This provision is good

n Relationships between staff, parents and children are positive. Children settle well into daily routines, make friends and play together in harmony. n Staff attend well to the needs of each child and engage them in new experiences. Children make good progress in relation to their individual starting points. They are well prepared for the next stage in their learning and their move to school. n Children enjoy activities that help them learn about other people.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Recruitment and vetting processes are thorough. Managers and staff have a clear understanding of the safeguarding procedures to follow if they have any welfare concerns about a child in their care. Managers observe staff and monitor their performance well, to maintain the quality of teaching and children's outcomes. Staff regularly attend training and share good practice with other colleagues. Effective partnerships with external agencies help staff to provide specific support for children who need extra help. Staff work well with other providers to help ensure good continuity and progression in children's learning. Managers and staff take into account the views, comments and suggestions of parents, children and outside professionals to help maintain their good standards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gain relevant information from parents to establish their children's starting points. They use such information along with their ongoing observations to meet the needs and interests of each child. Staff explain activities well to children and sensitively join in their play. Children have positive attitudes to learning and play well as a team. For example, they purposefully use different construction tools to build their favourite models. Children create imaginative pictures using collages of different materials and show their artistic work to staff who praise them for their good achievement. Young children play with coloured dry rice and explore its texture. Children keenly listen to stories and like to share a book with a friend.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children and provide clear guidance about what is acceptable behaviour. Children learn to share resources fairly, take turns and behave well. Staff help children to adopt healthy lifestyles. For example, children enjoy healthy meals and learn to serve themselves. They engage well in outdoor activities and enjoy fresh air and exercise. For example, they visit the local park to collect leaves and to observe the changes that happen to the natural world around them. Staff conduct daily checks on the premises, to ensure children can engage in indoor and outdoor activities safely. Through outings, children practise to cross the roads with care.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children achieve well and any gaps in their learning are closing. Young children learn to handle toys with care and to socialise with others. Older children recognise some sounds and letters, and learn to write their names correctly. They count, sort and match objects and write numerals independently. Children eagerly use magnifying glasses and role-play cameras to find out how things look through the lenses.
