Summary
- The provision is inadequate Children's health and wel -being are significantly compromised.
- Staff use of risk assessment is ineffective.
- They do not recognise when the learning environment is too cluttered and how this poses a risk to children.
- Babies are observed trying to move around the room and needing to climb over resources and equipment that are unsteady.
- As a result, they lose their balance and fall.
- Children's learning experiences are weak.
- There are numerous resources available to help staff enhance the activities they provide, yet staff do not use these.
- For example, as older children play in the mud kitchen, they do not benefit from staff using the resources intended to help them learn.
- In addition, staff lack sufficient understanding of children's individual learning needs.
- They do not have high enough expectations for what children can do.
- For instance, staff speak about what 'children of this age' should be learning, not what individual children are learning based on their unique needs.
