Staff supervise children well, minimise risks to them and ensure that the areas children play and learn in are secure.

regularly to set personal targets for their own improvement.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and understand how children learn and develop. They gather information from parents when children first start and together, with the manager, they regularly monitor children's progress. Children's assessments are shared with parents at parents' evenings. Observations of children at play are shared with parents using an electronic programme. Parents readily access this program and feel very involved in children's learning. Staff skilfully extend children's learning. For example, as children mix ingredients for baking, staff introduce mathematical language. Staff encourage children to use their small-muscle skills in preparation for writing. For example, children use water and paintbrushes to make marks on large pebbles. Staff respond quickly to children's wishes and encourage children to make choices in their play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children delight as they take part in physical exercise. They practise balancing and coordinating their movements as they take part in ballet. Babies develop their large- muscle skills, as they climb steps and use a small slide. All children access the outdoor area and play in the fresh air. Staff plan a wide range of opportunities for children to develop good physical skills. Children are relaxed and happy. Staff are always close to children and give them reassurance when required, supporting their emotional well-being. Children behave very well. Staff support children to understand how others feel and promote kindness and equality. Children receive wholesome and nutritious meals. Staff fully understand each child's individual dietary needs and follow them closely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are prepared for their eventual move on to school. They are confident, have high levels of self-esteem and communicate well. Children have their own ideas and are motivated to learn. All children listen well and follow instructions, they wait patiently for their turn during activities. Children are creative and curious. They like to explore and make positive relationships with adults and peers.
