Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and managers support staff well to understand safeguarding procedures and to keep their knowledge and understanding up to date. For example, staff know how to identify children who may be at risk of harm from extreme behaviours and views. Leaders and managers follow robust procedures to assess the suitability of staff and they support staff well to understand their roles and responsibilities. Staff have suitable qualifications and appropriate training to help them provide good- quality care and play experiences. Leaders and managers monitor staff carefully. They work closely with staff to evaluate and develop their skills, such as reviewing routines to help sessions run smoothly. Staff work well with parents and the on-site school to share appropriate information about children to support their individual needs effectively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support children's play successfully. They plan exciting activities and use good- quality interactions that motivate and engage children effectively. For example, staff demonstrate and explain new ideas as children enjoy exploring science experiments. Staff treat children equally and invite them to join in with activities that interest them. They encourage children's confidence and give them opportunities to make choices. Staff engage children well in discussions and they listen carefully to their responses to build on their ideas and views. Key persons have a good understanding of children's needs and work closely with their parents and teachers to support their development. They provide effective support for children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities to help them achieve their potential.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming and lively environment where children feel secure, are good natured and respond well to staff. They encourage good friendships between children and they support less confident children to become more sociable. Staff respond to any issues with behaviour successfully. For example, they provide positive guidance and distraction to help children manage their feelings effectively. Staff help children to respect people who are different from themselves and to develop a positive approach to diversity. They provide opportunities for children to enjoy physical exercise to support their health and well-being.
