p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager implements stringent recruitment procedures to ensure that staff are thoroughly checked and vetted. She conducts regular supervision meetings to monitor staff's performance and provide support and guidance. Staff are trained well in child protection matters and know how to report any concerns about children's welfare. Thorough risk assessments ensure that any potential hazards are identified and minimised. Staff are provided with good opportunities to develop professionally. For example, they often complete additional training and engage in webinars. The well-qualified manager observes staff closely and provides critical feedback to help strengthen their good knowledge, skills and practice further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The qualified and experienced staff interact with children well to guide and extend their learning. They introduce new vocabulary and encourage children to use descriptive language. For example, staff help children to talk about the texture, appearance and smell of the natural objects that they found on a walk. They ask a good range of questions to help children to share their thoughts and learn about the natural world. Children have a wonderful time making marks on the floor with chalk as they lie on a low-level swing. They slowly manoeuvre the swing in different directions and clearly enjoy the sensory experience. Staff challenge children to order items by size, count and identify numerals to enhance their developing mathematical skills. They make accurate observations and assessments and use their findings to successfully plan for children's next stages in learning. The manager works closely with staff to monitor children's progress. She uses

information obtained from group tracking systems to plan interventions and close any gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children benefit from fresh air and exercise during daily trips to the local parks. Staff organise invigorating indoor games to help children to practise physical skills. For example, children excitedly hop, skip and jump as they participate in an organised game of hopscotch. They follow good hygiene routines and are provided with nutritious meals to promote healthy lifestyles effectively.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points. They excitedly follow their own interests and make decisions about their play. Children join in with familiar songs and listen attentively as staff read stories. They recognise numerals and spontaneously count. Children are motivated learners who are developing key skills in readiness for future learning.
