Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Recruitment and vetting procedures are robust. This helps to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff are reflective practitioners. They observe and evaluate each other's practice. Clear targets are set to make sure the quality of the setting continually improves. For example, there are plans to develop staff's knowledge of supporting children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. As part of the setting's rigorous self-evaluation, the views of parents and children are sought and acted upon. For example, children are provided with more food choices at teatime to meet their different requests. All staff attend regular child protection training. They understand the procedures they must follow if they have a concern that a child may be at risk of harm. Staff provide children with safe indoor and outdoor spaces. The premises are secure and staff are vigilant in their supervision of children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified. They place a strong focus on helping children to learn through their play. Staff plan activities that build upon the skills children develop at school. For instance, children practise their reading skills. They learn to wait their turn when speaking in a group. Staff help children to develop a sense of belonging. For example, children enjoy sticking photographs of what they have been doing into a scrapbook. They proudly share the book with visitors to the setting. Children thoroughly enjoy arts and crafts. They become very excited when provided with recycled items to build with. Children interact well with others and confidently share their ideas. For example, children explain to staff that they are going to make a rocket out of boxes. Staff engage well with children. They ask lots of questions about children's experiences at school and at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children eagerly enter the setting and are confident and relaxed. They seek out their friends and their favourite toys to play with. Children show care and respect towards others. For example, children are polite in their conversations with visitors to the setting. Children have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe. They follow the rules, which include hanging coats and bags on pegs and walking safely up the stairs. Children develop their independence. For example, at mealtimes, children set the table, pour drinks and help to wash and dry the dishes and utensils. Staff give children clear messages about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Children enjoy healthy food options and choose to play in the stimulating garden. Trips to the local library and park help children to learn about features in their local community.
