Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are vigilant to potential hazards and have a good understanding of how to ensure the setting is safe. They know how to respond to concerns about a child and have appropriate systems to ensure important information is shared with relevant agencies. Recruitment processes are appropriate and the manager constantly reviews staff's ongoing suitability. Any concerns with staff's performance are addressed and the manager provides training and support to help staff enhance their skills. The manager assesses the quality of practice very well. She recognises key areas to improve and takes action to implement changes. Staff share general information with parents and also with other professionals who work with children and their families. This helps to promote consistent care and support.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

When engaged in activities with the children, staff provide meaningful conversation and introduce a range of vocabulary. They encourage children to recall past events and experiences, and children have time to process ideas and respond. Babies receive encouragement and support as they start to explore toys and resources. Staff encourage them to try out new skills, such as climbing over soft-play equipment and walking. Staff assess children's learning and use what they observe to plan next steps. These are then linked to future planned activities. The manager tracks children's progress and frequently spends time in the room, monitoring the quality of teaching and getting to know each child. This helps her to assess their abilities and ensure the information recorded is an accurate assessment of their progress.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Older children enjoy playing with their friends. They are developing good levels of independence, such as through serving their own meals and pouring their drinks. They listen to the ideas of others and welcome other children into their play. Babies are developing close emotional attachments to their key person, helping them to feel secure and safe. Staff find out key information from parents about their child's routine and support these as much as possible. Children enjoy playing outdoors and benefit from trips and walks in the local community. They develop an awareness of healthy food, such as when planning an imaginary picnic.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children enjoy exploring the wide range of activities available. In the baby room, staff challenge babies to look at different coloured bottles and then find a dinosaur of the same colour. Babies develop high levels of self-esteem and confidence as staff provide lots of praise. Toddlers enjoy exploring play dough and considering how it fits in different-sized containers. They show pride in their achievements, such as clapping their hands when they achieve something new. Older children persevere and concentrate as they practise using tweezers to pick up small objects. Children enjoy their activities and the resources available to them.
