This provision is good

 Staff offer a welcoming and nurturing learning environment. Children settle well, make friends and play happily. They are confident to ask for help whenever needed. Their behaviour is good.  Staff attend well to babies and help them play with others. Babies have plenty of space to crawl, walk and explore toys and resources safely. They smile, giggle happily, and develop their language and physical skills well.  Leaders and staff check children's progress to identify any who are falling behind in their learning. Staff provide extra support to help close any gaps. All children make good progress in relation to their different starting points.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider conducts the required vetting checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with children. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding practices and are clear about the correct procedures to follow to protect children. For example, they undertake regular and rigorous checks on outings, the premises and resources to keep children safe and secure. Leaders observe staff regularly and give them specific feedback to help them improve the quality of their practice. Staff appreciate the good support they receive from leaders. Staff attend courses to strengthen their skills and share good practice with their colleagues to benefit children's learning. Leaders act on the views of staff, parents, children and outside professionals to continually provide good care and learning for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan and provide interesting experiences that follow children's interests and stimulate their learning and development. Children have positive attitudes to learning. They use their creativity well, for example, they make colourful paintings and collages of snowy landscapes. They blow bubbles and talk about their colours and movement. Children play different musical instruments and sing and dance to music. They love books, talk about their favourite pictures and consider the views of others. Staff keep parents fully informed about their children's learning and well-being. Parents contribute well to the next steps staff plan for their children's learning. Parents speak positively about the good care their children receive, and they value the good progress they make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children understand their routines and expectations. Children learn to share resources fairly and take turns. They try many activities and use different materials to explore and broaden their understanding of the wider world and the different people in their communities. Children know about the benefits of eating nutritious meals and the importance of personal hygiene. For instance, they know that fruits are good for them and that water helps them keep well. Children enjoy active play outdoors and make visits to places of interest to enhance their learning.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in their learning close rapidly. Babies learn new words. Children help tidy up resources, wear their coats before they go outside to play and look after their belongings. They listen attentively and respond well to instructions. Older children count objects, recognise numerals and develop good mathematical skills to solve problems. They recognise some letters and the sounds they represent, and write their names correctly and independently.
