Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers implement thorough recruitment and induction processes to ensure that staff are suitable to work with the children. Managers have reviewed their safeguarding policies and procedures to keep children safe. For example, managers and staff have a good understanding of safeguarding practices and are clear about the referral procedures if they have any welfare concerns about a child in their care. They check the progress of each child and groups effectively to help ensure that every child achieves well. Managers work closely with staff to raise the quality of the provision for children. For example, they observe staff regularly and offer them specific feedback to further develop their skills. Staff attend training to guide improvements. They work well with other providers when the time comes for the children to move on. Managers consider the views and comments of staff, parents, children and outside

professionals to make changes, and to help maintain positive outcomes for all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather relevant information from parents to assess what their children know and can do. They complete observations and plan for any gaps in children's learning. Staff introduce children to new activities and resources that reflect their interests and experiences from home. Children are well motivated to learn and use their imagination well in play. For example, children eagerly use the role-play cooking utensils to prepare drinks for their friends. Young children explore resources to find out how things work. Older children enjoy songs and stories, and like to share a book with their friends.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children's social and emotional skills to good effect. Children demonstrate an increasing awareness of how their actions may affect others. Staff help children adopt healthy living, through routines and everyday activities. For example, children know that fruit and water are good for them. They learn to wash their hands before meals to reduce the risk of infection. Children develop good independence skills. For instance, both younger and older children serve themselves at mealtimes and make choices in their play. Staff conduct regular checks of the premises and resources to help children remain safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps are closing. Babies learn to play with others and be used to routines. Children learn to share toys fairly and take turns. They listen attentively and respond well to requests. Older children know the sounds that letters represent and can write for different purposes. They can sort, match and order numerals correctly. They develop good skills to solve problems.
