Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff ensure the environment is interesting and organised well. Children can freely select activities for themselves and follow their own interests and ideas. Staff observe children, identify their next steps for learning and plan a range of activities to help build on their learning. Children explore using their senses and enjoy scooping, tipping and pouring as they play with the cornflour. Staff stay close by to the children and they interact extremely well with them. Children develop their own creative ideas as they experiment with paint and sand. They enjoy emptying and filling containers and staff skilfully introduce a wide range of resources to ignite children's curiosity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle quickly in this warm, caring environment. Staff encourage children to adopt healthy lifestyles. For example, children are reminded to get tissues to wipe their noses and regularly wash their hands. They enjoy nutritious snacks and staff encourage parents to bring in healthy lunchboxes. Children's independence is fostered well. They are encouraged to put their own coats on when it is time to play outdoors, they make choices in their play and take on responsibilities of tidying up. Children have good opportunities to develop their physical skills. They enjoy playing outdoors and are encouraged to use a range of equipment safely. Staff are good role models. They value and respect every child and help them to learn expectations and boundaries. Children are developing their social skills as they play together and are beginning to gain an understanding of sharing.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their starting points and any gaps in learning are beginning to close. Children are becoming confident, capable learners and are gaining the skills that will help to prepare them for nursery school. Children are beginning to focus their attention for longer periods of time and they enjoy sitting with staff to listen to stories and sing songs. Children understand daily routines and they follow staff's instructions well. They are beginning to count and recognise shapes. Children confidently make choices and imaginatively develop their ideas for play.
