p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are deployed effectively so that ratios are maintained and children are well supervised. Staff are knowledgeable and well informed about how to identify and report any potential warning signs of abuse or radicalisation. The manager ensures that staff's knowledge is current and up to date by cascading information down to her team, such as how to support children who speak English as an additional language. The majority of staff are paediatric first aiders and hold first-aid certificates. The manager works well with the local authority to identify areas of strength and improvement, and acts on feedback. She has introduced an effective system for analysing any gaps in the learning of different groups of children. She acts as a second key person for children and has a good awareness of which children are progressing below, at and above expectations. She uses this data to work with staff to plan for

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff get to know their key children's interests and needs well and use this information to plan their next steps in learning. They use individual learning plans to close gaps in learning for children with special educational needs. The staff take account of children's voices through planning and activities. For example, staff adapt the planning to follow children's interests. Staff effectively respond to children's interests and needs through their flexible approach. They provide varied experiences for children. For example, in the garden, children paint onto cling film that is wrapped around the legs of a upside-down table, creating an easel effect. Staff help children learn about their own cultures and the beliefs of their peers. For example, they support them to create menorahs from handprints for Hanukkah.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff work with parents to ensure children's needs are met at home and in the setting. Staff have created a learning environment where children learn from their example. Staff are calm, polite and respectful, which has a positive impact on children's well-being. On arrival, the majority of the children were observed to be happy and able to part from their main carers with ease. Children's behaviour throughout the setting is very good. Children are learning to share and take turns, and are reminded to say 'please' and 'thank you'. The children take part in regular physical activities, such as dancing exercises, to promote their physical well-being. Staff encourage families to provide their children with healthy food options. They follow good hygiene procedures during nappy- changing routines and at snack times.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

The older children in the setting are learning independence and self-care skills. For example, they cut fruit, pour their drinks and wash their hands independently. Two-year- olds are developing their imaginations through open-ended play with resources with multiple uses. For example, they use baking trays, rice, pasta, gems and tissue paper to create and build their ideas freely. All children are developing the key skills required for school and are motivated to learn.
