p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding procedures are regularly reviewed and shared with staff. Managers keep staff regularly updated about any changes to legislation. All staff demonstrate a good knowledge of what to do if they have concerns about a child's welfare. Managers conduct risk assessments and take action to reduce risks and ensure that the premises are safe for children. Safeguarding is effective. The programmes for early literacy and physical development have been developed significantly since the last inspection. Managers monitor and track all children's progress to identify and close any gaps in their learning and development and to support staff with their assessment procedures.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff model language well and encourage children to communicate their feelings and thoughts throughout activities, to develop their language skills. Opportunities to make marks, form letters and see words are encouraged during play in all rooms. Staff support children who have special educational needs effectively. For example, they work in partnership with other professionals and support children to communicate in different ways. Staff plan well for children of all ages to focus on different areas of learning. For example, children enjoy cookery in one room as they mix ingredients and they discuss where eggs come from. Others participate in a multi-sports session in the garden area, which encourages their mathematics skills and physical development. Staff offer learning experiences which celebrate the culture and diversity of the group. For example, children learn about how people celebrate Diwali and they make poppies for Remembrance Day.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are highly skilled at supporting children to form secure relationships. For example, staff provide excellent care for children who need extra support with exploring their emotions and developing social skills. Staff champion good behaviour and motivate children to demonstrate high levels of cooperation and respect for one another. They support children to learn how to keep themselves safe and healthy in a highly engaging way. For example, children show excellent levels of attention as they play a game to select personal items such as toothpaste and flannels. They then discuss with staff in detail what these are used for and why they are important.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children learn to recognise their names, write letters and explore letter sounds. Babies develop their physical skills well; for example, as they explore different materials and objects, use a slide and shake instruments. Children learn about the world around them as they enjoy gardening activities and going on trips to the local park and library. All children are well prepared for their future learning.
