Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff are fully aware about child protection issues and how to deal with any that occur. The recruitment system is effective. The manager ensures that all staff are suitable to work with children and go through a quality induction process. Since the last inspection, the manager and staff have addressed all actions and recommendations. They have developed systems to enable them to reflect well on the quality of the provision. The manager values the views of staff, other professionals, parents and children in identifying areas for improvement. The manager supports staff in their professional development, for example, through training and regular individual meetings. This has a positive impact on the quality of their practice and on children's learning. For example, after attending one of the courses, staff learnt to use different ways of developing children's communication and language skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff complete regular observations and assessments of children's achievements, which enable them to monitor their progress effectively. They promptly identify any gaps in children's learning and development, and plan accordingly to help them close those gaps. Children enjoy using their imagination with the variety of toys and resources available. For example, children build in a construction area, pretend to cook in a home corner or play at being a doctor with their favourite toy. Staff skilfully follow children's play and spontaneous interests to extend their experiences. For example, staff develop children's interest in pretend treasure by providing resources to create their own 'treasure' maps.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The key-person system is effective. All children are settled and they build good relationships with their key-persons. Children are happy and thrive in this safe setting. The manager and staff conduct thorough risk assessments daily to keep all environments safe. They always supervise children, locate themselves well and meet ratio requirements. There is always appropriately qualified staff to deal with any accidents, if required. Children follow good hygiene routines and have healthy snacks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are well prepared for school and their next stage in learning. For example, they confidently count, use numbers and mathematical language in their play. Children become independent learners. For example, they freely move around and make own choices in their play, confidently dress themselves, and ask for help if needed. Children learn to concentrate and gain necessary social skills to help them in their future learning.
