n Since the last inspection, the manager and staff have worked hard to make significant improvements.

For instance, she uses feedback from parents, staff and children to identify areas for development. n Staff encourage children's good behaviour and act as positive role models through their calm and friendly manner.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Since the last inspection, managers have started to develop secure systems to evaluate the setting, challenging any weaknesses and making clear improvements to benefit children. For example, the layout of the setting has been altered in order to control the noise level and allow children to better concentrate on activities and listen to staff. The manager and staff team work very well together to provide a good-quality and well- organised service where staff feel supported and enjoy their roles. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have a very clear understanding of the responsibility to keep children safe, with a thorough understanding of what to do should they have concerns for a child's welfare. Management follows a thorough recruitment and induction process. Systems for assessing staff's ongoing suitability to work with children are robust.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are busy and engaged throughout their time at the setting. Staff have a good knowledge of the children, and activities and resources consider children's interests. Staff organise the room into different areas and children can make choices about their play, with staff supporting and facilitating this. Staff take account of children's feedback and provide them with activities they have requested, for example film nights and talent shows. Staff encourage children's independence. For instance, children serve and help to prepare their own healthy snacks. Staff communicate well with children, using techniques to encourage them to extend their learning by using new vocabulary and explaining what they are making when using craft materials. Staff skilfully ask questions to allow children to think through problems and find solutions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff create a warm and friendly environment that children enjoy attending. Staff listen to children's views and value their opinions. For example, snack times are enjoyable group experiences for children. They enjoy talking to staff about their day at school and staff listen, asking relevant questions. Parents speak highly of the setting, the range of resources on offer and the warm and caring staff. Children are familiar with the setting's routines and there is a calm atmosphere, with older children assisting the younger ones to know routines and join in with group games. The key-person system supports children to form secure relationships with staff, supporting their emotional well-being effectively. Parents know who to share key information with. Children's health is supported well and they learn the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Staff have attended relevant training to help support their knowledge of additional health needs or dietary
