Staff are supported well during supervision meetings to help them assess and improve their professional practice. Staff deployment is effective and they work well together to ensure they supervise children consistently. There are effective systems in place for monitoring teaching and learning.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager and staff carry out regular checks on the progress that both individual and different groups of children make. Staff interact with and support children's communication and language development well. They make effective use of children's play to encourage their speaking and listening skills. Children enjoy listening to stories and they join in confidently with the actions to songs and rhymes. Their imaginations are well supported as they delight in opportunities to wear butterfly masks, use tools and take part in construction role play.
