p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

Leaders and managers do not adequately monitor the effectiveness of staff practice. Staff do not receive appropriate supervisions, which is a breach of the requirements. This lack of monitoring and supervision means that managers do not ensure that a consistent level of training, support and coaching is in place for staff to be effective in their roles.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

Children are collected from school by the friendly and caring staff. As they walk from school to the setting, they enthusiastically talk about their day, and staff listen with delight. Staff support children to settle quickly when they arrive at the setting. Children know the routine well and follow it confidently. For example, they independently help themselves to snack when they arrive and know to tidy up when they have finished. Staff motivate children to join in and exercise in the fresh air. For instance, they happily take part in active games, such as football. This supports children's health and well-being.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff support the children to take turns and remind them to follow the setting's rules. For example, they are reminded not to run indoors. Children enjoy one another's company and are kind and sensitive to each other. For instance, older children help the younger children when drawing. They spend long periods of time creating their pictures together. This helps children to build on their personal, social and emotional skills and learn how to behave well.

n Leaders ensure that new staff have detailed inductions when they start. However, while there are procedures for staff supervision and professional development, these are not being followed. Although staff feel their well-being is supported, they do not receive appropriate supervision, coaching or mentoring. This affects how well leaders identify and address weaknesses in staff knowledge or practice, to ensure they consistently meet requirements and provide quality childcare that continually improves. n Since the last inspection, a new manager has started. The manager is passionate about providing an inviting space where children enjoy coming and have fun with their friends. They evaluate the setting by seeking the views of the children. This helps them to identify areas to develop. n Staff communicate well each day with schools about the children and have good working relationships. There are effective procedures in place for collecting the

11 December 2023 safety, including risk assessing when it is safe to cross the road. This supports children to learn how to keep themselves safe. n Staff have clear expectations for children's behaviour. They discuss the setting's values and rules, which have been put in place with the children. For example, the children know they must put on high-visibility jackets when they are collected from school and go out on the field. Staff support children of all ages to take part in activities together and to form strong friendships. For instance, they encourage and give the younger children resources to build a den. Older children enjoy making jewellery with their friends. They are reminded to share resources and work together. For example, children are supported to share the torches and enjoy making shadows with their hands in the den. n Parents speak positively about the setting. They feel that their children are well

cared for and very happy to attend. Parents are complimentary about the staff and share how welcoming and supportive they are. They feel that staff are very good at sharing and passing on information to the school. n Children have effective inductions to help them to settle when they first start at the setting. The children shared that they love the setting. They talk confidently about their favourite activities and say that the staff are 'fun'. Staff seek and value the views of the children. For instance, they talk to the children each day about what they would like to do and let them choose the activities. This supports children in understanding that their opinions matter and are valued.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Since the last inspection, all staff have attended safeguarding training, and the safeguarding policy has been revised. This has enabled staff to develop their knowledge and understanding of how to keep children safe. The new manager has a secure understanding of her role as the designated safeguarding lead. The manager and staff are aware of the processes to follow in the event of an allegation against a member of staff. They understand the signs and symptoms of abuse and procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child's welfare. Recruitment procedures are effective to ensure that staff are suitable for their roles. Staff are well deployed to make sure that children are supervised at all times.
