A nursery has been told four areas "need attention" following a visit by Ofsted.
Treetops Pudsey, on Littlemoor Road which now appears to be called Busy Bees, supports children aged one to four.
An inspection took place on August 20, with the latest report finding that children do not always receive the help needed to build their skills and knowledge.
Four areas 'Need Attention'
Ofsted has identified concerns about achievement, teaching and curriculum, inclusion, and leadership and governance.
Inspectors said plans were in place to meet children’s individual needs, but they were not implemented or reviewed consistently. As a result, some children did not receive the support required to make the progress they were capable of.
The report said: “Children do not consistently make the progress they are capable of across all areas of learning and development.”
SEND support not delivered consistently
The report said children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) were not consistently given targeted support. It concluded that many children were not well prepared for their next stage of learning.
Teaching and the curriculum were also judged to need attention. SEND children were not always supported to access the curriculum.
The report said: “Teaching is not consistently matched to children's age, stage of development or individual needs.”
Inclusion was another area of concern.
Leaders were not consistently checking that children with SEND received suitable support.
The report also said they had not ensured staff had the training and skills needed to put support strategies in place.
Leadership criticised over lack of oversight
The report said: “Leaders do not have oversight and so do not consistently ensure that children receive their educational entitlement.”
It added: “Children who face barriers to their learning are not fully supported to build on their skills and knowledge to make progress towards their milestones.”
The report said support plans were implemented inconsistently, affecting children’s progress.
It also identified weaknesses in staff deployment, which led to 'missed opportunities' for children with additional needs.

Leaders had set out a curriculum vision and identified the knowledge, skills and behaviours they wanted children to develop. However, inspectors said this had not yet been embedded across the setting.
The report said plans to improve staff knowledge, teaching skills and understanding of the curriculum had also not yet had a positive impact. Adding, staff did not consistently receive the coaching, guidance and training needed for their roles.
Behaviour and welfare meet expected standards
Behaviour, attitudes and routines were judged to meet the expected standard.
Leaders have established clear routines, and staff treated children with warmth and respect.
Children’s welfare and wellbeing also met the expected standard.
The nursery was approached for comment but declined to provide a statement.
