learning. She understands her responsibility to notify Ofsted of significant events.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment for the children, which helps to support their curiosity to explore. They provide interesting opportunities for children to learn to make marks. For example, children make wheel tracks in foam with toy vehicles. Staff support children's communication and language development well. For example, young children learn to sign and older children learn to ask and answer questions. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language, benefit from these experiences. Staff sing alphabet songs to children, which help to support their early literacy skills. Staff motivate children's interest well to explore different materials, such as sand, water and rice. This helps them to build on their creativity.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children to develop a consistent understanding of right and wrong. They praise them when they follow rules and display expected behaviour. Children develop positive relationships with each other. For instance, they sign with their thumbs and say 'well done' to acknowledge other children's achievements. Staff deploy themselves well to meet individual children's needs effectively. For instance, they attend to children promptly in the event of an accident and provide appropriate first aid. Parents express positive views about the care and support that the key persons provide to their children. Staff encourage children to take age-appropriate responsibilities, such as laying out the place mats at snack time. This helps to support their sense of belonging.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Young children build on their independence. For example, they learn to put their shoes on the correct feet. They independently pour water into their cups at snack time, and they kindly pass the water jug to their friends. Older children learn to count confidently and to use numbers in their play. They learn to represent numbers with their fingers. Children develop skills that help them progress to the next stages in their learning.
