This provision is good

n Staff use their observations and assessment of children's learning effectively to plan and provide activities that challenge them successfully. Children make good progress. n Partnerships between the staff and parents are strong, ensuring that they continually share information in order to meet children's care and learning needs.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Procedures for staff recruitment, selection, vetting and induction meet requirements. Staff are aware of the internal and the local referral procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child. They know their responsibilities to prevent children from being drawn into situations that may put them at risk. The indoor and outdoor premises are safe and secure and staff are aware of their responsibilities to continually supervise children. The manager uses her knowledge and experience to monitor the effectiveness of teaching and learning. She regularly observes practice, recognises staff members' strengths and any areas for improvement and identifies training needs with staff during supervision meetings. Recent 'In the moment planning' training has helped staff to adapt their teaching practice while observing children. Parents are very happy with the provision. They say that their

children are making good progress and that systems for communication are very good.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff track children's ongoing progress and in partnership with parents they plan effectively for the next stage in children's learning. Children practise their good handling skills while they play with a variety of toys and tools. Staff support pre-school children well as they build an interest in scientific concepts. The children pour oil into large test tubes. They then use their good skills to squeeze pipettes and obtain food colouring from small bottles, and deposit the food colouring into the test tubes. The pre-school children find out and talk about what happens when they shake the tubes. Staff support their thinking and speaking skills well; for example, they ask the children to predict what will happen when they mix colours. The two-year-old children have fun outside using magnifying glasses while searching for toy bugs in soil. Staff encourage them to count while they play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Relationships between staff and children are very good. Children behave well. Older children show consideration for their friends and readily share resources. Staff promote children's self-confidence well, for example, through praising their efforts and achievements. Children eat healthy food and they are physically active. Young children learn to steer and pedal the small tricycles, and balance while they play football. Children develop an understanding of dangers and how to keep themselves safe; for example, they learn how to climb the stairs safely.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in readiness for the move on to school. They develop independence, including managing their own hygiene and personal needs and putting on coats, boots and shoes. They make choices and decisions for themselves, such as choosing toys from boxes labelled with words and pictures that are stored on low-level shelving. Pencil control is developing well and children talk about the marks that they make. Children learn about cultures and traditions beyond their own experience.
