p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are aware of the appropriate authorities to contact if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The manager has worked hard since the last inspection and has developed regular action plans to ensure improvements have been targeted to improve the service the crèche offers. Staff are supported through regular supervision meetings, observations of teaching and training opportunities. The manager undertakes regular monitoring to constantly improve outcomes for children. For example, she identified that children needed further support in their communication and language so sourced specialist training for staff to develop their skills and knowledge. Children are supported well through times of change. Information about children's leaning needs are shared with staff from school. This helps to support children as they prepare for the next stage in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan activities to support children's next steps in learning. They have a good understanding of children's development needs and evaluate their practice regularly. For example, room layouts have recently been changed so that children have more floor space to play, as staff noticed they enjoy using construction blocks on the floor. Staff sit alongside children as they play, which invites them to learn and explore. Children's communication and language is supported well. For example, staff provide a running commentary for babies, sing familiar rhymes with toddlers and read stories to older children as they request their favourite book. Staff observe children regularly and track their progress so they can identify potential gaps in learning. Overall, good partnerships with parents are in place and information is shared through daily verbal discussion.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The creche has a friendly and welcoming environment. Children and their families are warmly greeted by staff as they arrive. Staff nurture children's needs well. Children are quickly soothed if they become unsettled or restless. Children listen carefully to staff and enjoy taking part in routines. For example, they join in with tidy-up time and washing their hands for lunch. Children start to understand about healthy lifestyles. For example, they access fresh air in the outdoor area every day and eat a range of healthy snacks. Children gain an understanding of the wider world. For example, they look at photographs from buildings around the world in the construction area and learn about festivals from other cultures, such as Chinese New Year.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children progress well from their individual starting points. They are active learners who initiate their own play and make their needs known. They engage well with other children and enjoy making relationships. Children are well prepared for their future learning, including the move on to school.
