This provision is good

 Children enjoy a wide variety of activities that supports their learning from school. Staff observe children as they play.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are secure in their knowledge of the indicators of abuse and neglect. They understand their role and responsibility in protecting children in their care, and the procedures they should follow to raise a concern about a child. Robust procedures are in place for the safe recruitment of staff. All required suitability checks are completed. Staff undertake professional development opportunities to maintain their knowledge of good quality childcare. Regular appraisals are used to further support their ongoing practice. Security within the setting is good. Access to the setting is only via a member of staff. All visitors to the setting have their identification information checked and are not left unsupervised with the children. Staff assess all areas accessed by children to identify and minimise potential hazards. Staff reflect on their own practice and identify the key strengths within their provision, looking at ways they can

further enhance it. Parents and children speak very positively about the setting, the activities provided and the helpful and caring staff.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their knowledge of the children and their interests to plan a wide range of activities. They also take into account topics within school to extend children's learning further. Activities are attractively displayed and children settle quickly into their chosen activity. Children enjoy being creative. For example, they use boxes and recycled materials to build their own monsters. They use scissors to cut out the facial features of their creations and use tape to attach them. Children show great concentration and hand-to- eye coordination. They spend time carefully choosing small beads and threading them onto laces. Children explore different ways they can use paint. For example, they use oil, water and paint to make marble effect paintings. They talk about how the colours separate with the oil and how it floats enabling them to make their prints. Children's artwork is displayed for parents to see.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff build strong relationships with children and form close working relationships with parents from the start of their child's placement. They spend time talking to parents about their child's individual needs and ensure these are respected. Staff encourage children as they learn to negotiate through play. They praise children's good behaviour and acknowledge their efforts and achievements. Children are actively involved in activities and discussions that support their growing awareness of diversity and the wider world. For example, they learn about which animal in the Chinese calendar corresponds to the year they were born. They build their skills using chopsticks as they eat different foods. Children enjoy being physically active and spend time outdoors each day. They use a variety of equipment, such as different equipment that encourages their balancing skills, control and coordination as they move along wooden beams. Staff support their

understanding of the positive impact it has on their bodies. This is further supported through a wide variety of fresh foods that is provided each day for their snack. Individual dietary needs, preferences and any allergies are taken into account.
