p.1

The provision is inadequate

Children are happy and well cared for by staff. Most children behave well as staff praise them for their good behaviour and encourage them to use 'kind hands'. However, staff working with older age groups do not know the children well enough. As such, they do not provide a curriculum that meets older children's needs and prepares them for their next stage in learning.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Older children are not well supported to develop their vocabulary. Some staff do not recognise when children are attempting to practise their language skills. As a result, older children do not get enough opportunities to broaden their communication and language skills. However, staff in the baby room support babies to develop their emerging language. They repeat words back to children and introduce new words such as 'bubbles' when children play in the water. However, this practice is not consistent across all age groups.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children enjoy the range of activities and resources provided for them. For example, they enjoy pretending to stir food with spoons in pans. They approach staff with an ice-cream trolley and pretend to serve them ice cream. However, staff do not always interact with children to further extend their learning. Heavy reliance on agency staff means that some staff do not know what they want children to learn next. This impacts on the progress children make across all areas of learning.

n The manager has a clear vision and understanding about how to plan and organise learning for children. The manager often plans learning opportunities based on what they know about the children. However, very few staff share this good understanding of why they are providing the activities they are for children. Staff working with older children are unable to explain the purpose of what is provided or how activities link to what they want children to know and learn next. Consequently, not all children are making the progress they are capable of in their learning and development. n Most staff do not have the skills and knowledge to provide a language-rich environment. They ask too many questions in quick succession without giving children time to answer. For older age groups, there is little communication between staff and children. Older children are not given enough opportunities to develop their early speaking and listening skills.

n Staff support children to develop their mathematical skills and knowledge. They comment on colour and shapes and count alongside children. In particular, babies are learning some simple mathematical language and concepts. For example, staff count building blocks alongside babies. The babies repeat and practise the number names themselves in their play.

31 January 2023 n Babies are very well supported. They have their needs met, and their key persons know them well. Babies develop positive relationships as they laugh and play alongside their peers and staff. This gives them a good start in the nursery and helps them to develop the skills they need to move on to the next stage. n Across all age groups, children are encouraged to develop their independence. They help to hand out plates and cups at lunchtime and serve themselves dinner. The youngest children are encouraged to use knives and forks to eat with and wash their hands before they eat. n Parents say that they are happy with the care provided by the nursery. They say that their children enjoy their time at the nursery and settled quickly when they started. They describe enjoying looking at the books provided by staff that show what activities children have been taking part in. n The manager provides opportunities for permanent staff to discuss their own

learning and development through supervision sessions. She observes practice across the nursery and discusses children's needs and development with staff. However, at present, there are very few consistent staff members due to staff turnover. As such, there are inconsistencies in the quality of staff practice. As a result, not all children receive the same quality of teaching and learning, particularly older children. n The manager acknowledges the difficulties and challenges that staffing issues are having on the nursery and the children who attend. She has a robust plan to ensure that improvements are made as well as plans to provide training opportunities when new staff start in the near future.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

There are individuals with legal responsibility for the nursery who Ofsted has not been able to carry out checks for. This includes a director of the nursery. This does not ensure the safety of children as the suitability of these individuals has not been appropriately checked. Most staff understand their responsibilities to safeguard children. They can describe the signs that a child may be suffering from harm or abuse and what action they should take. However, there are staff who often have sole responsibility for groups of children who do not understand the signs they should look for. This further compromises the safety and well-being of children as this does not ensure that they receive swift support when they need it.
