p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Recruitment and vetting processes are robust. Managers and staff have a clear understanding of the procedures to follow if they have any welfare concerns. They supervise children well to help ensure their health and safety. Managers monitor staff performance well, to maintain the quality of teaching and children's outcomes. Staff regularly attend training and share good practice with other colleagues. For instance, they use their knowledge and skills from training to provide good opportunities to help children learn about other cultures and experience text and numbers in the learning environment. Effective partnerships with external agencies help staff to provide specific support for children who need extra help. Staff work well with other providers to help ensure continuity and progression in children's learning. Managers consider the views of staff, parents and outside professionals to help maintain their good

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use observations and assessment well to continually plan stimulating activities to support children's learning and development. This information, along with details they receive from parents about their children's learning, allows staff to monitor children's progress effectively. Staff guide children's learning well through play. Children are well motivated to learn. For example, they eagerly mix cornflour with water and observe how ingredients change when they combine. Babies explore the sounds pop-up toys and musical instruments make. Staff introduce children to songs and stories. Children learn new rhymes and keenly talk about their favourite pictures.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. They support their social and emotional skills to good effect and offer them praise and reassurance as they learn new skills. Children learn to share toys, take turns fairly and show consideration to others. Staff help children adopt healthy lifestyles. Children know that fruit and water are good for them. They enjoy nutritious meals cooked on the premises and learn to serve themselves. Children develop a good understanding of the importance of personal hygiene.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in their learning are closing. Babies learn new words and socialise well with others. Children listen carefully and respond well to instructions. Older children can count, sort and match objects. They use good mathematical language, such as 'more' or 'less'. Children are confident to ask for help. They love playing in the water area, exploring how water flows through funnels.
