Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The owner/manager has developed thorough recruitment processes to check that all staff, including volunteers, are suitable to work with children. She checks that they have a good knowledge and understanding of how to keep children safe and to safeguard children's welfare. The staff have good working partnerships with other professionals. Staff make sure that families receive the help they need and that children can achieve their developmental goals, whatever their backgrounds. The owner/manager monitors her staff and children's progress carefully to ensure consistency in children's progress and in teaching. For example, she regularly reviews children's written assessments and discusses these with her staff. Staff regularly share children's achievements with parents. All adults involved with a child work together well to meet children's individual needs and promote their development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have improved planning and offer children a variety of interesting activities. They use good teaching skills to adapt these for each child. They base planning on children's interests. For example, children's interest in transport led to stimulating activities with toy vehicles. Staff help children to develop their communication and language skills well. For example, children discuss past events in their lives with staff. Children enjoy recalling a story after listening to it. This helps support their early literacy skills. Staff promote children's mathematical skills effectively. For example, staff use about basic mathematical language so children learn about shapes and compare sizes of objects.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

All children, especially babies, enjoy close relationships with their key person, who helps them to be settled and secure, and ready to learn. The key-person system is well established. Staff have a good understanding of their children's individual physical needs and meet these well. Children follow good hygiene routines. Staff are good role models to children and use consistent behaviour management methods. They talk to the children in a calm and respectful manner. This helps children to understand how to manage their own behaviour and to make friends. Children play harmoniously, whether in a group or on their own. They use good manners and follow simple rules. Staff praise children for their achievements, which boosts their self-esteem. Children learn to share and willingly try new things.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and successfully develop the key skills needed for starting school. Children are confident and can express their views. They manage their personal needs , listen to what staff say and learn be independent for example, in peeling and cutting fruits during snack time.
