The provision is good

n Staff focus on supporting children's language. They offer encouragement and praise and use signs as well as words in English and children's home languages.

Staff provide play packs containing different activities to support parents to continue children's learning and development at home. n Staff use their knowledge of what children can do to provide them with a range of opportunities to practise and refine skills.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The owner follows robust recruitment procedures to ensure the suitability of staff. The owner and staff have a secure understanding of child protection procedures and keep their knowledge up to date. They are confident with the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child. The owner and staff monitor children's progress closely to identify any gaps in their development. The manager supports staff with their professional development. For example, staff have received professional training to enable them to use a combination of verbal and non-verbal strategies to support the development of children's communication skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff observe and assess children's development regularly. They use this information well to plan for each child's next steps in learning. An effective key-person system enables the sharing of children's progress and next steps. Overall, staff support children's communication and language skills well. For example, they encourage babies to babble and develop speech sounds. They model new words to toddlers, such as 'fizzy'. Staff encourage children to try new experiences. For example, children take part in an activity to make lemonade using fresh lemons. Staff support children's early reading skills well. For example, babies develop an interest in books and toddlers enjoy listening to and taking part in storytelling opportunities. Children enjoy counting games and singing songs and rhymes together.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children share, work together and develop the social skills that they need for the next stage in education. Behaviour is good. Children form good relationships with staff and look to them for comfort. Children are encouraged to to be independent. For example, older children are beginning to manage their care needs well and babies receive support to feed themselves.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress in readiness for their future learning and the move on to school. They develop good mathematical skills. Staff encourage children to count and recognise numbers. Children are encouraged to make choices. For example, staff describe activities and invite children to decide which one they would like to do next. Children show imagination. For example, as they write letters to friends and family.
