The provision is inadequate

Staff welcome children warmly into the nursery, this helps them to settle. However, leaders repeatedly fail to ensure that all children are receiving good levels of learning. Leaders do not quickly address weak teaching, learning and practice from staff, this results in all children not making the progress they are capable of. Overall, children arrive happy and smile, when greeted by staff and their friends. Staff plan general activities based on what all the children like to do. For example, staff provide play dough and construction for children to play with. Children are expected to spend a lot of time playing with these and staff do not engage, excite or challenge them. There is no consideration for individual learning and next steps of development. Leaders have not ensured that the curriculum is ambitious and challenging for all children including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

p.2

The provision is inadequate

Leaders and staff do not have high expectations of children and as a result children do not behave well. Children step over and kick toys and resources out of the way instead of picking them up or moving them. Due to the lack of focussed activities children become bored and restless and begin to display behaviours such as pushing and snatching. These behaviours are not addressed consistently by staff. Children enjoy their time playing outdoors, rolling hoops and throwing balls to one another. Staff try their best to interact with children encouraging them to balance and ride bikes. However, this is not consistent and not to a good level.

n Leaders have taken steps to address actions linked to promoting the safety of the children, for example staff have attended training linked to child protection and have reviewed risk assessments to support children to be safe at the nursery. However, leaders have not sufficiently addressed weaknesses identified on the quality of education, this has an impact on children's individual progress. These weaknesses have been identified at previous inspections. n Leaders have implemented supervision arrangements to identify weaknesses and areas of development in staff teaching and practice. This has had some impact on supporting children to be safe in the nursery. However, it has not been effective in ensuring that the quality of education is delivered to a good level for all children. n Staff carry out observations of the children and use this information to plan activities. However, these activities tend to be general activities based around

what all children like to do. Staff do not plan activities based on what children know and can do, therefore there is not individual and meaningful learning taking place for all children. n Interactions between staff and children are not at a good level, often, staff

need to do better?

17 June 2025 supervise children in their play rather than engaging with them in a meaningful way. In addition, staffing arrangements are not effective. For example, some staff working with children do not know relevant information about children's needs. They lack the knowledge and skills to implement individualised learning for children; this does not support all children to make best possible or good progress in their learning and development. n Staff do not help children to understand the rules and expectations of the setting. They do not act consistently when they see children pushing or snatching from one another. Staff often raise their voices to manage children's behaviour when the environment becomes noisy and disruptive. This impacts on children's attitudes to their learning as they are not able to remain focussed. n Staff communicate with children in Yiddish for most of the time. Since the last

inspection, leaders have introduced adding the English language to daily routines, activities and through reading stories to children. However, this is not done consistently, therefore it does not enable children to reach a good standard of English. n Key persons get to know children through observations and interacting with them. Children seek comfort when they need reassurance. However, key persons do not seek and use information to support children on their educational journey. Information is sought from parents when children first start but this is not continuous. This impacts on supporting children's learning and how their individual needs are met. n Children have some opportunities to develop their independence skills through supporting their own self- care, for example washing hands and using the toilet independently. However, these opportunities are not continuous, and the teaching and learning children receive to support these skills are not at a good

level. For example, at mealtimes children are served food and water. This limits the skills children are able to learn, to make decisions about how much and what they want to eat and drink. n Parents drop children off at the main entrance, some parents have discussions with staff about their children. Leaders have not implemented an effective partnership with parents where information about what children have done throughout the day is shared, their development and next steps for learning. This means that parents are not fully aware of what their children are learning and how they are developing at the nursery to fully support their learning at home. n Children with SEND are not supported to a good level. Leaders are aware of individual targets designed to specifically support children to make progress at nursery. However, this information is not well communicated to staff working with these children to ensure positive outcomes for all children.
