who attend. This is good

Staff plan exciting and stimulating activities which help children to progress well in all areas. Staff monitor and assess children's progress. They use this information to plan for each child to ensure their needs are met effectively. Babies, toddlers and older children have easy access to unlimited resources, both indoors and outdoors. These are stored at low level to allow children to help themselves. Staff help babies and younger children to communicate and bond through activities, such as singing songs and using the sign language board. Children are confident and enjoy engaging in activities independently and with support of staff. When children dig for worms, staff use effective language that enables children to extend their learning and vocabulary well. There is some inconsistency in the teaching of mathematics. Not all staff effectively help children to become familiar with mathematical language by using it during activities and play. Staff deliver clear,

consistent messages by encouraging children to take turns and share during activities.

good

The environment is safe, warm and welcoming for children. Children can move freely between the outdoor garden and the indoor atrium, giving them ample space to develop well physically. Children are well behaved and develop good relations with one another. Staff know each child very well and children develop strong attachments to their key person. Staff observe babies' attachments when allocating their key person and keep parents informed about who this is. As a result, staff are able to meet the needs and interests of each child effectively and children feel secure. Staff promote healthy lifestyles for children of all ages by encouraging them to brush their teeth and wash their faces after mealtimes. Consequently, children begin to develop a good awareness of self-care skills.

p.3

provision is good

The manager has a good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and this helps her ensure that children's care and learning needs are met effectively. The manager continually monitors the quality of teaching and assessments which helps to identify any gaps in children's learning. The manager also monitors staff practice through regular room observations and supervision. Staff have a good understanding of how to safeguard children and know what to do if they have concerns about a child. Staff are involved in evaluating the setting's practice and the views of parents are sought through questionnaires and parents' evenings. This enables the setting to develop its drive for continuous improvement.
