p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The director and manager focus appropriately on maintaining a strong staff team. Staff have excellent opportunities to attend training events and help children move on in their learning. The manager makes very good use of systems to assess children's progress. She works with staff to develop a range of approaches that typically extend children's learning. Safeguarding is effective. The manager ensures that staff have regular opportunities to discuss safeguarding issues. There is useful information about child protection readily available to both staff and parents. The management team works closely in partnership with other professionals to offer extra support for individual children, when necessary. Parents are highly satisfied with the provision for children and in particular their children's readiness for school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children well. They are adept at working with individual children to help them develop their own ideas, for example, in role play and construction activities. Staff engage children to enhance their conversation, often introducing new vocabulary and by speaking clearly. Children enjoy the many ways in which they can explore creatively. They use a variety of tools and investigate materials as they join enthusiastically in messy play. They learn to work together in different situations, for instance, when decorating their hats or organising their own 'picnic'. Staff are knowledgeable about individual children's progress and plan for what they need to learn next in most areas. They ensure all children typically feel included at an appropriate level of learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well settled and very content. Staff spend time with new children to help them develop a sense of belonging. At intervals during the day, staff introduce different resources to broaden the experiences on offer. Children show great interest, for example, as they excitedly investigate a collection of musical instruments. Staff are flexible in their use of space and different age groups mixing together help children develop good social skills as they play together. Children's behaviour is very good. They learn to reflect on their actions and make amends if necessary. Staff encourage children to learn about the importance of healthy lifestyles through the provision of tasty, nutritious meals and regular opportunities for outdoor play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning, given their individual starting points. They become active, independent learners as they explore in a stimulating environment. They make close friends and enjoy a real sense of community. Older children benefit from extra focused activities that develop key early skills in preparation for school.
