p.1

This provision is good

 Staff provide a stimulating and welcoming environment for children. Children are interested and motivated to learn. They make good progress from their starting points.  The provider monitors children's progress effectively to help her and the staff plan for their interests. She successfully identifies any gaps in their development and provides good support to help children catch up quickly.  Staff share children's progress with parents and they encourage them to share what children achieve at home, to ensure consistency in care and learning. Parents speak highly of staff and have good relationships with them. Children settle easily and enjoy attending the provision.  The provider reviews her provision effectively to help her to improve and better support children. For example, staff now use well-planned group activities to extend children's learning.  Children effectively acquire the skills they need to help them move on to their next

stage of learning. For example, they are confident, secure and independent.

 The inspector talked with parents, the provider, staff and children at appropriate times during the inspection.  The inspector observed the staff's interactions during activities, indoors and outdoors, and looked at a range of resources and equipment.  The inspector sampled a range of documentation including children's details, learning records, insurance and other relevant documentation.  The inspector undertook a joint observation with the provider.  The inspector had discussions with the provider about policies and procedures, and methods of assessing and planning for children's progress. The inspector also discussed how staff work with parents and other providers.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff complete safeguarding training to help increase their knowledge. They know how to identify signs that a child may be at risk of harm and how to follow procedures to help protect them. Staff carry out risk assessments to minimise any hazards to children. The provider carries out regular supervision meetings with staff and encourages them to develop their professional practice. Staff receive regular training and support to improve their teaching. They now have a better knowledge of how to manage children's behaviour and how to teach boys. Staff make strong links with external agencies to help meet children's individual needs. For example, staff share important information to support consistency of care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff understand how children learn and they help them to develop successfully across all the areas of learning. They provide children with good opportunities to develop their creativity. For example, children enjoy making pretend pizzas with a wide range of materials. Staff help children develop their literacy skills well. For example, children pay attention and listen with interest to stories read by staff. They hold conversations about family members and they give explanations using complex sentences. Staff help children to develop their early writing skills effectively. For example, children confidently draw circles and squares. Children engage effectively in imaginative role play based on their own experiences; they pretend to cook and dress up as fire people.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff work well together and they are positive role models. For example, they praise and encourage children, congratulating them on their achievements. Children enjoy the responsibility of carrying out small tasks. They tidy away and help younger children. Children display confidence in talking to other children and asking adults for help, for example, when they need to attend to their personal needs. Children learn about the feelings of others and respond positively to behaviour boundaries; they behave well. Children learn about the wider world in positive ways. For example, they play with toys which reflect the wider world and they celebrate different festivals, including their own. Staff teach children about safety. For example, they talk to them about road safety on trips out.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop good communication skills. For example, they express their preferences at mealtimes, and they confidently interact with each other and staff. Children who speak more than one language learn to speak English well. Children develop good literacy skills. They learn to write the letters of their names and link sounds to letters.
