p.1

The provision is good

n Staff provide a highly stimulating and rich learning environment where children feel safe and secure, happy and confident.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Procedures to ensure safe recruitment of staff are robust. Staff have a good knowledge of how to safeguard children and the procedures to follow should a welfare concern arise. Leaders and staff build trusting relationships with parents so that children are kept safe. They place a strong focus on supporting families as a whole. Leaders sensitively manage difficult situations and discussions with parents and children when they arise to help embed the culture of the setting and the strong focus on the promotion of British values. Leaders have a good knowledge of the priorities of the setting, with staff placing a specific focus on improving children's communication and language development so that they are ready for their next stages of learning and attending school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work well with parents to find out about their child when they first start at the setting. Staff effectively use this information, together with their observations, to plan for the needs and interests of children. Staff know the children very well and follow their interests as soon as they arrive at the setting. Staff immediately begin to support children's play. They are skilled at knowing when to sit back and observe and when to interact and support children's play. They encourage children to use their imagination in their play, asking questions and encouraging children to think through their own ideas. Staff model language and praise children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children move happily and freely throughout the environment. Their curiosity is nurtured with the wide variety of toys and equipment that they are able to explore independently. This includes good opportunities that support their physical development. For example, children manipulate dough and use moving walkways, steps, slides and age-appropriate exercise equipment with confidence. They behave well and demonstrate positive relationships. For example, children cooperate with the rules of group activities, such as group exercise and circle time, and respect the boundaries of areas reserved for adults. A healthy approach to diet is promoted within the setting, where children have access to healthy foods and water. They also know that they need to wash their hands before meals.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Young children, and those who have recently started at the setting, are settled and demonstrate good language and communication skills. This is encouraging given that children typically do not come from households where English is the main spoken language. Older children count the cubes of towers they are making, talk about their artwork and show interest in books and stories. Children listen to instructions and copy the staff.
