p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Management and staff regularly check the progress of groups and individual children to identify any gaps in learning. They provide well-targeted support to help children catch up. Management supervises staff and sets them challenging targets to help them improve their practice. Staff attend additional courses to strengthen their skills. They share good practice, discuss the effectiveness of their planning and adapt their activities to meet the needs of individual children. Safeguarding is effective. The provider checks all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. Management and staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding practices. They understand the safeguarding procedures to follow if they have any welfare concerns about children in their care. Management seeks the views of staff, parents, children and others to improve outcomes for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a wide range of exciting experiences and resources to promote children's learning. They work well with parents and use gradual settling-in arrangements to help children to become familiar with their surroundings and staff. Staff collate information from parents about what their children know, can do and need to learn next. They use this information with their ongoing observations to support children's learning and development. Children enjoy blowing bubbles and make interesting comments on their colours, shapes and sizes. They love books and talk about their favourite characters and events. Staff consistently talk to children and help them learn new vocabulary.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff model good behaviour for learning and help children know right from wrong. Children share resources, take turns and consider the feelings of others. They learn to manage risks securely through planned activities, such as slicing fruits with knives and handling paintbrushes with care. Children engage well in daily physical play and fresh air outdoors. For instance, they learn to ride the bikes and scooters with increasing control and use swings safely. They enjoy collecting leaves and talk about their colours and textures, and know how to help plants grow. Staff conduct regular thorough checks on outings and the premises, including the outdoors, to keep children safe and secure.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and are well-prepared for school. Any gaps in learning are rapidly closed. Children are motivated to learn. For example, they lead on singing and play with musical instruments to explore different sounds. Children listen attentively and respond well to staff's requests. Older children develop independence and self-care skills. For instance, they put on their coats before they go outside to play and show good knowledge of road safety. They count objects and order numerals correctly.
