This provision is good

 The manager and her team reflect well on the quality of the provision. They use the views of parents and children in their evaluation and have a clear vision about the areas for further improvement.  Staff support children who are learning English as an additional language well to help them to make good progress. For example, staff use a variety of methods, such as signing, visual prompts and learning key words in children's home languages, to help them understand and communicate.  Staff are good at helping children settle. For example, children quickly form strong relationships with their key persons to help them develop the confidence to explore the environment.  Staff place a strong emphasis on working to narrow any gaps in learning for those children who may be at lower than typical levels of development. For example, they work in close partnerships with other professionals to ensure consistency in care and

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have training so they are confident in child protection issues. They know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The manager follows robust recruitment and induction procedures to ensure the suitability of staff. She monitors children's progress well to help staff easily identify if children need any additional support in their learning. The manager works well to support children and their families. For example, she works in good partnerships with other agencies to support children's specialist care and learning needs. The manager completes regular appraisals and meetings with staff to identify areas for their professional development, which is also in response to children's needs. For example, staff implemented their training on communication effectively to support children with communication and language needs, including those who speak English as an additional language.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff collect a great deal of information from parents about what their children know and can do. This enables them to understand each child's starting points and plan for their continued learning. Staff use their assessments of children's achievements and individual interests to plan for their future learning. Staff provide a stimulating environment where children are able to choose resources independently. For example, children capably improved the exciting den they had built by adding resources to develop their imaginative play. Staff help children to extend their learning and solve problems. For example, when children built towers with different-shaped blocks, they worked out how to add and balance more on top. Staff are skilled in motivating children's learning. They are enthusiastic and join in with children's play. Partnerships with parents are strong. They meet regularly with their children's key persons and are fully included in their children's

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children feel safe and confident. They behave well and understand the high expectations staff have of their behaviour. Staff promote the 'golden rules' with children in a range of ways, such as using visual prompt cards. Children develop an early understanding of healthy lifestyles. For example, they are offered a good choice of healthy meals and snacks, and have regular opportunities to play outside in the fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with additional needs, make good progress. Children are motivated and curious as they explore the wide range of interesting resources and develop the skills they need for future learning and school.
