p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider undertakes vetting checks on all staff to ensure that they are suitable to work with the children. Staff receive regular professional support and training. They have an up-to-date understanding of safeguarding procedures and know how to protect children in their care. Managers supervise staff and offer them constructive feedback to help them develop their knowledge and skills. Staff work well with other early years providers and outside professionals to support children, and provide good continuity and progression to children's learning. Managers act on the views and comments of parents and others to maintain a good service. Parents comment that they are very happy with the care their children receive from this attentive staff team and their children learn well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff collate relevant information from parents to establish their children's starting points. They assess children's learning regularly and provide a range of activities and resources to enthuse children to learn. Staff explain activities well to children and show them how to use resources safely. Children use creativity well in their play. For example, they roll play dough, and mould and cut it into different shapes. They love to cook in the mud kitchen and show staff what they have made. Staff introduce children to songs and stories. Children learn new rhymes and confidently talk about their favourite pictures. Staff hold discussions with children and support their language development effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff are excellent role models for the children. For example, they teach children about behaviour expectations and how to be kind to others. Children learn to share toys fairly, take turns and consider the opinions of others. They also gain an excellent sense of community and self-worth. Young children quickly settle into daily routines. Staff undertake daily risk assessments of the premises with the children and help them develop excellent knowledge of how to keep safe. Children enjoy the social interaction with their friends. Older children prepare own snacks independently and serve themselves. They keenly help to set up and clear tables after lunch. Children develop very good understanding of the importance of healthy eating.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and any gaps in learning are closing. Young children explore resources to find out how things work. Children listen attentively and respond well to instructions. Older children climb the apparatus and manoeuvre car tyres safely. They know some letters and sounds, and learn to write for different purposes. Children are aware of the changes that happen to the weather around them.
