Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The quality of provision at the setting is constantly being improved through use of effective self-evaluation. The manager takes account of the views of parents, staff and children to help implement an effective programme of development. Children's progress towards their early learning goals is supported well by a broad curriculum that incorporates exciting and interesting activities and experiences. Good partnerships with external agencies help to ensure that children's individual needs are met. Safeguarding is effective. The manager works with staff to maintain a safe play environment and ensures staff know how to respond to any concerns about a child's well-being.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are deployed effectively to support children in their play. While they encourage children to play independently, they are on hand to offer appropriate support as needed and to extend their learning. They routinely ask children what they like to do and build on their interests. Staff have a good knowledge of how children learn and they concentrate on their personal, social and emotional development along with physical, communication and language skills with the younger children. Children are well prepared for moving on to school and gain valuable experiences in literacy and mathematical development. Children experience visits outside of the setting to enhance those they have in the setting. For example they visit the local school and shops, and explore local natural environments.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

All staff model positive behaviour and language and have high expectations of the children's behaviour. They help children to play harmoniously and to respect one another's differences. The older children are always willing to help the younger children and show them how to do things. Children enter the setting happily and are keen to explore independently and have a go at exciting activities. They are motivated and enjoy playing with their friends. The key-person system works well, enabling staff to get to know the children and their families well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points on entry to the setting and gain the skills they will need in their future learning and school. Children who are learning English as an additional language are supported well in their communication and language development.
