p.1

This provision is good

 Babies and toddlers are making good progress because staff plan effectively for their learning.  Children’s personal social and emotional development is fostered well. The well- established key-person system supports babies and toddlers to settle easily into the setting, builds their confidence and helps them to feel secure. They develop firm attachments to their carers and form friendships with one another.  Babies and toddlers actively engage in a good range of activities; they are interested and keen to learn. They choose toys and play materials freely throughout the day which supports their developing independence.  Care routines are well established to meet the individual needs of babies and toddlers which means they are happy and content.  Effective systems have been introduced for the supervision of staff and regular monitoring of practice and the progress of different groups of children.

who attend. This is good

Babies and toddlers are making good progress in their social, communication and physical skills because staff plan effectively for their learning. During water play children enjoy filling and emptying the containers and are delighted when shown how to pour water through the water wheel. Accurate observations of children's starting points and their ongoing progress are used to plan for their next steps of learning. Although activities are used well to teach children new skills, some physical play areas become overcrowded at times and this affects children’s ability to participate.

p.3

who attend. This is good

Babies and toddlers freely choose toys and play materials throughout the day which supports their development. Adults show respect for children and respond to what they do and say. This contributes to their learning and helps them prepare for the next stage of their learning.

p.3

good

The key person system works well and this allows children to form secure attachments and friendships with one another. For example, when babies arrive in the morning they become excited and quickly wave 'bye bye' to their parents. All children are settled and they move around the spacious room confidently to choose what they want to play with. Care routines are good because staff talk to children about what will happen next, and children are happy and content. Staff learn key words in French and Polish; this supports the learning and development of all children very effectively as the home languages of children who speak other languages in addition to English are shown to be valued.

p.3

good

Staff's knowledge of safeguarding ensures that all children are well-protected and safe. Children learn safe and healthy practices through daily routines. For example, after snack children take a tissue from the box, clean their face and then put the tissue in the bin. The provision of food and drink is good but snack times are not organised to allow children to interact with one another. .

p.3

provision is good

The leadership and the management team understand the requirements for the Early Years Foundation Stage. They have a clear overview of the progress that different groups of children are making and how to address any weaknesses in planning or resources. Staff are well qualified, they attend regular training, are monitored in practice and supported during staff supervision. This means that leaders are helping staff to increase their knowledge of early years practice to ensure that children's care and learning needs are appropriately met. Partnerships with parents and other professionals are now well established. This means that children’s starting points and ongoing development needs are quickly identified and plans are put in place to provide for children's learning.
