p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are made aware of the correct safeguarding procedures at induction which are then discussed at monthly supervision meetings. This ensures all staff are confident about how to keep children safe. Recruitment and vetting procedures are good which ensures that the suitability of staff has been thoroughly explored, prior to the offer of employment. All staff are aware of the setting's improvement and development plans and have responsibility for certain tasks within this plan. The manager assigns these tasks and monitors their progress. This ensures that the setting continues to improve. Staff are supported in their roles through training, coaching and support. This means that children benefit from good-quality teaching.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well. This means they are aware of the relevant next steps in children's learning, and therefore, they provide a good range of activities to support this. For example, children are encouraged to listen to their friends at the dining table which supports their communication skills. Another child is provided with tools to promote small-muscle skills during a painting activity. Regular evaluation of teaching and learning, alongside accurate assessments of children's progress, means that staff can easily identify when children require additional support. Older children are beginning to enjoy activities that promote their understanding of the wider world, such as visits to the post office and local care home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff support children to resolve minor disagreements which encourages their good behaviour. Older children are confident and are increasingly independent in managing their self-care skills. The food and snacks offered to children are healthy and nutritious, and mealtimes are an enjoyable social event. Children demonstrate their understanding of the importance of a balanced diet. This is complemented by the opportunities that staff provide, for purposeful physical play outdoors. Clear risk assessments are in place which helps to keep the children safe. However, there is room to strengthen accident reporting procedures to take account of where injuries occurred. The environment is rich in text which supports children's communication skills. However, there is scope to increase the use of children's home languages, for those who speak English as an additional language.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those who are most able, thoroughly enjoy the challenging and exciting activities staff provide. All children are making good progress. Children of all age groups are motivated to learn new things. For example, babies enjoy splashing and wiping up the water as they bath the dolls. Older children recognise that all families are different as they discuss who lives in their home. Children gain a wide range of essential skills that supports them for the next stage in their leaning, including starting school.
