This provision is good

n Children make good progress in their learning and development. Staff provide an interesting and stimulating environment that engages and motivates children well. n Older children listen to one another, talk about their play and wait their turn to speak. They talk animatedly, demonstrate very positive attitudes and show good conversational skills. This supports their language development well. n Children rapidly build close bonds with their key person. This helps children to grow in confidence as they settle in. Staff are kind and caring and meet children's needs. n Partnerships with parents and other professionals involved in the care and learning of children are strong.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a clear understanding about the signs and symptoms of abuse to be aware of. They understand the procedures to follow and who to contact with any such concern. The manager ensures staff are up to date with new guidelines to safeguard children. She checks the suitability of all staff through robust recruitment and induction, and provides effective supervision meetings. This helps to identify training and opportunities for professional development that can support staff in extending their skills and learning further. The manager and staff regularly track children's progress to help them identify and address any gaps in their learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are qualified and the quality of their teaching is good. They regularly observe and make accurate assessments of children's learning. Staff use what they know to offer children individual learning experiences. Babies press buttons on interactive books to see what happens and are delighted with the sounds they make. Sensitive staff read slowly and sing familiar rhymes. Younger children use resources well and recreate a familiar story, naming the animal characters. Older children are challenged during story sessions to predict what may happen next and talk about what they see in the pictures. They listen attentively and show their enjoyment. This promotes children's literacy and communication skills well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children receive regular praise and encouragement that help to raise their self-esteem. For example, they become highly engaged in hunting for animals outdoors. They enthusiastically use rolled hands as binoculars to help them in their search. Babies are happy as they explore the environment and investigate the toys. They show delight as they balance jam jars. Staff work closely with parents when babies are weaning and they meet all children's dietary needs well, including supporting breastfeeding mums. Meals and snacks are nutritious and older children serve their own meals at lunchtime. Children develop good independence. They behave well. Staff provide clear and consistent messages that support children to develop their understanding about being kind and sharing toys with one another.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress from their individual starting points. They engage in a wide range of activities on offer. Older children enjoy building an obstacle course together out in the garden and then carefully walk over this. They develop good balance and physical skills. Older children display good language skills, write their name and count confidently. Younger children play in the sand, add water and enjoy their explorations. Children rapidly learn the skills needed for their next stage in learning and for their move on to school.
