This provision is good

 Staff are good role models who provide children with constant praise and encouragement. Children behave well and are happy. They are settled and have good levels of self-confidence and self-esteem.  Staff promote children's developing communication and literacy skills well.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a clear understanding of safeguarding procedures and are fully aware of what to do should they have concerns about children's welfare. Effective procedures for recruitment and checking the ongoing suitability of staff are implemented well to safeguard children. Managers and staff use effective procedures and risk assessments to support children's safety. The management team has appropriate arrangements in place for supervision of all staff. Staff attend compulsory training, such as paediatric first aid to keep their knowledge up to date. Managers constantly evaluate the provision in order to identify ways to continually improve the service provided.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified. They use observations and assessment of children to plan challenging experiences based upon children's individual needs and interests. Staff interact positively with the children who enjoy sharing their thoughts and ideas with them and invite them to join in with their activities. Staff are well deployed within the setting to support children in their chosen area of play. Children have good imaginations and have access to a wide and varied collection of resources. They enthusiastically engage in a wide range of appealing activities that builds on what they know and can do.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Management and staff work together to implement an effective key-person system. Flexible settling-in sessions help to ensure that children's emotional well-being is supported well. Children develop trusting relationships with the warm and caring staff. Children take part in lots of physical activity and have access to a well-resourced outdoor area. Children follow good hygiene routines. They are offered healthy and nutritious snacks. Mealtimes are social occasions and staff make good use of these opportunities to help children to be independent. For example, children serve themselves their own food and pour their own drinks. Children mix with others from a wide range of backgrounds. They learn about diversity and other faiths and develop an understanding of the world around them.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are developing well, including those who are in receipt of additional funding. They gain good mathematical understanding. For example, they measure and count as they slice up bananas at snack time. Children are confident, happy and secure within their environment. They enjoy using wooden blocks to make and energetically explore balancing beams. Children are working within typical levels of development and are well prepared for the move to school. Children show interest in all activities and gain a sense of pride in their achievements. They are good thinkers and enjoy solving problems.
