Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The provider regularly monitors children's progress through effective tracking, to help identify and close any gaps in their learning. Staff routinely observe children in their play and make accurate assessments of children's abilities. All children develop good communication and language skills. Young children are learning to join in with conversation with adults and children. Older children are learning to listen to others and take turns when speaking in a group situation. Children are curious and active learners. For example, they enjoy spending time looking for bugs and they concentrate well as they experiment with a range of materials, including sand and water.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff work closely with parents to fully support children's move from home to the pre- school. Children settle quickly and form trusting relationships with their key persons. Staff use appropriate behaviour management strategies and children respond well. For example, children help in deciding rules and they learn important social skills, which supports their understanding of good behaviour. Children play in a clean environment where they learn to follow good hygiene practices. Children enjoy healthy foods and take part in daily activities that help to develop their physical skills.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including children who have special educational needs and those who are learning English as an additional language, make good progress in all areas of their development. Children have regular opportunities to explore early reading and writing skills. Children develop good social skills and learn to play cooperatively together. They enjoy a wide range of experiences that help to prepare them for the next stage in their learning and for school.
