p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good awareness of the procedures in place to identify risks to children and know how to protect them from harm. Daily risk assessments of the environment help to ensure that any hazards to children are removed. Systems for safe recruitment are clear and ongoing and staff suitability checks are completed. Good monitoring of the children's progress enables any gaps in children's achievements to be identified quickly and efficiently. Staff's professional development is promoted well through regular appraisals and meetings. Staff work well with other professionals and share their expertise to promote consistency in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff complete regular and accurate assessments of children's achievements and plan effectively to support children towards their next steps of learning. Children develop an understanding of the world as they learn. For example, they enjoy planting their own flowers and learning what they will need to help their flower to grow. They enjoy listening to stories and singing songs, which helps to promote their language and early literacy skills. Staff engage effectively with children to extend their learning. For example, staff encourage children to build higher towers with bricks and count how many they can balance. Toddlers enjoy moving their bodies to music and exploring toys that make sounds and light up.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Key persons are attentive to children and form close relationships with them. Toddlers receive lots of cuddles, helping them to feel safe and secure. Staff manage children's behaviour effectively and use successful methods to encourage children to be kind to each other and look after the toys. Children enjoy freshly prepared meals and mealtimes are social occasions. Staff show children how to use their knives safely, which helps children to learn the skills to keep themselves safe and to develop their self-help skills. All children benefit from opportunities to play with children of different ages. Older children are caring to the younger children and support them in their play.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress across all areas of learning. They are confident and independent learners. They can follow staff's instruction and understand daily routines. Children learn to count and identify shapes and colours. Children are well prepared for their future learning and gain the key skills needed for their eventual move to school.
