who attend. This is good

Staff have a good understanding of identifying children's starting points in learning and conduct, using ongoing observations of their skills. Through comprehensive assessments, they plan and promote children's next steps of development. Overall, staff provide a rich and varied range of activities for all the age groups. For example, young children show great delight as they explore pouring and filling containers during water play. This supports their physical skills and mathematical learning. Older children demonstrate their readiness for school, as they learn to sit for extended periods of time during writing activities. Children develop good friendships and are able to listen to each other's ideas. Staff in the baby room spend quality time sitting with the babies and provide lots of interaction to support their early development. They are sensitive to children's needs and are responsive in identifying when young babies want to play or need to have a sleep.

Children build secure attachments with their key person. They are caring and sensitively help children to move between the various rooms as they grow and develop, and prepare them well for their move to school. Overall, staff know the children well and this enables them to talk about their families, to help promote their emotional well-being and security. Staff develop children's understanding of healthy lifestyles by providing healthy foods for snack time and promote children's physical exercise by encouraging them to take part in daily 'wake and shake' sessions. Additionally, children benefit from healthy and nutritious home-cooked meals and staff effectively promote their independence, resulting in all age groups of children being able to feed themselves.

provision is good

Staff benefit from the strong leadership team that understands their responsibilities in meeting children's learning and development needs, and promoting their welfare. The manager regularly monitors the quality of the provision, including children's progress, in conjunction with outside agencies to close any gaps in learning. She ensures staff practice effectively supports the needs of all children. This includes thorough scrutiny of staff's understanding of keeping required records, such as those relating to all accidents, however minor. Overall, the manager uses effective process of self-evaluation to help identify areas for improvement. The manager implements thorough procedures for staff recruitment and rigorously observes staff performance through induction, regular supervision meetings and yearly appraisals.
