Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff review their training regularly to maintain a good knowledge of child protection issues. They know the correct procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's well-being. Staff make regular checks to ensure the premises is safe and supervise children well. The manager monitors the overall progress of children and the general quality of practice. For example, she holds regular team meetings and supervision sessions with staff. All staff monitor individual children's progress to ensure they receive the support they need. Staff keep parents informed of their child's care and learning and provide regular reports of their progress. They share ideas to continue supporting children's learning at home. The manager actively encourages links with other providers, such as schools, to support and complement children's ongoing learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy various craft and role play activities to develop their creativity. They confidently lead their own play and construct imaginative play ideas with close support from staff. For example, they pretend to drive buses, sell bus tickets and discuss the journey together. Staff encourage children's thinking skills and provide differing levels of appropriate challenge. For example, children show good concentration and focus when solving puzzles. Staff provide a good level of support and include all children. Children thoroughly enjoy group games. For example, they match words and pictures during a shopping game. Older children join in with younger children's play. For example, they read books together and talk about the importance of equality and treating people with kindness.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children display high levels of self-confidence and positive social skills. Staff help children to celebrate success and take pride in their achievements. For instance, they use praise and award certificates to help to raise their confidence. Staff encourage children's individual choices in their daily activities, such as play and meal choices. Staff skilfully teach children the importance of keeping themselves safe. For example, first-aid training aimed at children helps their understanding of safety and managing small risks. Children thoroughly enjoy daily outdoor play, such as ball games and imaginary play. They competently navigate spaces using scooters and small bicycles.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and develop the skills they need for their next stages in learning, such as school. They develop independence, confidence and learn to play in larger groups. Children enjoy making marks using a variety of resources, including paint, crayons and chalks. For example, children write their names and spell simple words with skill. Some children draw colourful pictures on the patio using chalks. They show good concentration during activities and positive attitudes to learning.
