p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Management are fully aware of their roles to meet all the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. The manager offers guidance to staff and monitors their performance closely through regular observations of teaching and learning. She checks planning to ensure that children have access to stimulating activities and resources to support their learning. Safeguarding is effective. Robust recruitment procedures ensure adults working with children are suitably checked. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding issues and understand the correct procedures to follow if they have any welfare concerns about a child. The staff are enthusiastic about the support they provide to children. They make good use of training opportunities to increase their knowledge and skills, and to enhance good practice. Staff and management take account of the views of parents, children and school staff to improve their service.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage. They use observations of children in their play and information from parents and their teachers to plan exciting experiences to suit children's needs and abilities. Staff engage well with children in their play and offer suggestions to extend their learning. Children listen attentively and respond well to instructions. They are interested and motivated to try. For example, in a game using a parachute, children enjoyed the opportunity to create their own game, using their mathematical skills to describe position and direction. Children engage well in stories and talk about favourite characters and events. Planned activities encourage children to use their imagination and to solve problems. Staff welcome parents into the provision and give them suitable feedback about how their children have been.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff build positive relationships with parents and children. They ensure that all children, including those who come from different cultural backgrounds mix well and play together in harmony. Staff help children know right from wrong, promote good behaviour and attitudes to learning and to respect the views of others. Children are self-assured as they move around the setting. They choose their favourite activities and spend time interacting with their friends. Staff undertake regular risk assessments for the premises and resources, including fire safety checks to identify and eliminate any hazards. Children enjoy healthy snacks and the good opportunity to talk about their favourite food and cooking recipes.
