p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know and understand how to identify concerns about a child's welfare. Staff carry out robust risk assessments to help ensure children are safe and secure. The provider effectively drives ongoing improvement. She consistently reviews practice and supports staff as they work. For example, most staff members hold a level 3 qualification and use their training well to strengthen their care and teaching. Resources have been increased to further support children's learning and creativity. Staff support children with special educational needs very well and work effectively with other relevant professionals to meet children's specific needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff effectively plan for, and provide, a stimulating range of learning experiences. Staff promote babies' social and emotional development well. For example, they have established close bonds and babies settle easily. They enjoy cuddles and respond happily to staff. Staff promote children's physical development effectively. For example, children enjoy riding wheeled toys, and balancing and hopping across large tyres. Staff support children's early reading skills effectively. For example, children enjoy listening to stories and show they understand the sequence of the story. Staff promote children's creative skills well through activities, such as imaginative role play and making patterns with cornflour.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff effectively promote children's awareness of the wider world. For example, children learn to celebrate festivals and play with resources that reflect positive images of all people. Staff promote children's confidence in managing their personal needs and teach them about good hygiene procedures. They also teach children about safety. For example, children discuss the possible dangers of crossing roads and they help to tidy away resources after use. Staff support children's understanding of healthy lifestyles well. For example, children eat nutritious meals and discuss the positive effects this has on their bodies. Staff help prepare children well for school. For example, they organise visits to local schools and help children understand what will be expected of them at school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children communicate well and are confident and secure. They share and take turns, and learn how to attend to their personal needs. Children learn through play and routines, and make strong friendships with their peers.
