Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a good understanding of how to keep children safe. They are clear of the procedures to follow should they need to report any concerns about the welfare of a child. This includes, reporting concerns about any staff working at the setting. There are rigorous procedures for the recruitment and professional development of all staff. This covers induction, supervision, appraisal and training. Recent training has had a positive impact on children's developing speech and language. The manager and staff ensure children play in safe environments and update risk assessments regularly. Since the last inspection they have improved the structure of the outdoor environment. Staff are aware of potential risks to children as they play and take steps to minimise these. They are deployed well and supervise children vigilantly.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff help all children, in particular those who speak English as an additional language, to develop their understanding and listening skills. For example, they engage children in discussion and model language as they play. Staff provide a range of activities that follow children's interests and plan effectively for their individual learning needs. Children enjoy opportunities to explore their understanding of the world. For example, they delight in finding a snail in the garden. Staff follow this interest to extend children's learning, such as looking at bugs in books. Children give meaning to their marks and draw pictures of their favourite insect. This helps to support their early writing skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's behaviour successfully. Children develop good social skills and begin to understand about friendships. Staff provide many opportunities for children to increase their sense of responsibility. For example, children work as a team to carry crates across the garden. This helps them to develop an understanding of how to manage personal risk and to think about the safety of others. Children grow fruit and vegetables and enjoy nutritious meals cooked on the premises. Staff chat to children about the food they eat and encourage them to try different foods. Children enjoy daily outdoor activities. They practise their physical skills, such as climbing and balancing. Staff praise their achievement, helping to boost their confidence and self-esteem.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are motivated to learn. They make good progress from their starting points and are well prepared for when they start school. Older children understand practical addition and subtraction and learn to write their names. Younger children enjoy many sensory experiences. They actively take part in group activities that involve a range of whole body movements.
