This provision is good

 Staff are good role models for children. Children learn to behave appropriately, and to value and respect others.  Staff value each child and meet their individual needs effectively. Babies and children develop strong relationships with their key persons and this helps them to feel safe and secure.  Relationships with parents are positive. Staff engage and effectively involve them in their children's care and learning. Parents value the bonds that staff develop with their children and comment on the staff's dedication to provide good-quality care.  Good use is made of children's interests to plan learning activities and staff know the children well. For example, the organisation of the environment encourages children to explore freely and use their imagination.  The manager monitors children's development to ensure they all make continual progress. She ensures staff identify and plan to support any learning gaps. All babies

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

All staff provide a range of positive experiences to help children make progress in the next steps in their learning. The manager supports all staff and encourages them to be reflective about their practice. Opportunities for training to develop their knowledge focus on improving outcomes for children. The manager ensures that safeguarding and child protection policies and procedures are in place. All staff have a comprehensive understanding of safeguarding and know who to contact if they have concerns. They regularly review the risk assessments to keep children safe. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a positive learning environment. They engage children in a good variety of activities that provide positive opportunities to learn. The key person clearly assesses children's starting points and effectively continues to track their progress to ensure they are prepared well for school. Staff help children to gain a positive interest in books and reading. For example, they provide related items for children to explore as they read a familiar story. There is a good range of resources to support children's imaginative play and staff use this well to extend children's learning and language skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff encourage children to develop independence and decision-making skills. For example, children learn to manage their personal care needs, such as pouring water for themselves during lunch. Children fully engage with the learning experiences and show enthusiasm and focus. They have positive relationships with staff and other children. For example, children are confident and happy to engage in conversations, ask questions and listen carefully. Staff help children learn about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, for instance, they provide nutritious meals and active outdoor play. Children learn to respect people's differences. For example, they participate in activities that celebrate other cultures and staff encourage children to use their home languages.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the key skills they need for the next steps in their learning. They engage in role play, listen carefully during story time and play with props to engage further in the story. Children enjoy creative activities, such as painting and making shapes and models with dough. They develop confident physical skills, such as competently using the climbing frame and slide outside. Children develop well to become effective learners and this helps support the move to school.
