p.1

The provision is good

n The manager, who was new to the daycare at the time of the last inspection, has overseen positive improvements to the quality of teaching and learning. She sets high expectations and is supported well by the enthusiastic staff. n The staff promote the development of children's communication skills well. They support all children, including those who speak English as an additional language, to speak with increasing confidence and purpose. n Staff engage children's interest through, for example, skilful questioning and thoughtful explanations. They further capture their imagination through singing songs and telling stories about the activities the children are doing. n Staff provide a warm, friendly and caring environment. They work closely with parents to help children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to settle in quickly and to ensure a happy start to their educational experiences.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection procedures and know signs for potential radicalisation. The manager keeps the knowledge fresh through regular discussions at staff meetings. Staff are vigilant and ensure children play in a safe and clean environment. Procedures to improve the quality of teaching are now good and based on a first-hand knowledge of staff's capabilities. Staff are well qualified for their roles. They take advantage of training opportunities on, for example, assessment and support for children with autism, to strengthen the care and education they provide. Staff build good relationships with parents through their open and friendly manner and the assurance and guidance they offer.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work well with parents to make initial assessments of children's level of achievement. They continue to accurately assess children's progress over time. Staff identify any gaps in children's learning and take strong steps, including working with other professionals, to help address them. Staff make good use of bright and interesting resources to stimulate children's imagination. They help children to develop the key knowledge they need to build their future learning. For example, they develop children's knowledge of colours and animal names through talking about the objects hidden in the sand. They help children to develop their counting, sorting and ordering skills well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children know their key person well and staff build good relationships with families. This contributes to the smooth start that children make in their educational experiences. Staff successfully help children to manage and improve their own behaviour and relationships with others. They help children develop their self-confidence and self-awareness. For example, they support children with regular and purposeful praise and guidance and show respect for the work they produce. Children learn to be increasingly independent and to make their own decisions and choices. Staff encourage children to contribute to a tidy and healthy environment. They provide a good variety of nutritious and balanced meals. They guide children to wash their hands before eating. The children participate in dental health projects to teach them how to clean their teeth regularly.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are keen to learn and are inquisitive about the world around them. All groups of children make good progress and are well prepared for their future education, including starting school. Children, including those who speak English as an additional language, strongly develop their ability to follow a conversation and make increasingly pertinent and interesting comments. They develop an understanding of the language of shape and measure through sand and water play. Children enjoy physical activities such as riding trikes and throwing and catching large and small balls.
