Accidents and injuries are dealt with effectively and staff are first-aid trained. Partnership working is strong and links with the primary school are vigorous.

staff with a greater understanding of how to challenge children's large-muscle development. Self-evaluation is strong and improvement plans are sharply focused.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Good teaching, a secure knowledge of child development and an array of quality first-hand experiences ensure all children make good progress. Overall, tracking, observation and planning arrangements are good. Gaps in learning quickly narrow and parents are kept well informed of their children's developmental progress. Next steps in children's learning are personalised, challenging and are evaluated with precision. Staff skilfully question children during their play and listen to them with genuine interest. Older children relish opportunities to play games and beam with delight while singing and dancing. Younger children enjoy playing with musical instruments and excitedly splash in water. They become fascinated while playing on the bouncy castle and enjoy looking at books with staff.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Care practices are good and staff meet children's physical and emotional well-being very well. Children have high levels of self-esteem and are self-motivated individuals. They behave well and show genuine care and affection towards one another. They are proud of their learning environment and have a strong sense of belonging. They discuss the importance of following safety precautions and know the rules of the setting very well.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are resilient and capable individuals who are never satisfied until a task is complete. They develop positive attitudes towards their learning and leave the setting with a good skill base in readiness for school. Younger children enjoy exploring gloop and paint. Older children complete jigsaw puzzles and decorate cakes for the royal wedding. Inspection report: Bearswraparound Care Services @ Mount Carmel RC Primary School, 18 May 2018 4 of 5
