Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager carefully considers risks and ensures children are well supervised. She works closely with parents and other professionals to share relevant information to ensure children are kept safe. Accident and medication forms are completed appropriately. The manager uses her strong links with the schools early years teacher to evaluate children's readiness for school. Monitoring arrangements, including staff supervisions and a regular analysis of all children's learning help the manager to identify ways to enhance teaching and learning. For example, after identifying that attainment in physical development could be higher, steps were taken to organise more structured planning for outdoor activities.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know their children well. High priority is given to teaching all children to develop their listening and speaking skills, their social skills and their interest in mathematics. For example, staff support mathematical concepts as they change the quantity of objects while singing nursery rhymes. Children enjoy counting forwards and backwards with increasing accuracy. Staff add commentary and ask effective questions that help children to think and extend their ideas. Staff make regular observations of children's learning to support the next steps in their development.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are friendly and courteous role models and children learn to respect each other. The consistent nurturing of the staff helps children to form secure attachments right from the start. Staff use their knowledge of each child's family to further support their strong relationships. Staff provide resources for parents to continue children's learning at home and to promote their self-esteem. For instance, children enjoy taking a teddy bear home at the weekend and sharing photographs with their friends during circle times about their experiences from home. Children have long periods of time throughout the day where they can choose to play outside, encouraging them to be physically active.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress towards the early learning goals. They are keen learners and communicate confidently with adults and their peers. Children who need extra support make good progress in their achievements. The consistent approach to being courteous and kind further promotes children's personal, social and emotional development. Children are self-assured, happy and seek out others to share experiences with.
