Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are confident in the recording and referral process if they have any concerns regarding children's welfare. Staff are recruited safely and their ongoing suitability is regularly assessed. Training courses are sourced and staff are enthusiastic about their new-found learning, such as training to support children who have special educational needs. The manager works successfully with staff to evaluate daily practice and to make changes so that they continue to develop this. Staff work well with parents and other childcare providers to help ensure that children's care is consistent and the promotion of their development is not interrupted as they move between settings.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide babies and children with a wide range of challenging and enjoyable learning experiences. Children learn about books; they sit and listen intently to the lively and interactive storytelling sessions. For example, staff use these interests as inspiration for planning a bear hunt in the garden linked to a favourite story. Children are led by highly enthusiastic staff who take children on an exciting adventure as they discover caves and brave the storms. Staff have a good knowledge of their key children and are confident to talk about their development. The assessments that staff make are accurate and help to identify children's next steps in development. Children relish expressing themselves through their artwork. For example, staff encourage children to observe and talk about daffodils and they use various vegetables rolled in paint to create vibrant patterns.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

The vibrant and extremely welcoming learning environment is of high quality, illustrated throughout with beautiful displays of children's work and helpful information for parents. Children of all ages eagerly access the extremely exciting outdoor play area where they have many opportunities to further their learning and participate in physical activities. Children learn to respect, tolerate and consider each other as they play. Children's superb behaviour is expertly guided by highly skilful staff who know how to nurture children's personal, social and emotional well-being. Staff develop extremely strong emotional attachments with children that are based on mutual respect. The atmosphere is very positive, relaxed and fun. Children are settled and know that staff are there to support and guide them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are eager to take part and fully engage in all learning activities. All children, including those who receive funded education, make good progress from their starting points. Children are enthusiastic and develop confidence in their own abilities. They successfully acquire the skills needed to move on to the next stage of their learning.
