p.1

This provision is good

 The manager and staff implement effective daily procedures, which contribute to the safety and welfare of the children.  Staff plan a good balance of adult-led activities and child-initiated play, which enables children to progress well across the areas of learning.  Staff make good use of the outdoor play area to promote children's mark-making skills, creativity and encourage their thinking skills in preparation for the next stage of their learning and for school.  The manager actively supports staff's professional development and provides regular supervision and opportunities to access training. This enables staff to have good knowledge of current practices, to promote further children's learning and care experiences.  Staff introduce babies to new experiences, such as natural materials, which encourage them to explore and effectively learn through the use of their senses.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Staff miss opportunities to develop children's awareness of places by exploring the features of the local environment.  Children have fewer opportunities to use resources that represent the wider community, to further develop their understanding of diversity.

who attend. This is good

Staff use effective systems to assess children's achievements and identify where they need further support for the next stage in their development. Additionally, they take account of children's interests when planning activities to motivate children to learn. Consequently, children enjoy their time at the crche, and freely move between activities and make independent choices about their play. Babies and children are getting to know familiar routes as they regularly visit the soft play area in the school grounds, although they have fewer opportunities to go on outings to extend their learning experiences. Staff expand on babies' sounds and their attempts to communicate. Consequently, babies imitate words and are learning to speak. Staff also speak in both English and Yiddish. This particularly supports children who are less confident speakers and enhances other children's communication skills. Children develop a sense of belonging as they learn about their

culture, although role play materials representing other cultures are not readily available by staff to promote diversity further.

good

Staff promote children's emotional well-being well; they work closely with parents to help children settle in the creche when they are new. In addition, key persons work alongside other staff to prepare babies for their move to the toddler room. This helps to support children's self-confidence and to develop their relationships with staff and other children. Staff implement effective procedures to reduce the spread of germs and cross-infection, to promote children's health. Key persons monitor babies' food intake and nappy changes to ensure babies remain comfortable and healthy. Children benefit from nutritious meals that are cooked on the school premises. Staff take children outside to play and participate in a range of physical activities on a daily basis to develop their physical skills.

provision is good

The managers safeguard children effectively through secure child protection and staff recruitment procedures. They have successfully addressed the action and recommendations set at the last inspection. This has led to an improvement to children's health, safety and learning. Staff are receptive to the support they receive from the local authority, which contributes to children's learning. The managers have made immediate changes to the provision for babies' play and identified long-term plans to improve further the quality of care and education for all children. Staff have good working relationships with parents, which promote continuity of care and learning for children. The creche's strong partnership with the school contributes immensely to preparing and supporting children's move to school.
