p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager recruits and supervises staff effectively, and leads a committed staff team. There is a well-developed programme of professional development that supports staff to keep their knowledge and skills up to date. For example, staff have attended training to enhance their ability to support children to become ready for starting school. Together, with the positive relationships with local schools, this helps children to move on in their education with self-assurance. The manager monitors children's development thoroughly to notice any variations in the progress of different groups of children. She uses funding effectively to address any gaps in children's development. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff are vigilant and know the signs that might lead them to be concerned about a child's welfare. They are clear about local safeguarding procedures.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff assess children's achievements accurately and share this information with parents regularly. Staff interact with children enthusiastically and make suggestions to develop their play and learning. For example, as older children play in the sand, staff help them to think about ways of successfully making sandcastles. The children are eager to try things out for themselves, persevere, and show delight in their achievements. Staff provide good encouragement to babies to become more mobile as they reach to explore interesting resources. Children develop good manipulative skills and become motivated learners. Staff share books with skill, using different voices to bring stories to life and help older children to recognise the sounds that letters make. They provide interesting opportunities for children to explore ways of making marks to develop their early writing skills well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming learning environment with a good range of resources. Children make independent choices and enjoy leading their play. Staff are good role models and treat children with kindness and consideration. They provide gentle guidance to children to share, take turns and cooperate in play. Children follow good hygiene routines and learn to adopt healthy lifestyles. For example, staff encourage children to brush their teeth after meals and explain why this is important. Children benefit from a wide variety of experiences to explore different cultures. For example, they encourage children and families to share their traditions and celebrations. Children are able to make comparisons between their own experiences and those of others in other communities.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children gain the skills they need for future learning and their eventual move on to school. They become confident communicators and older children speak fluently with their peers and with adults. Younger children become capable of making their needs known and develop new vocabulary quickly. Children become able to assess risks for themselves and develop a good understanding of keeping themselves safe and healthy.
