p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The staff ensure that the play space is safe and secure for the children to play in and are knowledgeable about the setting's safeguarding policy. The manager skilfully includes safeguarding within most of the policies and sets regular safeguarding quizzes for the staff, keeping them informed and interested. The manager ensures that staff are recruited and vetted prior to commencing employment, demonstrating the high priority given to keeping children safe. The manager uses supervision meetings to support the professional development of the team. This provides staff with opportunities to improve their skills with interactions and understanding the playwork principles. The manager and the team reflect regularly on the setting's operation and use information gathered from this process to provide exciting new resources.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children show their understanding of the world, for example, the playworker asks children to locate Australia on a large map, which they easily do so. This sparks conversations about the many places children have visited and each child talks excitedly about holidays in the sunshine. The playworker listens with interest and joins in by adding her knowledge of the countries visited to further inspire the children's conversations. They use activities, such as cookery, to consolidate their knowledge of measure and size. Staff use questions to assess what children's interests are and answer knowledgeably. They adapt their communication for the younger children and provide playful activities for children to explore for themselves. Creative art and craft materials are easily accessible and children use these to make models of all sizes and colourful collages. Children are encouraged to be independent in finding their own play resources

from the easily accessible range to support their interests.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children arrive and settle into playing with resources that are readily set out. They enjoy the small-world toys, such as the doll's house, trains, and a table with a variety of board games. The manager understands the importance of settling new children and has introduced a buddy system where older children show newer children where to find games and resources. Children show their independence at snack time by selecting their snack for themselves. Support to those who need help choosing fillings is provided by the playworker and buddies. Children's behaviour is mostly good and the playworker gives frequent praise. A 'behaviour ladder' is used as a visual reminder and an incentive for children; some children are keen to see themselves move up the ladder, recognising that their efforts are being acknowledged.
