Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff keep their knowledge up to date through training and are confident about their individual responsibilities to keep children safe and protected from harm. The management team implements clear policies and procedures to guide staff. Staff are fully aware of what to do should they have any concerns about children's welfare. The management team uses thorough procedures to ensure the safe recruitment and ongoing suitability of staff. The manager monitors staff performance effectively. She provides opportunities for staff to reflect on their practice and identify how they can improve further. Staff access training courses to help extend their knowledge and acquire new skills to improve outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff get to know the children and have a good awareness of their individual needs. Children actively explore their surroundings, choosing what they would like to do next. For example, they enthusiastically use the role-play home areas. Staff get down to the children's level and join in with their play. Children enjoy investigating how things feel. For instance, they eagerly experiment with water and paint. Staff interact purposefully. They make suggestions and provide support when required. Staff introduce mathematical language as children play. Babies are inquisitive and have ample space to move around safely and practise their physical skills. Children have opportunities to take part in a variety of events and celebrations, giving them a wider understanding of the world.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff ensure that settling-in procedures for children are effective. They find out about young children's home routines to provide consistency of care. Children build secure emotional attachments with staff who are responsive to their individual needs. Parents hold staff in high regard and are happy with the service provided. Staff help to prepare children well for their move from one room to the next. For example, they work closely with parents and provide opportunities for children to become familiar with the new environment. Staff work closely and are aware of children's allergies, dietary and medical needs. They support children to follow good hygiene routines. Children experience sociable snack and mealtimes as they sit alongside their peers. Staff support children to pour their own drink and clear away their plate when they have finished eating.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop a good foundation for future learning in readiness for starting school. They make friends and build relationships. Children develop their concentration as they learn to listen to adults and respond to instructions. They have opportunities to count and identify their name, and enjoy familiar songs during group activities. Children become more independent, for example, they collect their coats and boots before going outside. They readily go to staff for support when necessary.
