This provision is good

n Staff offer a welcoming and inclusive learning environment where children feel safe and secure. Children settle well and develop a good sense of belonging. Their behaviour and attitudes to learning are generally good. n Staff are sensitive to the needs of babies. Babies giggle and happily join in activities. They have plenty of space to play safely. n Staff know how children learn and develop through play. When identifying gaps in children's learning, they provide good support to help them catch up. Children make good progress in relation to their individual starting points and capabilities. Children who speak English as an additional language equally progress well. Staff prepare children well for the next stages of their learning, including starting school. n Staff share information with parents about their children's academic progress and well- being and offer them ideas on how they can support their children's development at

home. n Leaders continually assess and monitor the quality of the provision to help ensure that children achieve well and staff meet their care and learning needs effectively. n Occasionally, some staff do not provide enough challenges to extend children's speaking skills fully and stretch their thinking to deepen their learning. n At times, staff miss opportunities to help children manage tasks for themselves so that they become more independent in their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider uses robust vetting and recruitment procedures to help ensure that all staff are suitable to work with the children. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding practice to protect children in their care. For example, they work well with outside professionals to support vulnerable families. Leaders observe staff regularly and give them specific feedback to help them develop the quality of their practice. Staff attend regular training to strengthen their skills. They work well with other early years providers when the time comes for children to move on. Leaders seek the views of staff, parents and others to help secure good outcomes for all children. Parents are pleased with the good progress their children make and appreciate the care and support their children receive from this attentive team.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gain relevant information from parents to assess their children's learning. They observe children in play and plan engaging activities to support their good development. Staff encourage children to try new experiences. Children keenly join in activities, make friends and play together in harmony. They use their creativity well. For example, they roll, pat and cut play dough into different shapes. They explore role-play sea animals and observe how water sparkles when mixed with glitter. Young children are excited to explore the texture of cornflour when it becomes a liquid after water is added. Children enjoy music and dance and listen to the sounds musical instruments make.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for the children. For example, they share their behaviour procedures with parents and children so that they are clear about the expectations. Children learn to manage their own behaviour well and respect the feelings of others. Staff help children adopt healthy attitudes. For example, children enjoy nutritious meals with their friends and know that drinking water keeps them hydrated. They enjoy active play in the outdoors and benefit from social interaction with their friends. Young children keenly rock the role-play horses with care. Older children love to offer a ride to their friends, using large tricycles. Staff check the premises regularly and teach children how to use equipment safely, for example, as they use paint brushes and wet sand.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress and any gaps in learning are closing. Babies become familiar with routines. Children listen attentively and respond carefully to requests. Older children can count, sort objects and recognise numerals. They are developing the skills to solve problems. They know some letters and sounds and can write words, such as their names, correctly.
