p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of how to protect children and are confident with the procedures to follow should they have concerns about children's welfare. Good supervision arrangements and induction procedures ensure that staff are confident in their roles and responsibilities. Staff feel well supported with their professional development. Regular training is available for all staff. This helps to build staff's knowledge and skills and improve outcomes for children. The manager effectively monitors children's progress to ensure that any gaps in learning are identified and acted upon. Self-evaluation involves children, staff and parents and helps to identify further areas for development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather important information from parents when children are new to the pre-school. They build on this with their own observations and use this information to plan relevant activities that match children's current needs and interests. Staff are enthusiastic in their approach and encourage children to explore and investigate. For example, during a walk in the local environment, children are encouraged to look out for different wildlife and modes of transport and record what they find on their clip charts. Children excitedly exclaim as they hear approaching trains and happily wave as they go past. Children sit happily as they listen to well-read stories. They learn to recognise letters and the sounds they represent. Children giggle as they run to stand on the alphabet mat that matches the sound that the staff are sounding out.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children learn to keep themselves safe. They talk to them about road safety when out and about. Children learn to be independent in their self-care, such as managing to put on their own coats and boots before going outside. Children's physical skills are promoted well. They show great delight as they run back down the hill they have just climbed. Staff provide good opportunities for children to learn about healthy eating and offer a suitable range of snacks that meets children's individual dietary needs.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident learners who are able to make choices in their play. They readily engage in conversations with their friends and staff. Children use their imagination as they dress up as different characters in the role-play area. They learn to recognise their names in print and enjoy making marks with paints and various writing materials. All children, including those who are in receipt of funding, make good progress from their starting points. They are gaining the necessary skills to support them with their move on to school.
