The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The leadership and management team have a good knowledge of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. They are completely committed to the ongoing development of the creche.  Staff prepare children well for the next stage in their learning because the creche has good partnerships with the nurseries they move on to. Staff help children know what to expect in the next stage.  Staff have a detailed knowledge of each child's needs through excellent relationships with parents and continual observations and assessments. As a result, all children, including those with additional needs, make good progress.  Children feel safe and secure because staff have a good understanding of how to safeguard children. They are aware of the child protection procedures to follow if they have any concerns.  Teaching is good because staff understand how young children learn and regularly update their knowledge and skills.

who attend. This is good

This is a caring and well-run creche. The quality of teaching is good and sometimes better than good. Children benefit from a knowledgeable leadership and staff team . Staff are enthusiastic and work well in partnership with parents and other professionals. This means that staff quickly identify any additional needs and plan effective activities and support. This helps ensure that all children achieve and make progress. Staff have high expectations of all children. They listen to children and make regular assessments which they use to prepare and provide challenging experiences and activities. The skilled staff develop children's communication and language skills as they use various ways to encourage interactions, both verbal and non-verbal. Children settle quickly because there is a strong partnership with parents and the creche. The staff fully support mothers who follow their own feeding routines.

good

Babies progress well because they develop secure emotional attachments with caring staff. Staff are good role models and children's behaviour is consistently good. Children develop independence and confidence. The environment, both indoors and outside, has a good range of resources to support children's development and learning. Children engage in activities that positively develop their physical skills. Staff use a flexible approach and plan effective activities which prepare babies well for a move into the toddler room. They work closely with parents to agree the best time for the move. Staff support children well as they learn to manage their personal hygiene and teach them about healthy lifestyles.

p.3

provision is good

Management and leadership is very strong. Leaders monitor staff performance as they effectively help children learn. Self-evaluation is robust which means that the children benefit from continuous improvement. Thorough recruitment procedures ensure staff are suitable. Staff are fully aware of the need to act effectively to protect children from harm. The manager meets regularly with staff and monitors their practices. There is a good programme of professional development for staff, including opportunities for further training. This means children benefit from a skilled and knowledgeable workforce.
