This provision is good

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are trained in child protection and understand how to keep children safe from harm. Secure entry systems contribute further to the safe environment for children. Staff receive support to understand their roles, such as through regular, individual and weekly team meetings. This helps them to support good outcomes for children. The manager monitors how well individual and different groups of children achieve across all areas of learning. Strong partnerships with local childminders, nurseries and schools help to maintain consistency and continuity for children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The qualified and experienced staff use their good knowledge of how young children learn to provide a wide range of purposeful activities. Staff motivate children to learn. For example, children use recycled resources, including milk crates and large reels, in very imaginative ways as they work together to build a supermarket. Children display good memory recall and act out familiar roles with enthusiasm. Staff support children's understanding of the world and encourage them to talk about the weather they have experienced outdoors. For example, boys use well-constructed sentences as they talk about the rain clouds and describe how a rainbow is formed. Staff create displays and provide a wide range of resources that reflects differences in people and communities. This helps to support children's growing understanding of diversity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide children with a caring and welcoming environment. They effectively organise play resources to promote children's independent play. Children are happy and display high levels of independence. For example, they pour their own milk from the jug and butter their own crackers during snack time. Young children fasten their own coats when choosing to play outdoors. Staff offer just enough support to help them achieve success. Children build warm relationships with staff and develop a sense of belonging. Their emotional well-being is strong. Staff are very good role models and provide specific praise when children are kind and polite. Children's behaviour is good.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning. Children's literacy skills are developing well. Older children write their own name and those of their family members. Children enthusiastically identify unusual objects that start with the letter sound of the week. For example, vase, violin and volcano. Young children display good attention when listening to familiar stories and predict what will happen next. All children are developing the dispositions and attitudes they need for the future, including being ready for school.
