Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Recruitment and vetting procedures are thorough and ensure that staff are suitable for their role. The premises are secure and daily safety checks are conducted to ensure that children have a safe place to play. Staff are trained well in child protection procedures and know how to respond to concerns about children's welfare. The accomplished manager works closely with staff to evaluate practice and drive continued improvement. She obtains feedback from parents and invites children to express their opinions through group discussions. This helps her to plan improvements that meet the needs of children and their families. Staff have developed strong links with the on-site school and other local providers. They exchange relevant information to promote continuity in children's care and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are motivated and eager to join in with activities. They listen attentively to stories and excitedly talk about the pictures. Staff are enthusiastic and interact well to extend children's learning. They help children to count and identify shapes and talk about size to promote their mathematical skills. Children play imaginatively and pretend to make biscuits using soil. They become engrossed in activities and persevere as they fill and empty containers. Staff engage children in singing sessions and energetically demonstrate actions. They encourage children to practise balancing skills outdoors and help them to draw and make marks on a large scale. Staff know children well and work closely with parents to build a picture of each child's needs. They use careful observations and assessments to plan for children's ongoing learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Settling-in arrangements are tailored to individual children's needs and support them to feel safe and secure. Children have strong bonds with staff and are relaxed, happy and confident. Staff engage children in turn-taking activities and support them to play cooperatively with others. Consequently, children behave very well. Children's good health and physical well-being are successfully promoted. Children have unrestricted access to a stimulating outdoor area, where they run and climb. Staff help children to develop good personal care skills, both at home and in the setting. For example, they send home a travelling bear and invite parents to photograph children as they show the bear how they clean their teeth.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in their learning and development. They are self-assured and are developing good self-care skills. Children join in with stories and songs. They anticipate key phrases and fill in missing words. Children solve problems independently and methodically try different keys until they find the correct one to open a lock. They handle a wide range of one-handed tools and are developing good physical skills. Children have a positive approach to learning and are prepared well for their eventual move on to school.
