Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager has high expectations for the level of care and learning children receive. She shows strong leadership and supports staff's personal development well. The staff team has regular meetings with the manager to identify aspects of their practice to develop further and access relevant training courses. For example, from recent training staff have introduced new ideas to develop children's outdoor learning. The manager and staff monitor and track children's progress closely and any gaps in development are quickly identified. The manager effectively supports all staff and children to close gaps in learning. The pre-school has good links with local schools. The staff arrange visits with teachers and encourage information sharing to support children's move to school. Safeguarding is effective. All staff attend safeguarding training and have a good understanding of how to deal with any child protection concerns.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff plan a wide variety of learning experiences for children. Children show good motivation in their learning and spend a long time engaged in activities. For example, children enjoy taking their time cutting and sticking different materials to make pictures. The staff know how to promote children's play positively and how to help them achieve. Staff promote mathematical development well. For instance, children confidently count toys and recognise numbers during play. Staff skilfully support children's language development. For example, they repeat speech back to children and show them how to use full sentences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The staff provide a welcoming environment where children are happy and at ease. They gather detailed information from parents, which they use to help children settle quickly into the setting. Children enjoy cuddles with staff and are keen to include them in their play. Staff act as good role models for children. Children develop good social skills and a secure understanding of the need to value differences in the world. Staff consistently praise and encourage children and this builds their self-esteem and confidence for future learning. Children develop a strong sense of independence. For example, they choose when to play in the well-equipped outside play area and are supported to dress themselves.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those with additional needs, make good progress in their learning in relation to their starting points. Children learn secure mathematics, communication and physical skills and socialise very well. They gain the confidence and skills needed for their next stages in learning.
