeguarding lead, but cannot accurately explain what other professionals to report concerns to if they believe children are at risk of harm. Leaders do not ensure risk assessments are effective
