This provision is good

 Children form good relationships with staff and firm friendships with each other. They are happy and settle quickly into their play. Staff display resources attractively, capturing children's interest and supporting their learning.  Overall, staff work well with parents, gathering information and using this to plan effectively from the start. Good communication with staff ensures that parents are fully aware of their child's progress and achievements.  Staff meet younger children's personal care needs well. Older children develop independence, such as when using the bathroom, and all children learn the importance of washing their hands at appropriate times throughout the day.  Staff work very well together and strive to continually provide high-quality care. They are enthusiastic with regard to their ongoing professional development and endeavour to do their best for the children.  Children's safety is a priority. Staff supervise children effectively and encourage their

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff's knowledge of the various signs of harm and neglect is secure. They are fully aware of their responsibilities in protecting children. Staff engage in professional development and share their new found knowledge and ideas with the wider team. Systems for monitoring practice are good. The manager undertakes regular meetings and appraisals, and uses peer observations to enhance staff's practice even further. The manager and staff continually reflect on the quality of practice, identifying particular strengths in the provision and areas for development. They actively seek parents' views and feed this into the evaluation process. Parents are happy with the service and speak favourably of the care staff provide and the activities their children enjoy.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Overall, staff provide enjoyable learning opportunities for children based on their interests and individual learning needs. Children enjoy being creative with different materials. They make their own observational drawings of poppies while learning about people who help us. Staff encourage children to build the strength of their small-muscle skills. For example, they complete various exercises, such as patting, prodding and manipulating dough between their hands and fingers. Children see print in their environment and follow recipe cards, such as during cooking activities with the support of staff. For example, they carefully mix icing sugar with water and dip breadsticks in the mixture, while sprinkling them with different coloured sprinkles to make breadstick fireworks. Children confidently identify the day of the week, the date and weather. They count how many children are present and how many chairs, cups and plates they will need at snack time to ensure

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enthusiastically prepare for playing outside. They learn to dress themselves, putting their coats on and seeking support from staff where needed. Children enjoy being active. They manoeuvre wheeled toys around the outdoor play area and develop confidence climbing on large equipment. Children are sociable individuals engaging with staff and each other at snack time. They learn about foods that are good for their bodies and staff support parents in providing healthy packed lunches. Children are learning how to take turns and share the toys. They instigate using sand timers to ensure they have a turn with popular resources. Staff support children's self-esteem and confidence. They praise achievements and recognise children's efforts and hard work.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress. They learn the skills that support future learning in readiness for the move on to school. Children build relationships with other children and make choices about the toys they play with. They enjoy recreating familiar experiences, such as making food in the role-play area and pretending to vacuum up the rice from the sensory play.
