This provision is good

n Staff complete thorough and clear observations and assessments about a child's learning. They share key information with parents and include them in making decisions about what their child learns next. This helps to consistently support children's learning, in the setting and at home. n The manager carefully reviews the progress children make in their learning to identify any gaps in individual and groups of children's development. She implements effective provision plans which help to ensure children receive the individual support they need in their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff receive robust safeguarding training and explain they would take swift action should they have a concern about a child's welfare. The leadership and management team has implemented effective recruitment and vetting procedures which help to ensure all those who have access to children are suitable. The manager evaluates the quality of her setting well. She regularly seeks the views of parents, staff and children and uses this to identify improvement plans. The manager focuses on using the information she receives to plan a welcoming and stimulating learning environment for children. For example, children play in different sized huts and habitats which replicate the homes of people from around the world. This helps children develop a good understanding of the different lives and communities people live in.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff focus on developing children's literacy and communication skills. For example, children discuss pictures and anticipate what might happen next during stories. They learn to recognise their own names from an early stage. Older children confidently identify letter symbols and match these to corresponding objects. Children thoroughly enjoy singing nursery rhymes and songs. They eagerly share their own ideas and independently pick what they would like to sing next. Children develop their mathematical skills as they complete and compare actions that are faster and slower. They count how many ducks went swimming one day and learn that the total value changes if you add or subtract one duck.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children's behaviour is good. They learn to be kind and considerate towards others and share resources during play. Children learn to empathise and recognise different feelings and emotions. For example, they recognise mummy duck will be sad when her little ducks swim away and say she is happy again when they swim back. Children learn how to take care of their environment and other creatures. For example, they help to take care of and feed the school's chickens. Children learn how to keep themselves fit and healthy as they take regular exercise in the outdoor play areas and grow their own food produce. Children taste the foods they grow and use these to bake foods.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make consistently good rates of progress according to their stage of development. They are well prepared for their next stages of learning and eventual move on to school. Younger children develop good coordination and dexterity as they serve their own meals and carefully pour their own drinks. Older children learn how to write their own names and use a tripod grip to hold their pen. Children are confident and demonstrate high levels of self-esteem. They eagerly participate in activities and share their own ideas during play.
