p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider has completed a full safeguarding audit since the last inspection and is fully aware of her responsibility to ensure all adults working with children are suitable to do so. This includes ensuring adults are sufficiently qualified and experienced to promote children's learning well. She had updated Ofsted with details of her assistants so that suitability checks are initiated. She ensures that adults whose suitability has not been checked are not left unattended with children. Policies and procedures have been updated since the last inspection to reflect changes in safeguarding legislation. Safeguarding procedures are shared with adults caring for children and all staff have attended training. This means they have a robust understanding of how to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Adults working in the setting are enthusiastic and teach children well. They make good use of assessments when children first start and work closely with parents to plan for children's next steps. They provide a wide range of opportunities for children to learn through tactile and real-life experiences. For example, children are encouraged to cut up their fruits and pour their own drinks in the snack area. They use a range of tools in the digging area and enjoy an excellent range of books and puppets in all the rooms. Adults provide a wide range of activities for children to learn about people and communities that may be different from their own. For example, they learn about foods from Africa which they can measure, pour and count, helping their mathematical skills. The provider carefully checks each child's progress and that of different groups of children. This ensures that children who may need extra help, quickly catch up with their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's awareness of how to keep safe is exceptionally well supported in the setting. For example, children are involved in the daily risk assessment when they check the garden for hazards using the 'safety officer' puppet. Adults help them to tick the checklist using clipboards and pens. This helps children learn the importance of safety and also that print carried meaning. Children learn to be kind to others. For example, they bring their own toys for toy sharing day and eagerly share them with their friends. Behaviour is exemplary and children develop good self-care skills. For example, all children learn how to put on their coats independently. They help to set up the place mats and cups for lunch and show good manners when eating together. Children are happy and settled in an exciting, stimulating and welcoming environment. They enjoy active learning in the garden which supports their physical skills. Adults are kind and respectful to all children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

This means everyone is included and children rapidly develop confidence in their own abilities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are making good progress. They are motivated and eager to join in with activities. Children who speak English as an additional language make equally good progress because adults have high expectations of what they can achieve. This means all children are extremely well prepared for school.
