p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider has effective systems for recruitment, induction and training of staff to ensure their ongoing suitability. Staff speak passionately about training that supports them in attaining new skills, such as forest school activities. They state that this new knowledge has enabled them to help children who may be less confident than others to become more self-assured as they take part in such activities. Other staff comment confidently on how they receive high levels of support from the provider and manager when they take on new, more-challenging roles. Partnerships with parents are positive. Parents highlight, for example, that they are provided with good-quality information about their children's achievements. Parents state that staff encourage children learning English as an additional language to develop good levels of communication. Safeguarding is effective. Staff understand how to protect the children they care for and demonstrate a good awareness

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well. They plan with confidence to enable children to be interested in their learning. Staff interact with children purposefully. They have high expectations for children to achieve and be eager to learn. Staff are proactive in helping children to be aware of different festivals and the wider world. They encourage children to recall what they already know when they start new activities, to secure their listening and communication skills. For example, during a craft activity when children paint scarecrows, staff help children to remind each other about harvest and children speak with interest about 'wheat' and 'barley' or the farmer using a 'combine harvester' and 'tractor'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a happy, stimulating environment where children show emotional security in their care. Staff help children to be aware of each other's similarities and differences and embed the nursery's morals to help children to be 'kind, happy, confident, curious and resilient'. Children confidently speak in small groups, for example, telling each other what they have had for a snack. They enjoy healthy meals which, alongside staff encouraging effective self-care skills, help children to understand healthy lifestyles and routines.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy their time at nursery. Babies explore with curiosity. For example, they experiment with colours, sounds and textures in the sensory room which offers a safe haven to develop their physical skills and awareness. Older children enjoy water play and develop independence, for instance, as they wash their dolls and dolls' clothes. They learn new skills such as putting on a nappy and changing clothes. Children develop their language as they tell their friends 'all clean' and invent and extend their games, for example, by organising a 'nappy bin'. All children show readiness for the next stages of their learning. Inspection report: Mns Kids Ltd T/as Evolution Childcare @ Turville School, 21 September 2017 4 of 5
