Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding the actions to take if they are concerned about a child's welfare. All staff attend regular safeguarding training. Effective induction and recruitment procedures are in place to protect children. Staff are well deployed and work very well together. Daily conversations between staff and parents, along with regular developmental reviews and sharing records, help to keep parents well informed. There are regular staff team meetings, and one-to-one staff supervision has been successfully implemented to monitor and support staff practice. Managers promote the professional development and training needs of staff well. This helps to improve the quality of teaching and outcomes for children. Effective self-evaluation helps to plan for ongoing improvements to the quality of the provision.

make. The manager has close links with outside professionals that enable her to get appropriate help when needed in order to make sure all children's needs are met.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have high expectations of the children. They participate in children's play, enabling them to extend and develop children's learning. Staff help children learn about the world around them. For example, they celebrate each other's cultures and provide resources that represent people's similarities, differences and professions. There is an effective key-person system and staff make regular observations of children. They use these well to develop a secure knowledge of children's abilities and interests, and plan precisely so that all children make good progress. Staff use a variety of methods to promote children's language. For example, they effectively use questions to encourage children to think and respond, and use pictures as prompts during some focus activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff settle children quickly from the onset. They successfully support children to be aware of the familiar routines, helping to make them feel comfortable and safe. Staff are very attentive to the children and encourage them to learn how to stay safe and to adopt a healthy lifestyle. For example, they provide opportunities for children to enjoy being physically active and are encouraged to adopt healthy eating habits. Staff effectively support children to understand hygiene practices and to be independent in caring for their personal needs. For example, children wash their hands before snacks without prompting and put their coat on with little help.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are self-motivated, confident and eager to explore and learn. They are sociable and confident. Children demonstrate their developing language as they talk happily with staff and their friends, and develop good physical coordination. Older children skilfully solve problems as they play. They have a good understanding of shapes and use their imagined ideas well as they work together to build a house. All children make good progress and develop the skills required for future learning, including school.
