p.1

The provision is inadequate

Leaders and staff are unsure of what and how they want children to learn. This means that children do not access well-planned activities and experiences to help them make the progress they are capable of. Staff welcome children into the setting, which helps children to separate from their parents and carers and join their friends. However, overall, children are not receiving good enough levels of teaching and support in their learning .

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Leaders do not ensure that staff have the required skills, knowledge and understanding of how to support children's learning and development. This results in weak interactions between staff and children. Staff supervise children rather than engaging them in purposeful learning. Children occupy themselves with activities but there is no clear plan in place for learning. Activities are not based on children's individual interests and needs, therefore, children lose interest quickly and are not motivated to learn. This impacts on children's behaviour and results in them feeling frustrated and displaying behaviours, such as pushing and snatching. When children do have opportunities to participate in activities they enjoy, such as riding bikes, looking at books and playing with sand, they take opportunities to develop their own play. For example, during one activity children use glue and different coloured pencils. They enjoy sticking on different shapes and colour this in.

The provision is inadequate

Children are happy to show visitors what they have done.

need to do better?

n Since the last inspection, leaders have taken steps to address actions linked to promoting the safety of the children. For example, staff have attended training linked to safeguarding and behaviour management, which has supported them to keep children safe at the setting. However, leaders have not sufficiently addressed weaknesses identified around the quality of education. These weaknesses have been raised at previous inspections and this has an impact on children's individual progress. n The curriculum is not ambitious or challenging for all children. Staff carry out observations of the children and have discussions with parents. However, this information is not used effectively to know what children's interests are, what children know and what they can do. This means that learning is not individualised and relevant for all children. This has an impact on children's learning, development and progress at the setting.

p.2

need to do better?

n Leaders and staff do not have high enough expectations of children. Children spend long periods of time playing with one activity to occupy themselves. This results in children not being engaged or focused on their learning. Children become frustrated, this leads to unwanted behaviours, such as pushing one another. However, when seen by staff this behaviour is addressed appropriately.

need to do better?

11 February 2025 n Staff make use of the resources available at the setting. They sit with children and look at books and read stories. Children take time to colour in activity sheets and build a tower with blocks. However, as these activities are not planned or implemented effectively the learning environment for children can become busy and unorganised, which can impact on children not being able to focus on activities. n Staff mainly communicate with children in Yiddish. Leaders have tried to introduce the use of the English language in the daily routines and through reading stories to children. However, this is not done consistently by all staff and not in a meaningful way that supports children's understanding. This impacts on children's ability to reach a good standard of English. n Staff get to know children through gaining information when they start and having discussions with parents and carers on a regular basis. Children seek

comfort from their key person when they need it and gain reassurance. However, key persons do not use the information they have obtained from parents and carers and through their observations as children play, to provide relevant and meaningful learning experiences to their key children. n Leaders do not have effective supervision arrangements in place to support managers and staff to identify and address weaknesses in practice. This was an action raised at the last inspection and has not been sufficiently addressed by leaders. As a result, managers are not able to identify weaknesses in practice and, therefore, support staff to implement the curriculum effectively to ensure children make good progress.
