This provision is good

 The manager and staff successfully evaluate and improve the setting. For instance, staff have increased opportunities for children to choose new outdoor resources.  The manager regularly appraises staff practice and identifies training and development needs. For example, staff have developed further the outdoor play space to offer children exciting new challenges outdoors.  Management monitors children's progress effectively and takes prompt action to close any gaps in learning.

This has had a positive impact on their behaviour.  Management and staff enjoy positive relationships with parents. Parents say they appreciate the good-quality care their children receive. Partnerships with other professionals are strong.  Staff are good role models and children receive regular praise for their good behaviour.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of how to recognise and report any child protection concerns. Staff have completed several safeguarding training courses to help ensure their knowledge remains current. Management takes into account parents' views. For example, parents requested age-appropriate settling-in forms and new forms have been devised. Managers complete thorough checks of staff to make sure they are suitable to work with children. Adult-to-child ratios are maintained and staff deploy themselves well to support children. Risk assessment includes the sterilisation of equipment and resources. Staff promote good hygiene practice to help reduce the spread of infection. The premises are safe, for example, parents use key codes for entry and staff check the identification of visitors. The manager thoroughly investigates complaints and takes appropriate action to respond to them.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe, monitor and identify next steps in learning to help all children make good progress. They provide children with good opportunities to develop early writing skills. For instance, children make marks using a range of colourful pencils, note pads and chalks in outdoor play. Staff successfully build on children's interests. For example, they introduced a greater range of toy farm animals when children visited a farm with their parents. Staff nurture children's enjoyment of books by reading to them throughout the day. Staff plan activities to support children in developing their knowledge of the wider world. For example, they recycle everyday resources and plastics to help safeguard the environment.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Caring and sensitive staff relate well to children. Key persons develop close relationships with children to support their emotional well-being. Staff share their good knowledge with parents to help them support their children's development at home. Staff support children's good health. For example, they provide a variety of organic healthy snacks and meals. Staff provide support and guidance to help children learn to keep themselves safe. For instance, staff talk to children and show them how to safely climb and slide down the climbing frame. Outings to local play parks offer children's more physical challenges.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and independent. Babies are curious about the world around them. For example, they explore a range of sensory experiences and enjoy the different sounds toys make. Younger children develop good physical skills as they move and sing along with familiar songs. Older children are creative and able to develop their imagination well, such as when they act out storylines from their favourite books. Older children know the sounds that different letters represent and begin to write their name confidently. All children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and school.
