Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff support children's safety at all times and know the procedures to follow if any concerns are identified. All adults working with children have their suitability checked. Children play in safe and secure premises. Staff are well deployed to support children's safety. Staff share important information with local schools to provide ongoing support for children. The provider monitors staff practice and implements effective supervision meetings. Staff are encouraged to complete further training to improve their expertise.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe and assess children's abilities when they start, and they know the children well. Staff plan and offer ample activities to complement children's ongoing development and interests from school. For example, children thoroughly enjoy stories being read to them and they also read to each other. Children enthusiastically play table tennis games and enjoy the friendly competition. Staff try to accommodate children's interests; for example, playing outside and taking part in large physical games. Children make their own choices and decisions about what they want to do. For example, they choose and enjoy role play activities, board games and reading activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff organise routines well. They skilfully take into consideration the different ages of the children and meet their needs effectively. Staff encourage children to follow good hygiene routines, and children confidently attend to their personal needs. Children behave well and they understand the consequences of their behaviour. Children learn about safety, for example, when staff talk to them about road safety to help them keep safe and be more aware of the environment around them. Children respect others. Staff encourage positive attitudes and provide good opportunities to discuss the similarities and differences of others in the community or further away. Children learn about healthy lifestyles. For example, staff provide a wide range of nutritious foods and children make their own healthy snacks.
