Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a secure understanding of how to safeguard and protect children. They are familiar with child protection issues and the procedures to report any concerns about a child's welfare. Thorough recruitment and vetting processes are in place to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. The manager ensures new staff benefit from a thorough induction and they get regular support from a more experienced and qualified member of the team. She provides professional development opportunities and completes ongoing supervision to provide guidance and enhance their knowledge and skills further. Staff welcome support from other professionals to help identify and close gaps in children's learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe children's learning well. They provide interesting activities for them to explore freely and develop new interests. For example, older children enjoy playing together and they learn how to use a sponge and soap to wash different resources. Staff supervise and interact with children during their play well. For example, they ask simple questions to support older children's speaking and listening skills. Younger children enjoy a range of sensory experiences. For example, they curiously use their hands and tools to explore with paints and excitedly look at their reflection in the mirror. Staff make good use of the outside area to develop children's awareness of nature and insects. Children develop their physical skills well. For example, they ride bicycles and use the slide safely.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle quickly at the setting. They form close attachments with their key person and know when to seek support from them. Staff are attentive and sensitive to individual children's needs. They offer support and reassurance to develop children's confidence and to encourage them to persevere at tasks effectively. Children learn to manage small responsibilities that help to develop their independence skills effectively. For example, younger children learn to choose and lead their play and older children learn to manage their personal care needs, such as using the toilet, dressing and undressing themselves. Children develop their social skills well. They form close friendships with other children, encourage them to join in with their play and willingly take turns to use the resources.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in relation to their starting points. They develop skills to support them in the next stage of their learning. For example, younger children develop good mobility, balance and coordination. They grasp and use a range of resources well. Older children show interest in books and listen keenly to stories. They follow simple instructions well and ask questions to support their own understanding.
