This provision is good

 Children are happy and settle back into the setting well after the winter holidays. Staff are caring and form warm relationships with children. They are sensitive to children's needs and support their emotional well-being effectively.  Staff assess children's abilities successfully and know their key children well. They observe children regularly and monitor their progress effectively to help swiftly recognise and address any gaps in their learning.  Children make good progress and develop the skills needed for their future learning. They enjoy listening to staff reading books and develop their attention skills well. Children keenly join in with stories and talk about the pictures, helping them develop good early reading and communication skills.  The manager reflects on the setting's practice well, recognising its strengths and areas to develop.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager understands her responsibility to protect children and implements effective policies and procedures to support their welfare. Staff know how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of harm. The manager evaluates the quality of staff's teaching practice well, reflects effectively and supports staff to help maintain good outcomes for children. She offers good opportunities for staff to develop their skills, such as through regular training sessions and staff meetings. The manager and staff communicate effectively with other agencies that work with children to help maintain consistency in their care and learning experiences.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children play confidently in a safe, welcoming environment. Staff support children well as they play. For instance, staff demonstrate how to use resources to help children learn to use them. They join in to help support children's involvement. Children concentrate and focus well. They enjoy sensory experiences, such as exploring modelling material. They learn how to mould, create and to name the things they are using, developing their communication and physical skills successfully. Staff work effectively with parents. For instance, they share information about children's progress with them. Furthermore, they involve parents well in children's learning, such as by providing activities for them to do at home, to help support children's development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. Staff are consistent in their approach to managing behaviour. For instance, they act as good role models and praise good behaviour, helping children to understand what is and is not acceptable. Children eat nutritious foods, are active and enjoy using equipment. For example, they use apparatus outside, including a climbing frame, to help develop their balance and physical skills. Staff regularly assess risks in all areas that children use to identify and remove any hazards. Staff support children well to develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For instance, they teach them to wash their hands before they eat.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points and develop skills that support their next stage of learning. Older children interact and communicate confidently. Babies babble happily while they play and toddlers learn to use words in context. Children develop good social skills, share well and interact with others kindly. Older children develop good mathematical skills, such as learning to use words to describe the size of toys.
