Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The experienced owner/manager provides daily direction and regular supervision sessions and coaching to ensure staff are up to date and clear about their roles and responsibilities. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff check the environment daily to ensure it is safe and suitable in preparation for children. There is a robust vetting and induction system in place to ensure staff are suitable and their continued suitability is regularly assessed. Staff have a good understanding of child protection and wider safeguarding issues and know the procedure to follow if they have a concern about a child. Parents report good levels of satisfaction. They value the support they receive on issues, such as potty training and behaviour management.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use children's interests well to engage them in activities and to help them learn. For example, staff skilfully incorporate counting and problem-solving opportunities into the children's interests in trains and tools and repairing things. Staff encourage children to talk about what they are doing and introduce new vocabulary, ideas and concepts as they play. Staff use the changing seasons well to capture children's interest in the natural world. For example, children learn about the life cycle of trees and butterflies and enjoy caring for the herbs and plants in the garden. Staff place a strong focus on increasing children's language and listening and attentions skills. For example, children quickly settle for a story and show good levels of interest and enjoyment. Staff provide a good range of activities for those children who attend after school to freely choose from and this complements their school day well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

On arrival, children quickly settle into eating their lunch and staff use this time well to engage children in conversation. Staff have close relationships with children and children are happy and confident. Staff help children learn about each other and the wider community. For example, children learn about a variety of homes, such as flats, houses and caravans. Staff help children learn about eating a healthy diet, such as limiting sugary foods and eating more fruits and vegetables. Staff provide good opportunities for children to be outdoors and increase their physical skills. Children behave well, respond well to changes in the routine and enjoy taking on extra responsibility, such as helping to tidy up and sweep the floor. Staff help children take controlled risks as they play and help them learn how to keep safe.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

The vast majority of children move on to a school nursery at the age of three years. All children make good progress from their starting points and are well prepared for their next stage of learning. Children show sustained levels of interest during the daily music and movement session as they turn, twist, shuffle and jump. Children thoroughly enjoy making marks as they play and enjoy rhythm and rhyme activities and using musical instruments. Children have good opportunities to be creative and use their senses to explore a variety of art and craft activities.
