This provision is good

n There have been significant improvements made since the last inspection to address all issues raised in relation to children's welfare, learning and development. There is a clear commitment and shared vision to continue to make positive changes. The provider has embraced support from the local authority and gathers ongoing feedback from staff and parents. Self-evaluation processes are now used well. The manager and staff team have clear targets to help to secure further improvement in the future. n Staff use the recently improved planning systems well. They regularly observe children and accurately assess what they can do to help them to plan the next steps in their learning and development. n Children develop close bonds with their key person and eagerly seek them out to share in their achievements. Staff are always on hand to offer praise and reassurance. This contributes greatly to children's emotional well-being.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager has a good understanding of the needs of all children as she regularly monitors their progress to identify any gaps in their learning. She supports staff to plan opportunities that help to ensure that all children make good progress. The manager supports staff effectively in their role. She meets with them to discuss aspects of their practice and to plan future training and opportunities. For example, recent in-house training on observation, assessment and planning, has been used effectively by staff to regularly and consistently plan the next steps in children's learning precisely. Safeguarding is effective. The safeguarding and welfare requirements are understood by managers and procedures have been developed to ensure the ongoing suitability of all staff is checked regularly. Staff are well trained and have a good understanding of their role in safeguarding children. They know what to do if they are concerned about a child's

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff play alongside children and talk to them about what they see them doing. They ask questions that encourage children to think and share their ideas. Younger children delight in singing songs and learning rhymes. They eagerly use a range of props as they confidently sing together. Older children enjoy sharing books and talk about what they can see in the pictures. Staff encourage children to predict what they think will happen next in the story, before they turn the page. All children learn to count and recognise numbers. Staff use a wide range of mathematical vocabulary during children's play. For example, they encourage children to use words, such as taller and shorter when comparing the height of a tower of blocks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models who support children to manage their own behaviour well. They talk to children and explain why some behaviours are not acceptable. Staff support children to effectively build their friendships and treat each other with respect. Staff ensure that children follow good hygiene procedures. Older children eagerly explain why it is important to wash their hands before enjoying the wide variety of healthy meals and snacks provided. Children enjoy regular opportunities to play outdoors. They confidently use ride-on toys, kick balls and use climbing equipment. Staff sensitively support children to recognise similarities and differences between themselves and others.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are independent, confident and curious learners. They make their own choices about what they would like to play with from the range of resources available. Children play well together, negotiating, sharing and taking turns. Babies and toddlers confidently explore their surroundings and eagerly engage in activities, while older children learn how to hold a pencil and form the letters of their name. Children learn a range of skills that help to prepare them for the next stage in their learning, including school.
