Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff understand the procedures for reporting any child protection concerns as outlined in the safeguarding policy. Children are supervised during activities and staff carry out regular checks on children who are asleep. Thorough checks are completed during the recruitment process and are ongoing to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff are well qualified, which generally has a positive impact on the planning and learning experiences that are provided for children. The manager monitors the educational programmes for children effectively. All children are progressing well in their learning and development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff work closely with parents to assess children's starting points on entry. This helps them to assess what stages of development the children have reached in their learning. Overall, staff use this information effectively, alongside their good knowledge of children's interests, to plan enjoyable and exciting activities to help children to progress in their development. Children enjoy exploring with different textures and materials. They delight in making potions as they add water to flour. Staff encourage children to use their fingers to explore the feel of the mixture. They support children to describe how it feels and help them to develop their language. Staff enable babies to explore and introduce them to a range of natural resources. They giggle as they feel the ice and listen to the bubbles pop on the paper. Staff use words, such as 'pop' and 'rattle' to help children to match sounds and words. This supports children's early language

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide an engaging and accessible environment to foster exploration. Babies thrive as caring staff gently support them to develop their balance and coordination to take early steps. Staff attentively notice the signs that babies are hungry or tired. They respond to these, such as sitting with them in a quiet cosy area to give them their bottle of milk. Staff coordinate efficient routines to keep children interested and enthusiastic about developing new skills. For example, children are keen to take part in the dance session. Children manage their own personal needs well. They are encouraged to be kind and considerate to others, which is reflected in their good behaviour.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children, including those in receipt of funding, make good progress. They gain the skills they need for the next stage in their learning, including moving on to school. Children develop excellent social skills. They use their growing investigative skills to explore, such as when working together to break the ice in the outdoor water tray and watching it melt. Children listen attentively to stories and confidently discuss their ideas. They recognise and some attempt to write their names.
