p.1

The provision is inadequate

Weaknesses in leadership and management compromise children's welfare. The provider does not assure there is sufficient oversight of the provision to ensure robust safeguarding policies and procedures are followed. For example, staff do not always recognise when children may be at risk of abuse or neglect and do not take prompt action, as required. This means that safeguarding is ineffective, and children's safety and well-being is compromised. However, the arrangements to support children's learning are strong.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children arrive happy and separate from their parents with confidence, ready to start their day. Staff build strong and trusting relationships with children, offering them lots of reassurance when needed. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Children have fun as they play and demonstrate positive attitudes to learning. For example, they enjoy imaginative play and pretend to be builders. Children scoop and mix sand with spades to make their own 'cement'. Children behave well and staff are good role models. For instance, they praise children for sharing, listening and turn-taking. This influences their positive behaviour.

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Children are keen to explore the wide range of activities that staff provide. For instance, they delight in painting their hands and making prints on paper. Children giggle as they enjoy the feeling of the paint brush on their fingers. Staff challenge children's learning by asking questions, such as how they can change the overall colour of the paint. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported by staff to access the activities on offer. As a result, all children are making good levels of progress.

n The provider does not have effective oversight of monitoring potential safeguarding concerns. For example, escalation and patterns of concerns identified have not been sufficiently monitored over time. This means that the provider is not managing records and concerns to ensure the needs of all children are met. Safeguarding procedures have not been implemented effectively to ensure that children are safe. For instance, leaders have failed to ensure that staff recognise the signs of potential risks to children and act on them in a timely manner. This compromises children's safety and welfare. n Partnerships with parents is a key strength of the setting. Parents appreciate how kind, nurturing and supportive the staff are. They value the time staff take to discuss their children's day, and feel well informed about their children's learning. Staff provide a wealth of information to promote healthy lifestyles and

work with parents to promote children's oral health. In addition, parents are invited to special events, such as Mother's Day celebrations.

17 March 2025 n Staff support children with SEND well and make good use of additional funding. They work effectively with parents and other professionals to ensure they receive the support they need. They also communicate and share information with teachers to help children experience a smooth transition into school. This means that children with SEND make good progress. n Children benefit from a broad curriculum, that focuses on all areas of learning. Staff plan a range of activities and experiences to build on what they want children to learn next. However, staff do not always fully implement these intentions consistently through their teaching and interactions with children. That said, children make progress and benefit from the learning opportunities that activities provide. n Staff support children's communication and language development well. For instance, they introduce lots of new vocabulary in activities and engage children

in back-and-forth conversations. Staff use communication visual aids to support those who are developing their speech. This helps all children, including those with SEND, to find their 'voice' and become confident communicators. n Overall, children are learning to be independent. For instance, staff encourage children to use the toilet and wash their hands before mealtimes. However, at times, staff are too quick to complete simple tasks for children that they could try for themselves, such as putting on their coat and wiping their nose. This means that children are not always fully encouraged to master their independence skills. n Staff support children to practise and develop their physical skills through a range of activities. For example, younger children strengthen their hand muscles as they squeeze and pinch play dough. Older children show good control as they paint detailed pictures and attempt to write letters from their name. All children
