Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection procedures and what to do if they are worried that a child may be at risk of harm. This helps them to support children's welfare effectively. Managers and staff carry out thorough risk assessments. They make sure children are safe when playing indoors and outdoors. Recruitment and vetting procedures are robust. Managers effectively monitor the quality of care that the staff provide. They hold regular supervision meetings with staff and support their training needs. Staff have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities. The manager and staff monitor children's achievements effectively to help identify and address any gaps in learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are experienced and qualified. The quality of teaching is good overall, and children make good progress from their starting points. Staff teach children to show care and concern. Children tend to the pet snails with consideration. Staff provide children with a choice of different play areas and a wide range of toys and play resources. For example, babies thoroughly enjoy exploring the different textures and smells that staff add to shaving foam. Staff teach children good early mathematical skills, such as estimating, counting and grouping objects. They regularly share ideas of how parents can support learning at home.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are good role models for children. They use and remind children about manners. Staff demonstrate friendly behaviours. This helps children to model good behaviour. Children serve their own snack and willingly help to pack away toys and equipment when they have finished using them. They have good opportunities to be physically active outside. They show how they can pedal tricycles and skilfully navigate around obstacles. Children learn to take small risks in their play and are encouraged to make safe choices as they climb and run. Staff make sure children receive continuity in their care. For example, staff and parents agree how to help children learn to use the toilet. Children experience a smooth move from one playroom to another and on to school.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children develop the skills needed for the next stage in their learning and for school, when the time comes. They develop their early literacy skills. For example, pre-school children enjoy making marks on paper. They confidently describe what they have drawn. Children are learning to be independent. They help themselves to food and drink at mealtimes and choose whether to play indoors or outdoors.
