p.1

The provision is inadequate

Some staff do not have a secure understanding of all safeguarding practice. These staff do not know how to recognise all indicators of abuse, and what appropriate procedures to follow to protect children and keep them safe. Children are also exposed to hazards at this nursery. Staff do not complete thorough risk assessments of the environment to ensure the premises are safe and secure. Babies are at risk of potential harm. They are not appropriately supervised by staff during play activities and when they are eating. Older children are not provided with the necessary resources to support their self-care routines when independently using the toilet.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children across the nursery do not benefit from a clear and well-planned curriculum. Staff do not help them make the best progress in their learning and development. Children are not challenged in their play or provided with age- appropriate activities. For example, when babies join up with toddlers in their room, they have no activities planned specifically for them. Children in this room learn incidentally and are often observed to be wandering around the room and not engaged in meaningful learning. When staff do interact with them, staff fail to extend and build on children's knowledge and skills or support their communication and language development. For example, during a story, staff use words such as 'doggy' rather than use the correct pronunciation of 'dog' as they talk with the children about the animals in the book. That said, some toddlers enjoy water play as they fill and empty containers. Pre-school children sometimes show

n Some staff have weak safeguarding knowledge in some areas. They do not have up-to-date knowledge of more recent safeguarding practice, such as county lines. They are not clear on what radicalisation is or understand the role of the local authority designated officer (LADO). As a result, some staff are unable to protect children from potential risk of harm within these areas. n Children's safety is not prioritised, as the provider does not ensure the premises are secure. During the inspection, unauthorised adults entered the nursery through the main external nursery door. They accessed an internal office door that leads to a room where children are being cared for. n Staff fail to take swift action to minimise hazards to children. For example, in the children's outdoor play area, rendering has fallen down from a wall and is accessible to children. This poses a potential risk to children. n Staff do not supervise babies during their exploration of soft-play equipment.

1 March 2023 left in high chairs without close supervision at snack time. Therefore, staff are not close by to manage any potential emergencies, such as babies choking on their food. n Pre-school children are not supported in their self-care routines and needs. For example, staff comment that children have to ask for toilet paper when they use the toilet. This practice does not help children be more independent or develop their self-care skills in readiness for school. n Although the deputy manager has started to develop a vision for the curriculum, staff do not understand how to implement it. They do not know what and how they want children to learn. For example, some staff comment that in order to support children's communication and language skills, they want children to learn to sing louder during singing time. n The management team does not identify weaknesses in teaching practice. Staff are not offered effective support and coaching. As a result, the quality of

p.2

teaching and the outcomes for children are poor. n Staff do not engage and interact with children effectively. At times, they fail to make the most of children's play and experiences. For example, during a sports hall activity, staff provide children with balls, skittles and cones. Staff do not help children to learn how to use these resources or develop their physical skills appropriately. Consequently, children become bored and disengaged. They run around the hall and kick the skittles and cones. n Children's communication and language development are not supported. During an activity with bangles in the toddler room, staff smile or say 'big one'. They do not encourage children to develop their vocabulary. Additionally, in the pre- school room during a play dough activity, staff focus on children who are confident to speak in the group. They do not encourage children who are quieter or those children who speak English as an additional language to join in with the

conversations. n Overall, parents comment that they are happy with the service provided and that they value the support from the staff team.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

The management team does not ensure that all staff have a secure knowledge and understanding of all safeguarding practice. Some staff have no knowledge of county lines, neither do some staff have a clear understanding of how to protect children from potential radicalisation and the role of the LADO. That said, all staff know the main types and signs of abuse, such as neglect, and what procedures they must follow should they have a concern about a child's welfare. Staff do not complete thorough risk assessments of the environment to ensure it is safe and secure to keep children from harm of potential risks.
