This provision is good

 The manager and staff continue to deliver the learning and development requirements of the early years foundation stage. This helps to ensure children's individual needs are fully met.  Staff have established strong links with the host primary school and other professionals. This creates a consistent and complementary approach to children's play opportunities.  Children's behaviour is good. Staff appropriately resolve any minor conflicts when they arise. They use frequent praise and encouragement to help children to feel valued and respected.  Staff create a homely and welcoming environment where children are happy and relaxed. This helps to effectively promote their emotional well-being.  All children concentrate well and show interest as they engage in a wide selection of age-appropriate activities. They confidently link their play to real-life experiences.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The majority of staff are qualified and attend relevant training based on their role and responsibilities. They are actively encouraged to continue their professional development. Generally, staff are supported by the manager as they participate in appraisals and regular meetings to discuss future practice. There are good procedures in place for recruitment and induction, so that new staff members fully understand the expectations. For example, new employees are mentored by an existing staff member who is experienced and skilled. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are fully aware of the child protection procedures to follow to safeguard children from harm. They understand their responsibilities to protect children who may be at risk of being exposed to extreme ideas. Children play in a safe and secure environment. Staff complete daily safety checklists to recognise and eliminate any potential hazards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have developed good relationships with parents. They encourage them to share information about their children's likes, dislikes and interests on entry to the setting. This enables children to settle quickly and form secure attachments and strong bonds with staff and their peers. Staff follow and extend children's interests well. This helps to support their future learning and enables them to make good progress. Staff get down to children's level and engage them in meaningful discussions. Children are challenged to extend their thinking and problem-solving skills. For instance, they work together to build dens using different-textured fabric and materials. Staff effectively promote children's understanding of the world. Children thoroughly enjoy using small-world resources and learn about different cultures, beliefs and traditions. They participate in imaginary play and make their own creations with playdough and paint. This helps to foster their

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children of all ages play cooperatively together. A buddy system is implemented and older children offer help and support to younger children when required. Staff encourage children to make their own choices and decisions. They are supported to take ownership in the setting and to take responsibility. Children are developing good independence skills. For example, they help to set the table for snack time and prepare their own wraps using a selection of nutritious fillings. Staff have a secure understanding of how to promote healthy lifestyles. They fully recognise the benefits of developing children's physical skills. In addition, staff talk to children about the importance of healthy eating and encourage them to follow effective hygiene practices. This helps children to gain an awareness of how to keep themselves healthy and safe. Children develop a good sense of belonging in their surroundings. They are encouraged by staff to be proud of their own achievements
