p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The management team reviews the quality of the provision, staff performance and their professional development well, to drive improvement. Staff successfully use the skills gained from training to improve children's experiences. For example, they use what they learn to encourage children's communication and language skills and to monitor their progress effectively. Safeguarding is effective. The management team effectively supports staff knowledge regarding current legislation and safeguarding requirements. There are safe procedures to recruit staff, and check their suitability and understanding of their roles and responsibilities. The management team and staff are clear on the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. They adhere to effective staffing ratios and supervise children well at all times. Risk assessment of all areas used by children is well established and helps to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan and provide a good range of learning experiences. Children in the toddler room enjoy singing and joining in with actions with good staff support that develops their listening and movement skills very well. Younger children enjoy making marks on a chalkboard with effective support from staff to encourage their early writing skills. Staff encourage children to communicate well, particularly the babies. They acknowledge children's gestures and add words to support their language skills effectively. Staff encourage older children to think and express their ideas. They observe children well, assess their progress and plan accurate next steps in their learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming, safe and secure environment. They encourage children to participate in physical play well. For example, they join children in their running games and encourage them to reach for toys, climb and negotiate different play equipment. Staff skilfully discuss rules and boundaries with the children to help them understand adult expectations and manage their own feelings. They help children to develop a good awareness of healthy lifestyles and to enjoy a balanced diet. Children learn to keep safe; for example, as they tidy up to avoid trips and falls. Most staff hold paediatric first-aid certificates. They deal with accidents well, make records and promptly inform parents.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and gain the skills they need to prepare them well for the next stages in their learning. They make marks for different purposes and communicate their needs well. Children are very willing to try new things and they show great pride in their achievements. They develop good skills in solving problems and their mathematical abilities. Children are well prepared for starting school.
