Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good understanding of how young children learn and use this knowledge skilfully to plan a wide range of stimulating activities that children enjoy. For instance, they make regular changes to activities to motivate children and extend their level of interest. Staff are skilled in helping children to develop their physical skills. Babies are encouraged to climb safely using low-level equipment, and use spoons and their hands to scoop oats. Older children learn how to pedal bikes, practise their ball control skills and balance carefully.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are caring and attentive to children's individual care needs. Children are happy, secure and settle quickly. Babies form secure attachments with the nurturing staff. Staff help children to develop their sense of responsibility. Younger children help with tidying up and pre-school children prepare the tables at lunchtime. Staff provide a wide range of activities that helps children to develop their awareness of different cultures. For example, children explore the artwork of different countries and learn about different celebrations.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

They learn about their bodies, join in with songs to name the different body parts and draw around their hands. Children express their imaginative ideas confidently. Pre-school children use the stimulating outdoor areas and equipment to inspire role play. They develop exciting storylines, such as travelling to new worlds and visiting 'Octoland'. Two-year-old children eagerly explore the effects created as they print with kitchen utensils and mix paint with their hands.
