What is it like to attend this early years setting?
This provision does not meet requirements The provider has failed to take action to ensure the setting is secure. Following a previous incident, the provider has not taken steps to improve the security of the setting within the shared building, which puts children at risk. Furthermore, staff have a poor understanding of the risk assessments, which means they fail to take steps to keep the premises safe and secure.
Despite these concerns, children are supervised well by caring staff. Children are happy, make friends and play together well. The provider plans a range of activities to stimulate children's learning.
Children take part in active games. They joi...n in with circle games and sports activities, which develop their physical skills. Children learn to follow simple rules, such as stopping to listen when they hear the clapping cue.
Children are confident to chat to each other, and adults, about their drawings and home lives. Staff support children to take part in activities and offer them reassurance when they feel upset. Younger children enjoy snuggling up to a member of staff for cuddles.
However, not all staff know enough about individual children to ensure their needs are met.
What does the early years setting do well and what does it need to do better?
Risk assessment arrangements are ineffective. In addition to the concerns about the security of the setting, not all hazards are identified and removed.
For example, the cable from the vacuum cleaner was left trailing on the floor, which causes a trip hazard. This puts children at risk of accidents.The provider does not make sure all staff have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities.
Seasonal or temporary staff do not receive thorough induction training to ensure they have a good understanding of how to keep children safe.Staff complete regular safeguarding training and recognise the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. They know how to report any concerns about children to the designated safeguarding lead at the setting.
However, some staff do not know the whistle-blowing procedures to follow, were they to have concerns about an adult's behaviour towards a child. This means allegations may not be reported.Information about children's personal care is not shared well.
Although the provider gathers information from parents prior to children attending, not all staff know about the children's individual care needs. This indicates there are weaknesses in the key-person arrangements and impacts on how well children's individual needs are met.Children behave well.
Staff help them to resolve problems, such as taking turns with resources. Staff consistently reinforce strategies that help children learn to regulate their behaviour, such as countdowns to give children notice prior to changes in activities.Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well.
The provider liaises with other settings attended by children to ensure a consistency in the children's care plans.Children listen attentively and enjoy stories. Staff engage children in storytelling by asking questions which support them to think about what might happen next.
This helps children develop their imagination and language skills, as well developing an interest in books.Parents say the setting listens to their concerns and is flexible to meet children's needs. This indicates the provider understands their responsibility to work in partnership with parents.

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective.There is not an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts children's interests first.
