p.1

The provision is inadequate

The care and early educational opportunities that children receive are poor. The staff team is not qualified well enough to ensure that all children receive good- quality teaching. Children are exposed to hazards that could compromise their health and safety. Not all children have the chance to participate in outdoor play and learning. This does not promote healthy lifestyles because children lack opportunities for fresh air and exercise. Children's behaviour is not supported in a way that encourages positive personal, social and emotional development. Child protection is compromised because the manager does not ensure the safeguarding policy and procedure is followed.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Older children participate in some meaningful learning. They explore apples, pears and pineapple rings. Children learn about the concept of opposites. They find that the apples are hard, but the pineapple rings are softer. Children follow the direction given by staff to secure the skill of cutting. They focus until they succeed and then announce, 'I cut it!' However, not all learning is as focused, and children often roam without a purpose to their play. Staff are not ambitious enough when planning for children to learn a new skill. For example, they plan for children to learn how to feed themselves by the age of two, even though they are ready at a much younger age to practise using cutlery independently.

need to do better?

n The manager has not made sure that there are enough staff holding appropriate qualifications to care for children. Too many staff are unqualified. They do not have the knowledge of child development that they need to fulfil their roles well enough. This has a negative impact on the quality of care and education that children receive. n Staff do not thoroughly risk assess all the rooms in the building that children use. Cleaning products are left within children's reach on a low-level sink where they wash their hands. n Staff do not provide opportunities for all children to take part in outdoor activities. The garden is not safe for children and is therefore not used. Toddlers go on short walks in the local community, but staff do not consistently schedule this activity for pre-school children. Babies have access to resources to develop their gross motor skills indoors, such as a slide. However, they do not have the

opportunity for daily fresh air and outdoor activity. n Staff do not always manage behaviour in a way that promotes children's understanding of expectations and boundaries. Some staff confiscate children's toys when they struggle to share rather than supporting children to develop the social skills they need to successfully play with others. Younger children are unnecessarily strapped in their chairs and encouraged to watch nursery rhyme

1 November 2022 cartoons while staff attend to routine tasks. n Staff know their whistle-blowing responsibilities. However, the manager has not followed the setting's safeguarding policy when staff have made an allegation about a colleague. She has not consulted with the local authority designated officer to determine the correct action to be taken in such circumstances. n Staff provide some activities that children enjoy. For example, babies play with dried pasta. However, on the whole, children are not deeply engaged in learning. Despite knowing what children like doing, staff do not always provide activities that interest them. Furthermore, children are not supported to develop at the rate of which they are capable. For example, staff feed older babies with a spoon rather than allowing them the opportunity to learn this skill for themselves. n The manager works alongside staff to coach them. She gives staff some

constructive feedback about their interactions with children that goes some way to developing their teaching practice. Staff say that they feel supported by the manager and that they are happy in their roles. n The manager has failed to notify Ofsted of significant events that may affect the suitability of those looking after children. This is an offence. This means that Ofsted cannot determine whether children are being cared for by appropriate adults.

p.3

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff recognise the signs that suggest that a child might be at risk, but the manager does not make sure the safeguarding policy is adhered to. Allegations about staff are not handled in a way that follows the setting's procedure. Children's health and safety are not always assured because they are exposed to risks in their environment. Nevertheless, there is always a trained first aider available to respond if children have minor accidents. Staff know the signs to look out for that could suggest that a person is being radicalised.
