This provision is good

 The management team is resilient and demonstrates a good understanding of its role and responsibilities. It is committed to improving all aspects of the provision to continually improve the outcomes for children.  Children follow good hygiene routines, including the youngest children in the provision. They enjoy healthy snacks and meals which help promote their good health.  Parents and staff work effectively in partnership. Parents are encouraged to contribute what they know about their children's learning and experience from the start. This helps to meet the needs of the children effectively. Staff regularly share information about children's progress with parents, who are extremely happy with the provision.  Children are well prepared for their move on to their next stage in learning, such as school. Children are shown photographs of the school they are going to attend and introduced to teachers. Staff provide appropriate information to schools to help them

prepare for children's individual needs.  The management team and staff have effective partnerships with external agencies and other professionals, which helps them to meet children's individual requirements. This helps children, including those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, to make good progress.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager has a good understanding of evaluating the provision and has already put new systems in place to monitor staff's practice more precisely. For example, staff complete peer-on-peer observations to identify areas that can be developed. The manager provides professional development opportunities to enhance staff's skills. For example, leadership training to help room leaders to manage their staff more effectively. Parents are happy and comment on the information they receive about their children's learning and development. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of safeguarding procedures. They are aware of their responsibility to inform the manager of any changes that could make them unsuitable to work with children, including changes in their health. There is a secure recruitment process to ensure staff are suitable and qualified for their role. The manager monitors the progress different groups of children

make to identify any gaps and ensure good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Pre-school children learn how to count and recognise numbers. For example, when they make play dough they count the cups of flours they need to add. Babies explore mark making using chalk and flour. Staff meet their emotional needs and provide frequent cuddles. Staff assess children regularly using their observations and identifying their next steps in learning. Toddlers enjoy playing in the home corner, making food and ironing clothes. They also enjoy sand play, filling up containers and transferring objects. They use technology during role play as they pretend to talk to their parents on phones.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Parents are actively involved in the settling-in procedures and staff adapt to the children's needs, such as extending this period. Staff build close relationships with children. They know them well and their likes and dislikes. Staff follow good hygiene procedures and encourage children to imitate them. Children are well supported with their physical development and have access to the outdoors daily. They enjoy ride-on toys and counting their jumps and steps. They also have outings into the community to help learn about the world around them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from when they start at the setting, including children who have SEN and/or disabilities. They develop good physical skills, such as balancing and coordinating their body. Children gain mathematical and social skills, help one another and share resources. They learn how and when to ask for support. Children gain important skills they need for their next move in education.
